This flute provides an interesting twist to modern day flute playing, but the category of wind instrument is ancient: over 6000 years old in fact. Our Double Drone Flute is in the traditional Native American style, making a triangular shape with a signature block toward the mouthpieces carved into the shape of a bird. The Native American Style of flute is often recognized as a “tool of healing”, because playing music (or even just listening) is soothing to the mind, and enriches the brain.
Connected through a single duct, one side plays the base note consistently, and the other plays the melody you perform. It is also possible to play one side at a time. It is made out of wood and has 5 keyholes, excluding the drone side. Wooden flutes not only tend to be easier to learn but are more cost friendly and easy to maintain. These flutes should be stored in a dry place, as prolonged exposure to water can cause water damage to any wooden object.
The dimensions are 10” x 15.25”.
