Black Locust NAF Flute – Key of F# 440Hz

This new six hole Native American Styled flute is hand crafted from Old Growth, 1st generation cut Black Locust from  eastern slopes of the Colorado Rockies.  Black Locust is a very hard domestic wood that many people consider junk wood but I like it.  This flute measures 23 1/2″ long (measured on top) and features a 3/4″ inch bore give this F# a nice bright tone.  The Slow Air Chamber (SAC) is 3 1/2″ in length with the blow-hole approximately 2 1/2″ in length giving this flute a longer aesthetic.  Completely hand crafted and this flute features my signature step in front of the windway.  Simple in design I have added our Otter fetish block which is crafted from a piece of Black Locust.  Leather accents are hand cut Bison and is Dark Brown in color.

BlkLocust_02_DSC0338This flute like all of our flutes has been sealed on the inside of the flute to help against wetting out.  This is a very easy flute to play and it allows you to blow soft or hard and not lose the sound. Tuned to F# at 440Hz at 6500 foot elevation, the 3/4 inch bore gives this flute a very bright voice.

The focusing channel on this flute is what I would consider a standard width and a proper depth providing some comfortable back pressure.  I  like playing this flute.  If you are looking for a smaller bore flute that you will love to play consider adding this to your collection.  Playing holes are average for this size flute and they are spaced a at approximately 1 1/8″ apart for the bottom 3 holes and 1 1/16 for the top three.  There is a space of 1 1/4″ between the #3 and #4 holes .  Ships with a protective flute bag.
