Details
Our EarthTone 432 Hz flute in the key of 'A' minor is handcrafted in southern Arizona from a single piece of Aromatic Cedar. Aromatic Cedar is a softwood, which give the flute a warm, full tonal quality.
For over 30-years we have been crafting flutes from single pieces of Aromatic Cedar and in the process we have become adept at choosing planks with natural characteristics to turn into incredible sounding flutes. Aromatic Cedar has a range of colors from ginger-orange to burgundy-red, it can also showcase sapwood which is yellow colored wood found in Aromatic Cedar.
The key of 'A' is an ideal flute for learning to play the flute. It has a soothing mid-tone musical voice, its size and length make it an instrument that is highly accessible for most hand sizes. Every flute we make is unique piece of functional art. When you choose one of our Aromatic Cedar flutes we guarantee is high-quality sound, its flawless craftmanship, and its one-of-a-kind features created by nature.
The flute is tuned in the key of "A" minor and can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of "C". This flute is 19 inches (48 cm) long.
About 432 Hz Tuning Frequency
Our EarthTone wooden flutes use a 432 Hz frequency for the “A” note and all other notes are aligned accordingly. When played alongside flutes that are tuned to the frequency of 440 Hz, the 432 Hz tonal difference is very subtle. The 8Hz of tonal difference are seemingly slight in degree but can be perceptibly different when experiencing the feeling of the music we hear. Much like the subtle inflection of the human voice that can project a subtle variation in feelings, an instrument using a slight change in frequency can alter the feeling quality of the music being played.
An instrument known as a CymaScope can project the physical geometric patterns of any specific vibration. By connecting the instrument to a vessel of liquid or a solid medium such as sand on a plate, the vibration of a specific frequency will create consistent unique geometric shapes. Internet searches for “CymaScope 432Hz” will give many options to see the instrument creating the various patterns.
