Our Preservation Crow Flute in the key of "G" minor (440 Hz) is handcrafted from Ebonized domestic Walnut, a hardwood.  The Crow has a very special musical tonal quality because of the Ebonize Walnut wood flute body.

The Crow flute goes through a time-consuming, multi-step process that involves being ebonized multiple times and then repeatedly sealed with coats of non-toxic oil, to create the final high-gloss finish along with an incredible musical sound quality of this flute's voice.

The flute is then completed with decorative Turquoise cabochons enhance the natural beauty of the instrument and adding to its character as both a musical instrument and a piece of functional artwork.

The flute is tuned in the key of "G" minor and can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of "A♯". This flute is 21.25 inches (54 cm) long.

Ebonizing was a process used frequently in the early 20th century.  It was invented to make furniture that looked similar to real Ebony wood without the actual cost of that rare and highly-prized wood.  Unlike staining, ebonizing penetrates deep into the wood's fibers giving brown Walnut wood a similar look to that of black Ebony wood.

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.

Since 1990 High Spirits Flutes has been handcrafting flutes from single piece of wood. We have become adept at the process of choosing planks with natural beauty and turning them into incredible sounding flutes. When you choose one of our flutes we guarantee its high-quality sound, its flawless craftmanship, and one-of-a-kind characteristic of the unique piece of wood that it's crafted from.

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.
