The High Spirits Merlin in the key of "C" minor is made from walnut, a domestic hardwood. This wooden flute is the highest octave in the key of "C" we make. The flute is sealed with non-toxic oils, giving it a clear, bright voice.
It is very easy to play and durable, making it ideal for outdoor use such as hiking and backpacking. The Merlin is a good accompaniment flute for the
Condor Bass "C" flute.
It is a 6-hole wooden flute. We cover the 3rd hole from the top of the flute (known as the 6th hole) with a leather tie, giving the option to use it as a 6-hole or a 5-hole flute.
This flute is the highest octave we make in the Pentatonic key of 'C' minor, and it can also be played in the Relative Major Diatonic scale in the key of 'E'. This flute approximately 15.5 inches (39 cm) in length.
Our Preservation Collection was developed from our commitment to sustainability in the woodworking process, and our deep respect for the Earth's natural resources.
Preservation flutes are different from our regular flute collection because of small imperfections like minor shaping inconsistencies, stone inlay variations, design prototypes, unique wood qualities, or other cosmetic differences, which don't meet the aesthetic perfection of our regular flute line but never compromise their excellent sound quality.
Every flute in our Preservation Collection still meets our company's high-quality, American handcrafted, woodwind instrument guarantee, just at a deeply discounted value.
