Our Persian Scale Flute in the key of “A” is handcrafted from domestic, sustainable Aromatic Cedar, a softwood celebrated for its warm, resonant tone and beautiful natural grain. This unique flute is tuned to the Persian scale, a deeply expressive musical mode that originates from Middle Eastern traditions and is related to Raga Lalit in Hindustani Classical Music.
The Persian scale offers an exotic, soulful voice that is rich with mystery and emotional depth. It allows players to explore improvisation in a way that reflects the Eastern classical tradition of Rāga—a melodic framework that, much like Western modes, provides a foundation for creativity and expression. In Hindu tradition, Rāgas are considered to have a natural existence, discovered by artists rather than invented, and are believed to connect music with spirituality and liberation (moksha).
Handcrafted with precision and care, the Persian Scale Flute combines the artistry of Native American style flutes with the distinctive tonal qualities of Middle Eastern music. The use of Aromatic Cedar gives the instrument a warm, full-bodied sound while ensuring exceptional responsiveness and playability. Whether you are a beginner exploring world music or an experienced musician looking to expand your repertoire, this flute opens a path to new musical landscapes.
