River Cane D Alto Flute - Native American Style NAF

The flutes are simple and powerful instruments, they are directly related to the vital movement of the breath, the exchange of energy through the breath that transports life, sound and allows to express the unspeakable. Music, in particular melody, is nothing less than a range of vibrations interacting and relating, the flute being one of the most suitable musical instruments to initiate the universe of relationships and melodic combinations.

Breath is the manifestation of life, the only thing we need to do in the first instance to keep us alive is to breathe, and our respiratory system is both involuntary and voluntary, it is possible to exercise some control over it, so the act of blowing and producing sound is very magical because it is a creative act, it is movement; life!

The native flute has elements that favor musical awakening, that is, our innate ability to make music, and helps to deconstruct the idea that only people with natural talents for music can make it.

At first, every flute created by native peoples is considered a native flute, in the Americas, we have many native flutes, Brazil is rich in this sense, as many native peoples have their flutes. However, here we use the term “Native Flute” or Native American Style Flute, as a reference to a specific style of flute, developed in North America, whose current characteristics were only standardized in the second half of the twentieth century. Its main characteristic that differentiates it from other native Amerindian flutes is the fact of having two chambers (slow air and sound chamber) whose air passage from one to another, happens through a block on a table creating a tunnel for the bevel (whistle / chimney). This feature offers a soft sound and is sensitive to blowing variations, in addition to facilitating the production of sounds.

What definitely marked Native American flute, with an unmistakable musical style, was the standardization of a minor pentatonic scale. This mysterious scale that brings us to deep emotions and nature, was already used by other very old peoples. The minor pentatonic scale was incorporated into the native flute with a combination of elements that reason can hardly explain, what we know is that this marriage has combined in such a way that today, the native flute has become a symbol of ancestral rescue, of connection with nature and the “return home” path. What we can say is that words will not be enough to explain what you will feel when you play your native flute. I felt magic and beauty, vibrating peace and love in the universe; our mission is to share this magic with you.

The main advantage of the native flute is that it is an instrument of rapid mastery, which facilitates musical initiation for people who have never played an instrument, creating the possibility of rescuing their musicality, acting as a powerful ally in meditative, respiratory and therapeutic practices. In a few minutes playing the flute you will notice its magical effects.

Our flutes are handmade creations worked one by one with a lot of love. We take care of bamboos since harvest, preparation and drying for months. It is a slow and careful process. Each flute that is born has its own unique personality. The pictures of the flutes are references for you to choose and order your new flute. Due to the wide variety of models and customization possibilities, we need a delivery time:

The “Flute Time”.

To create a flute, there is an alchemical conscience working in the invisible through 4 elements, the craftsman is an interpreter of the process, and when he is integrated with the natural flow of raw material and participates in each stage of gestation, he develops the subtle art of knowing what each bamboo will be like a flute. The craftsman's intention is shaped by the shape and nature of the material. The latent flute awaits the presence of the Being, to manifest what it is from the beginning!

If you are looking for an instrument of power and vibrational healing, this is our mission, and time is a value in favor, necessary for the manifestation of an instrument with Soul.
