Product Details
The Meditation Flute is made from eastern, white cedar which is a very soft wood and therefore gives a softer more mellow tone. Also, the sound mechanism is "woodland's style," as taught to Dennis by his mentor, Louis Webster and adds to the sweetness of the sound. The mellow tone of the meditation flute makes it an excellent choice for personal meditation or playing in settings like yoga studios, or in nature.
Cedar Wood
In choosing wood for his flutes Dennis followed the industry standard for guitars. He is a guitar player so it seemed to make sense to him. So he has used cedar for his flutes because of the warm sound it creates. He also chose cedar because it is considered sacred by many Native American tribes in the US. As Dennis' wife's cousin, Native American flute player, Bill Miller told Dennis: "Don't forget that the Native American Flute is a sacred instrument." This was later re-enforced by Lakota elder and teacher, Basil Braveheart. Basil would have Dennis play his flutes at the end of a healing ceremony. He reminded Dennis that the Native American Flute is like the sacred pipe, it sends a voice to Creator "with prayers too deep for words."
Key
This flute is in tuned to F Minor pentatonic.
Totems
The totem, beyond being decorative, is designed to channel the air. There are four different totems to choose from: eagle, wolf, buffalo and bear. These symbolize the four primary directions, eagle = east; wolf = south; buffalo = west and bear = north. Eagle represents vision, wolf symbolizes family, buffalo is strength and bear is the healer. But for yourself, which animal is most important to you and do you identify with the most?
Finish
The lacquer does not touch your lips! Your flute does not need special care. Each flute is treated with a European lacquer that gives it a luster that parallels the sound. A new feature on the new models is the blow hole at the end of the flute that touches your mouth. That part of the flute has been burned with a wood burner and treated with bee's wax so that you are not exposing your lips to lacquer. It also adds a nice classy and unique look to your flute.
