Native American flute samples
Scott August's
recordings features Native American flutes.
Read and listen about one of them.
Now
let's take a look at a Native American
flute made by Marvin Yazzie of Yazzie
flutes. This
was the first Yazzie flute I got and it
is featured on my latest CD, New Fire,
on track 10 "Ancient Memories". I love
the subtleties of Yazzie flutes.
They're great solo
instruments. This
flute is also 21-1/2" long and has a 1"
bore. This is a six hole flute and is
hand carved by Marvin with a spoke
shaver. Yazzie flutes have a haunting,
round sound, which to my ears sounds a
little clarinet-like. They still have
that classic sound, but with a slightly
unique quality.
This flute is made of cedar, but notice
the lighter color.
It also has a wonderful horse block and
tips made from walnut.
