Our Preservation Hummingbird Signature Flute in the key of 'G' minor is inspired by the incredible hummingbirds that live and migrate through southern Arizona, and celebrates the Paton Center For Hummingbirds (part of the Tucson Audubon Society) located in our hometown of Patagonia.
Handcrafted from a single piece of Aromatic Cedar, the flute is hand-finished with nontoxic oils that seal the flute giving it a warm, resonant musical voice. Aromatic cedar is considered an tonal wood with exceptional sound qualities. The flute also features Paua Shell decorative inlay.
Tuned in the key of G minor it can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of A♯ / B♭. This flute is approximately 23-inches (56 cm) in length.
Every Signature Flute is designed to be both a musical instrument as well as a piece of beautiful artwork. Our precision tuning insures that each Signature Flute is easily able to meet the requirements of any musician.
Our Signature Series flutes combine artistry and functionality, as beautiful objects and musical instruments. These flutes have a unique design that provides exceptional responsiveness, player-control, and amplification through superior airflow, making them ideal for concert performances, experienced players, and professional musicians, and any genre of music.
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.
