Our Japanese Scale Spirit Flute in the key of “A” is handcrafted from domestic, sustainable Aromatic Cedar, a softwood prized for its warm, resonant voice and natural beauty. This flute is tuned to the Yo scale, one of the four principal scales in traditional Japanese music, most often heard in gagaku (classical court music) and shomyo (Japanese Buddhist chant).
The distinctive tuning of the Japanese scale creates an evocative, ethereal sound that instantly brings to life the spirit of East Asia. Its voice is both soulful and meditative, making it an excellent choice for sound healing, world music, and personal expression. As with all High Spirits Flutes, this instrument is carefully handcrafted to combine artistry and functionality. The Aromatic Cedar body not only provides exceptional tonal warmth but also ensures durability and responsiveness. Its design offers superior airflow and player control, making it accessible to beginners while still ideal for experienced musicians seeking to expand their musical range.
The Japanese Scale Spirit Flute in A is perfect for anyone wishing to explore the timeless beauty of Japanese-inspired music while enjoying the ease of play found in Native American style flutes.
