Native American-Style Flute, Key of C, 6-Hole - Used
The Native American-style flute is one of the most approachable and expressive wind instruments around — no embouchure to develop, no reed to manage, just breath and fingers producing a warm, haunting tone that's immediately satisfying to play. This is a well-made example in what appears to be cedar or redwood, with a two-piece construction, a separately carved wooden fetish block secured with leather lacing and accented with red and blue beads, a clean square flue cut, six finger holes, and a thumbhole on the back. The foot end is nicely turned and finished. The craftsmanship throughout is noticeably above entry-level — this is a quality instrument by an unknown maker, not a production import.
Tuned to the key of C and playing at modern pitch. Minor cosmetic dings and signs of play — nothing structural. No case included, no maker's marks present anywhere on the instrument.
Condition is Very Good.
