So Peruvian huangana negra is the material used for
this G#m instrument, as it remains one of my favorite tone woods, I continue to
be the only builder on earth using this material, and it is not the most
cooperative in terms of its willingness to become a flute. The fetish block is
not a bird. It is a theme I dreamed up years ago, entitled “Fight or Flight”
wherein one horse is willing to charge into battle, while the other, head
lowered, runs from conflict. It is a perfect example of why I continue to
prefer carving birds. Additional materials include Australian boulder opal,
Mexican fire opal, Mexican crazy lace agate, spiny oyster, hematite, African
garnet, rainbow topaz, turquoise, and abalone. Additional woods include SE
Asian thuya burl, box elder burl, yew, mappa burl, quilted maple and Hawaiian
koa. I encourage you to visit my website, WWW.Querenciawoodwinds.com to see
exact dimensions of these native American style flutes. You will see a detailed
accounting of materials, their placement, and be able to listen to a sound file
of each posted instrument. Perhaps you will want to make a purchase. I
encourage your comments and concerns… Play nice, and continue to play safe.
