Tiger Maple/Bubinga/Purple Heart

Tiger Maple/Bubinga/Purple Heart

Popular with many Native American flute aficionados, this is a beautiful, powerful flute. I'm using Tiger Maple for the body, the end caps are Purple Heart and Bubinga. The bird is Big Leaf Maple burl and I've inlaid 3mm cabochons along the top and around the end caps. Each flute will have a slightly different figure to the grain, but suffice it to say that I pick the best Tiger Maple I can find to build these flutes. Overall length for all keys will be around 26". My Em flutes have a pretty good reach between the holes, so if your hands are small or stiff, the Em may not be a good choice for comfort. F#m and Gm might might serve you better, physically.
Having said all that, this flute not only looks stunning, but she plays with a full, throaty voice.

Hi Richard
Thanks so much for the tiger maple/bubinga flute ... it is just totally
amazing in every way.  I was taken back by how beautiful it was and the
sound is so hauntingly charismatic.  You have such a gift in your flute
making and playing and I am honoured to be able to play and perform with
this instrument.  Everyone one who I get to show it to gasps when they see
and hear it!!  It will certainly mean a lot to me as I already am delighting
in making music with it.
I hope things are really going well in Taos....it must be a very special
experience indeed to be there in such a special place as well as the
experience of living an Earthship.  I am sure the others around you are
appreciate the gifts you have to offer.
 Playing your flute will only add to the joy the I get out of life.

Thanks again and God Bless
I'll stay in touch
