This is rare beauty to behold! A very unique contrabass drone flute in C NAF minor, with contrabass G Drone. The flute body is aromatic cedar, with end caps and abstract claw totems of pacific yew. These flutes are very special because they are end-blown, and have a manageable finger spread for most experienced players, but still have the contrabass tone droning while the bass melody is being played. The drone side G, being a 4th step below the fundamental note, C, is what creates this unique tone. The video link will give you an example of this in C/G, but this can be made in B/F# as well, and be tuned in 440 Hz or 432Hz tuning if desired. We are offering this in Aeolian tuning as well.
Below is a video demonstrating the Aeolian version(but we will use the Cedar and Yew for the woods)
SPECS: Concert tuned to a Low C NAF minor with Contra G Drone, 440 hrtz --- Approximate Length is 40", with a 1 1/4" Bore--- Maximum finger spacing is 1 5/8"(holes 2 and 3 from center to center.. bottom hand)--- Distance From Mouth Piece to First Hole = 21"
This item is Made to Order. This means that once you order, we create a flute in the same key, wood, style and accents.

Sometimes we are able to complete orders sooner, but please allow 60-180 days to complete more complex Made to Order items. Time needed to complete your flute varies by order volume, wood availability and complexity of your flute.
