I have been a student of Scott for going on 2 years now via Skype and I have attended his workshops at both Zion Canyon Native Flute School in UT, and at the Santa Fe Flute School in Santa Fe, NM. I am looking forward to his next Native American Flute worksop (Yes Scott, I have decided to come!) in April and the Ancestral Spirits Anasazi Flute worksop in June. Scott is a very thorough and extremely positive and patient instructor. Having absolutely no previous musical experience in my life, he has helped and guided me down a very rewarding path with these magical instruments. -Mark Nixon
I just received my Ellis Anasazi flute! Cannot wait to learn more from your site and videos! I can't believe the tone that comes out of these flutes, my first time trying the flute and it already makes a beautiful sound!
+Stan Darsh Good for you! Enjoy the journey. It's a lot of fun. If you need help visit the Santa Fe Flute School for information on lessons and workshops.
Very good description on how to play and enjoy who know ,want and play these types of flutes. For me its such a great joy to listen to watch you play. Not a flute player, much better just to listen, watch and learn from the unknown about playing these flutes. Thank you. Just listen to it on how sounds.
Hello my friend I just want to let you know you've been an inspiration with both Anasazi flute as well as the Xioa iron inspiring flute player who plays music in Wisconsin for these flutes have never even been heard of I use it for sound therapy yoga as well as entertainment as well the Anasazi flute I have one but unfortunately I have the one that you did not recommend LOL just curious if you have any used Anasazi flutes in Your Arsenal that you might want to sell I'd be greatly appreciative and will definitely make some nice TH-cam videos and promote and tagged you and whatever I make
I can't afford to buy an Anasazi flute, so I'm making one out of PVC. The first song I'm going to figure out how to play on it is _Lazy Afternoons_ from Kingdom Hearts II.
I've made a couple out of PVC and now I can get decent tones out of them, but getting the notes that I want has been difficult. Hoping to graduate to a real end-blown flute this Spring.
@@juliotancredi7468 I used a blog for inspiration: brokensky.biz/blogs/?page_id=47 Then I used the tuner on my phone to try and dial it in (sorry about the pun).
@@stephenhill6003 Thanks for sharing this useful link. I just bought a used Ellis Peublo flute in Bb, I'm planning to build some Magein Avot or other keys out of PVC during this holiday
Very interesting video, Scott. I was born and raised in Japan and played shakuhachi for many years. But of course, the Anasazi flute is not a shakuhachi, and neither is it any other flute, although those with a background of playing these other flutes might try to modify it it or make it in the direction of other flutes. The minor key tuning of this particular specimen of Anasazi flute that you played is also interesting, as most videos of the Anasazi flute that are up on TH-cam definitely have a major key orientation. Are there different tunings and scales on different Anasazi flutes?
The Anasazi flute found in archaeological context did not have a notch and bicel. Due to its characteristics, the Anasazi flute belongs to the "oblique flutes" which sound without peak or notch, like some folklore flutes from the Middle East.
ellisflutes.com You need to contact him. Don't figure that if you don't see anything on the website he doesn't have it. Good makers don't have time to work on their websites. They're too busy making flutes.
I just started playing the Anasazi Flute today. After playing the standard NAF, the Anasazi is VERY difficult. I know with practice I will get better. I know the proper breathing and positioning techniques but is there anything that I am missing? I sometimes get half a note to come through but I mostly here the air and a squeaking sound. Someone, please help. Thank you.
Anasazi Flute , si se parece mucho al Shakuhachi , al menos en la embocadura ? Muy buen vídeo Scott . Si hablas Español seria genial también en este idioma , Gracias Colega.

I followed Scott's advice a couple years ago and bought my first Anasazi from Geoffrey Ellis. Thanks Scott! Hope to get you up to Estes this year :-)
What a melody (the last bit). I am speechless.
Thanks,scott.
Wow beautiful
Thanks for listening!

On his members section (free) you can check out the different scales and fingerings.

Es muy parecido a un Shakuhachi. Nadie quiere oírme hablar español.
Scott August Claro que sí, tienes admiradores en España y Cataluña también ;)
What's the difference between an archeologist and a tomb robber? One is white and has a degree in it, the other doesn't pretend
this music sucks
Not really. Your comment does though.
