    This flamewood instrument measures 22-1/4 inches in length, with an oval bore of 1”x 1-3/32”, tuned to D4# (E♭). Despite its size, the flute doesn’t require a challenging amount of wind, and has very reasonably placed finger holes. With the greatest spread being 1-1/4”. That being said,...

    Woods used at the mouthpiece include old growth redwood burl capped with the flamewood, while the fetish...
