SpiritWinds - Native American Style Flutes handcrafted by Debruoniva & Tony Richards
|
|
Our flutes are a product of a dream which began on Fraser Island, an incredible place of beautiful forests and pristine freshwater lakes surrounded by sand dunes. The path led us to be influenced by many flutemakers in the U.S., but especially one particular Cherokee flute maker who gave great encouragement. Our flutes are constantly evolving and ever changing yet retain their uniquely Australian character. |
|
We are fortunate to have woods indigenous to Australia such as Queensland Maple, Rainforest Cedar , Rosewood, Teak & Blackwood, which all have their own qualities and resonance. We also have some odd pieces of wood come our way occasionally, and especially love using recycled timber when it is available. |
 |
| Each flute is constructed with a large primary air chamber to reduce 'wetting out'. A protective inlay is used for the comfortably shaped mouthpiece, assisting in the usage of various playing techniques. |
|
|
|
Every flute is drenched inside and out with a blend of natural oils, then the character of each piece of wood is truly brought out through a finish of shellac and natural resins. |
|
|
|
Included with each flute is a protective felt cover and also a simple instructional booklet to help you on your way towards discovering the unique qualities of your particular flute. |
