Aromatic Cedar Bass Flute

 

Aromatic Cear Bass Flute


Aromatic Cedar Bass Flute Block

Most flute players appreciate the problems involved with playing bass flutes. Finger hole spacing can often be very difficult, especially for those with small hands. Understanding this situation, and after several years of research, I can now offer Bass Flutes that can be played by anyone who has the ability to play a basic F# mid-range flute.

This flute is created from a wonderfully resonating knot free Aromatic Cedar (Juniper) and has a crisp, mellow tone.

The traditional style block is also created from Juniper and has two inlaid Abalone shell button enhancements.

This flute is tuned to a 6 hole Extended Pentatonic scale utilizing the most modern of Strobe tuning equipment.

With an overall length 33 inches (although it can be created shorter if required) and a bore size of one inch, this instrument is extremely light in weight and is beautifully balanced for easier playability.
