Cedar Native Style Flute – (Larger Bore, Kokopelli Engraving)
Crafted from aromatic cedar, this larger bore Native American style flute in the key of A minor is designed with experienced players in mind—especially those with larger hands. While its size and spacing may pose a challenge for some beginners, seasoned players will appreciate the powerful voice and expressive range this flute offers.
The bore diameter and larger finger holes contribute to a bold, resonant tone—what many describe as carrying a distinctly masculine energy. It produces rich, full-bodied notes with a commanding presence. The size of the tone holes allows for more confident half-holing techniques, offering greater control over subtle pitch variations.
To help potential buyers compare, a reference image is provided showing this flute alongside a smaller bore variation. Please pay particular attention to the diameter of the finger holes, as well as the overall spacing between them. The smaller-bore flute may be a better option for players with smaller hands or those new to the instrument.
As with most large bore flutes, there is a trade-off: the highest notes in the upper register may be slightly less in tune compared to smaller bore counterparts. This is a natural acoustic limitation and typically not noticeable in casual or expressive solo play.
The foot of this flute is adorned with a laser-engraved Kokopelli—a traditional figure associated with fertility, joy, and music-making—adding a touch of Southwest symbolism and artistic elegance.
This is an instrument for those seeking a deeper voice, a bold presence, and a strong visual connection to Native American style and spirit.
