EarthTone 'A' Maple

This is our EarthTone 432 Hz flute in the key of 'A' minor crafted from a single piece of Soft Maple wood, which gives the flute a balanced clear musical voice. It features Rainbow Moonstone cabochons, a fetish symbolizing the circle of life, and it is engraved with a geometric pattern representing the 432 Hz frequency. 

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.

Our EarthTone 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 8 Hz of tonal difference are seemingly slight in degree but can be perceptibly different when experiencing the feeling of the music we hear.  

In the world of music there has been a revival of tuning instruments to lower frequencies of sound vibration.  Until recently, most musical instruments have been tuned so that the “A” note (of the middle octave on a piano) is tuned to 440 Hz (Hz = cycles per second).  This is known as Concert Pitch and was established as a standard at the beginning of the 20th century.

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.

This is a six hole flute. We automatically include a leather hole cover with this flute. Covering the third hole from the top makes the flute easier to learn to play.
