Let's
take a look at a G Native American
flute made by Michael Gulino of
Moonlight Creek flutes. This
flute is one of my favorite flutes.
It's easy to play, responds well to my
fingers and is very expressive. I use
it a lot live, and recorded it on the
song "Emergence" from Distant
Spirits. The
flute is 21-1/2" long (all measurements
are rounded) and has a 1" bore. It has
only five holes, but can play all the
notes that a six hole flute can.
Michael made it for me in 2000 and it
is #269 of that year. His flutes are
hand rounded which is very time
consumming. This flute has a classic
Native American flute sound to my ears.
The tone is sweet, clear and has the
familiar haunting quality of the
instrument. |
