O Branco Mar Mediterrâneo - Flauta Al-Bahr Ashar Flautas
THE SYMBOL · THE WHITE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

The liquid bridge between ancient worlds

In Arabic, the Mediterranean Sea is called Al-Baḥr al-Abyaḍ al-Mutawassiṭ — “The White Middle Sea”.

For millennia, its waters did not separate peoples: they connected them. Boats carrying spices, poetry and instruments crossed from Arabia and the Levant to Egypt, Greece and Andalusia.

The Al-Bahr Flute is born as a tribute to this crossing: a breath that carries the salt of the sea, the memory of ancient ports and the secret unity between civilizations.

A sea without borders. A melody that unites shores.

THE MUSICAL TRADITION · HIJAZ SCALE

One scale, many ancestral names

In the sonic heart of the Al-Bahr pulses the legendary Hijaz Scale — one of humanity’s oldest and most evocative musical matrices.

Traveling along maritime routes and caravans, this same sequence of intervals received different names in each culture that played it: Maqam Hijaz in the Arab world, Hitzaz in the Greek tradition, Dominant Phrygian or Spanish Gypsy in Andalusian flamenco, as well as dialoguing with devotional ragas of the East.

Its characteristic augmented second leap immediately awakens an epic, contemplative and mysterious atmosphere — ideal for free improvisation and cinematic soundtracks.

When the bamboo sings in Hijaz, time seems to fold upon itself.

SONIC EXPERIENCE

The voices of the Mediterranean

Listen to the breath. Choose your tide.

Each Al-Bahr carries a sonic personality shaped by its tuning and finish — from the agile brightness of F and E to the cavernous and meditative depth of D and C.

For those starting on the transverse embouchure, we recommend the F or E tunings due to the smaller spacing between the holes. For those already experienced, D and C offer breathtaking lows.

A millenary scale. Four depths of sea.
