High Spirits - Handcrafted Native American Flutes

Odell Borg's Native American style flutes are the finest that we have ever come across. Aside from being a masterfully handcrafted flute, the High Spirit flutes are a true work of art that play as well as they look. Made from a solid piece of the finest cedar, walnut, birch and other fine domestic plantation-grown woods or recycled lumber, finished with three coats of a non-toxic hardening oil for durability and clarity of sound, each is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments. What is really unique and attractive about High Spirit's Native American flutes is that they are made out of a single piece of wood (uni-body design), not 2 pieces laminated together like many other Native American flutes available. Please call us for any questions on these amazing flutes and for their prices!
All the flutes are based on the minor pentatonic scale. This allows virtually anyone, regardless of their musical experience, to be able to sound fantastic in a matter of minutes! When used as a 5-hole flute it is in the pentatonic scale. When the 6th hole under the leather tie is exposed the flute will play the relative major key in both the Diatonic and Chromatic scales.

Double Sparrow Hawk in Cedar A Droner With a double flute you play the melody on one side and the other side provides the drone in the root note of the flute - it sounds like two people are playing. Double flutes have a double mouthpiece so you can switch from a double flute to a single flute instantly without adjustments. Our style is unique and generates more amplitude (volume) and the drone plays the low and high octaves easily.	Black Crowe "G" ~In Stock! The Crow flutes are inlayed with turquoise cabochons and are walnut that is Ebonized. This is a process used in the early 1900. Even though the wood was already rare and costly, Ebony furniture was popular at that time. To compensate for that, wood workers developed a dyeing process called Ebonizing. Unlike a stain, the dyeing process penetrates the wood fiber deeply simulating the black texture of Ebony. Walnut is ideal for this process because it has a dark brown grain that streaks through the black dye giving it a similar look to Ebony. This process does not change the sound quality of the wood.
