Check out this giant Juniper E flat contra bass Native American style flute with walnut end caps, a walnut sound block, a walnut back-blown mouthpiece, and turquoise inlay in the natural knots of the wood. We are offering this as a made to order item for a limited time, because we have some extra big chunks of this wood on hand. This one already has found a home. We can make in E, E flat Or D.
This gorgeous instrument is encompassing with its massive resonant-rich sound that produces a deeply meditative, hypnotic tone. Tuned below standard flutes, this low toned instrument allows for slow, earthy melodies that vibrate physically in the chest while offering a unique, unplugged acoustic experience that just isn't possible with a smaller flute. The low fundamental frequency of the E-flat contrabass creates a warm, "earthy" yet powerful acoustic profile. It is often described as feeling deeply grounding and therapeutic.
Because of its size, a contrabass flute typically requires a significantly larger air reservoir and wider finger stretches. However, we made this flute with offset ergonomic hole placement and thumb holes to make this large instruments much more playable and comfortable for average-sized hands. Kiera, our 23 year old beginner-intermediate flute player is able to comfortably play this flute with her small to medium sized hands with minimal issues.
