Our Classic Tanoak flute is handcrafted in the key of "G" minor flute (440 Hz) from a small batch of Tanoak wood. Like with all our flute it's handcrafted with a unibody construction, which means it's made from a single piece of wood.
Tanoak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) is a domestic hardwood that offers the flute a crisp, clear, musical voice that excels on high notes, with clarity throughout the flute's scale. Tanoak Classic features an Ebonized Walnut fetish with Dark Brown leather for the fetish-tie and the third hole cover.
The musical key of 'G' minor is very versatile; it plays well with other instruments and it is compatible with a variety of different music genres such as: traditional, romantic, blues, jazz, world fusion, and sound healing tones.
The Red Tail Hawk has a moderately deeper mid-tone voice, its approximately 21-inch (54 cm) length makes it a very accessible flute for most hand sizes. This flute is tuned in the key of 'G' minor but it can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of "A♯"/"B♭".
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.
