Flutes have been a portion of Native American culture for thousands of years, and it is a tradition that goes on today. The construction material for a Native American flute is wood. Cedar, redwood, and juniper are the preferent selections of wood for making flutes, however, pine is likewise a wood of choice.

Many Indian flutes have totemic or fetish animals attached to them. Some of these fetish animals are carved right into the body of the flute while others are merely tied on with sinew. Some of the spirit of the peculiar animal is believed to be present in the music of the flute, too. Some of the most ordinary animal fetishes placed on flutes would be a turtle, eagle or hawk. The intimate bear might sit on the end of yet another flute. Each flute becomes a cherished item with a touch of individuality brought forth by the animal fetish.

Why not?
By Ibrahim Atakan Kubilay
I think it’s a good value for your collection. As for playing, I have just begun learning the fife and I cannot actually comment on it is quality of playing etc, but for the price it’s a pretty decent gift or collectible.

It arrived very robustly packaged, and in good shape.
