Thank You Silvia! I do like it. It takes a little extra work with more breath regulation for it to play "in-tune", but I will make some adjustments to correct that for my playing style preferences. It looks and sounds beautiful. I'm sure it will find a place in my music! ...and Thank You for suggesting that the previous owner and I get together to discuss this flute.
GREAT looks on that flute, Brent! I'm no expert on Native American languages, but let me take a stab at its name: Wa HAH Jo. I don't know what particular species of Poplar it is, but seeing as it is from Germany, it might be a local European Poplar, like Black Poplar (Populus nigra), which is quite different from the common Poplar sold in lumber yards here in the US, which tends to be Yellow Poplar, AKA Tulip Poplar, or Liriodendron tulipifera - as this indigenous American variety tends to be yellowish to olive colored. Poplar is probably my all round favorite tone wood for flute making; not only does it have a very soft, full bodied and velvety sound, but visually, it is also quite attractive - and its also very easy to work, even with hand tools. One of the best flutes in my personal collection is an F# flute I made from Rainbow Poplar; botanically speaking, Rainbow Poplar is the exact same species called Yellow Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), but the designation refers only to pieces that are so dark in color that the dark olive hues morph into dark greenish grey, or even black. A beautiful flute, and a beautiful sounding flute as well.
Nice looking flute, I'm sure you will get it to sound the way you want it to. Do you prefer in a drone flute the shotgun style over the A frame? Was able to pick up several H.S. flutes during their sale. Many Thanks!
Thank you very much Tim! I was able to get the tuning so that it doesn't require as much of a drastic change in breath pressure between close notes. It's much better now Thanks. I like playing drones better when the bores are separated...either the "A" frame design or the "over-under" style.... BUT, I like the portability and easier storage of the "side-by-side" or "over-under" designs. the "A"-frames take up more space and are a little more cumbersome to transport. High Spirits seems to be in the middle of changing their drone offerings. I'm not real fond of the Double Nova design with no form of a SAC...just a short direct recorder style mouthpiece. Great for portability, but I prefer the sound of their "A"-frames over the Nova. They are going to be only offering the "A"-frame in Aromatic Cedar or the Signature Drones (From what I understand... and I'm really hoping that they do not discontinue the standard "A"-frame and only offer them in the Signature models. Those are more expensive than most people...including me...can really afford). All that said, I play all types of drones.
I got it from a previous owner. The website for the Flute Maker is... indianerfloete.de/ Please note, that I found this flute to be a bit out of tune and had to make some adjustments on it. I can not recommend a flute like this unless you are able to try it first.
@@Tuttodunfiato.N.A.F I do not know of many Flute Makers from Europe. I have heard of Red Kite Flutes, but have not played one. High Spirits Flutes ships world wide and I can recommend them! They have some very affordable flutes. Their First Hawk is a wonderful flute in mid "A".

Thanks! The "name" is actually a meshing oh the Flute Maker's names....nothing to do with true Native American or their language.
Nice sounding flute. You probably can make any flute sound great;-)
Wow! Thank you so much Sonja! I really appreciate your support and comments.....and humbly Thank you again.
Score!
It was a good trade for both of us I believe.

@@BrentAdams Thank you so much teacher and my new friend
@@BrentAdams Hi, I've seen the prices and they are very expensive ...
Do you have any advice for producers here in Europe?
Thanks again.
