Our Preservation Golden Eagle mid-tone flute in the key of "F♯" minor has a haunting, ethereal voice that touches the heart and spirit. Crafted from domestic, Aromatic Cedar, which is a softwood that gives the flute a warm resonant full musical voice. All our flutes are proudly crafted in southern Arizona.
The flute is tuned in the key of "F♯" minor and it can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of "A".
Aromatic Cedar wood has a range of colors from ginger-orange to burgundy-red, it can also showcase sapwood which is the yellow wood color also present in Aromatic Cedar. The flute is inlaid with decorative Turquoise cabochons which add to the natural beauty of the flute and enhance the functional art quality of the instrument.
This flute is approximately 24-inches (61 cm) long. This is a six hole flute, which comes with a leather hole cover that can be used to close the third hole from the top (as seen in the picture) to make learning to play very easy. The hole cover can easily be removed.
Since 1990 High Spirits Flutes has been handcrafting flutes from single piece of wood. We have become adept at the process of choosing planks with natural beauty and turning them into incredible sounding flutes. When you choose one of our flutes we guarantee its high-quality sound, its flawless craftmanship, and one-of-a-kind characteristic of the unique piece of wood that it's crafted from.
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.
