This gorgeous Eagle Flute was made by Ken Light (Amon Olorin Flutes), with his Sonoran (Gm) tuning. A finely crafted instrument. Achieves 'work of art' status in a very subtle and authentic manner. Plays beautifully, with a vibrational and highly energetic Plains sound - extremely responsive.
This flute, made by Dakota flute player and maker Bryan Akipa, seems to have come right out of the 19th century. Made of Eastern Red Cedar, thick-walled, with a birch bark spacer under the block. The traditional beadwork is sewn onto the flute. Very powerful, haunting, and evocative sound . Root note is E.

Western Red Cedar 5 hole flute by Michael Gulino (Moonlight Creek Flutes). This stunning low C# instrument has a deep, rich, mellow, yet vibrational voice. Transitions to the notes above the octave with great ease - but never 'overblows' accidentally. Shown with abstract 'Raven Steals the Light' beadwork by DLQ.
Eastern Red Cedar Coyote Oldman flute made by Michael Graham Allen (Coyote Oldman Music), in the key of Em. Solid bored and thick walled - a wonderful flute with an amazing and very evocative sound.
