All About Our High Spirits SPIRIT FLUTES
Spirit Flutes are shorter in length than our traditional Native Flutes. By shortening the Spirit Flute's design we've been able to reduce the overall length of the flutes, which make covering the fingering holes easier, especially for those with smaller hands. This is particularly true for the deeper tone flutes, making them accessible to the majority of flute players.
The design of the Spirit Flute mouthpiece is shorter than the mouthpiece on our traditional flutes. Its mouthpiece is approximately 1-1.25 inches in length (from the mouth end to the fipple / rectangular sound hole). The shorter distance minimizes watering out (moisture build-up from the breath), by forcing out the accumulated build-up. This allows for longer continued playing. The compact mouthpiece gives good control of the sound volume and projection (amplitude), providing choices from playing softly. The short distance between the mouth-hole and the fipple (rectangular sound hole) provides the option of creating more back pressure to reach the higher notes more clearly.
Instead of the traditional Native Flute fetish the Spirit Flutes use a flat plate that is permanently adhered to the flute. This gives the flutes a compact profile that is ideal for travel, hiking, backpacking or outdoor activities in general.
In the creation of the new Spirit Flutes, we paid close attention to size and cost. The first goals in creating the Spirit Flutes was to continue providing a great voice and a practical flute size so most adult-sized hands could play. The second intention was “affordability”. With every step in the process we focused on making the Spirit Flutes financially accessible, from new players to experienced flute performers.
Each Spirit Flute will be available in both our Tradition frequency of 440 Hz and our EarthTone frequency of 432 Hz. Flute players are able to choose the musical pitch that fits them best.
