Designed and manufactured in Ireland using traditional techniques by Tintern Crafts.
The Native American flute is a straightforward instrument to pick up and play. The more you practice, the better you will get, but even a beginner can play something that sounds great. These flutes are tuned to a minor pentatonic scale, and so each note plays well with every other note.
The flutes are manufactured using two different tones. In the Earth Tone range, they are tuned to a reference frequency of A=432Hz while the Concert Pitch series is tuned to A=440Hz. Concert Pitch flutes pair well with traditional instruments such as piano or violin.
