Here is a fabulous new design by Singing Tree Flutes! A Native American style Drone flute, in Aeolian mode with a total of 8 playing holes. Still considered an alternating drone, the melody side of the flute still plays the standard Aeolian scale, but the drone side plays a total of 5 notes with one fingering hole on top and another thumb hole on the bottom. The drone can now play the scale degrees of 1,4,5,6 , that can be changed to drone through the whole melody. This flute uses all 5 fingers on the left hand, so it could e a challenge for some to learn... Luckily you can cork, tape or cover the thumb and or inky while you are learning. It is made of limba wood, with walnut end caps and claw sound blocks.
