Redwood & Walnut – Key of D Flute
This Key of D flute offers a rich, resonant voice in a lower tonal range—ideal for intermediate to experienced players seeking both presence and nuance. Crafted from salvaged redwood with walnut endcaps and a matching walnut bird, this flute is as visually striking as it is musically expressive.
 
The redwood body is feather-light, making it especially comfortable for long playing sessions. Its grain, marked by tiger-stripe patterns and tight growth rings, reveals its origins in a massive, weather-worn tabletop found beached on the Oregon coast. The density and character of the wood suggest it is old growth—imbued with the patience and resilience of time.
 
Walnut accents add visual contrast and tonal crispness, grounding the flute in both beauty and balance. While redwood’s lightness is an asset for ease of play, it is also delicate—susceptible to dents if handled roughly. This is an instrument that invites both reverence and care.
 
Metaphysical Properties
Redwood symbolizes ancient wisdom, spiritual endurance, and the ability to rise above life's storms. Having survived for centuries in misty coastal forests, it teaches us resilience and deep-rooted grace. Its calming energy supports emotional clarity and inner peace.
 
Walnut, in contrast, carries the energy of deep grounding, insight, and discernment. It is often associated with personal transformation and the unlocking of inner truth. Together, redwood and walnut embody the journey inward—one of connection, stability, and heart-centered awareness.
The voice of this flute is full-bodied and expressive. When played, it seems to bypass the mind and speak directly from the heart—offering not just music, but a moment of emotional resonance and spiritual alignment.
