Kestrel high 'D' Aromatic Cedar with Turquoise (final sale)

Our Kestrel Flute in the musical key of high 'D' minor is handcrafted from domestic Aromatic Cedar, which is a softwood that gives the flute a warm, full musical voice. Our Kestrel series is named after the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) which is one of the smallest falcon birds found in North America, and one of our beloved fellow residents here in southern Arizona.

High-tone flutes are a great instrument for drum circles because their higher pitch allows them to beautifully stands out among lower-tone instruments. Each flute we make is unique piece of functional art. In it's craftsmanship we guarantee high-quality sound, flawless design, and one-of-a-kind natural beauty.

This flute is tuned to the key of 'D' minor but it can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale, in the key of 'F'. It's length is 15-inches / 38 cm.

For 35-years we've been making flutes from single pieces of Aromatic Cedar and we are adept at choosing planks that can be transformed into flutes with incredible sound quality. Aromatic Cedar is a wood that comes in a wide range of red tones, from ginger orange to burgundy red, to pale yellow sapwood.

The Kestrel 'D' is the highest octave flute that we make in the key of 'D' minor. It's makes a great accompaniment to any of our bass flutes also in the key of 'D'.
