Photos of Where I Live & Work

Have you ever heard one of these? The sound is Incredible! It's like having your own choir. This flute plays two notes at the same time. Actually, you can control whether you play one or both. You can see a photo of the mouthpiece style at the bottom of this page. One side of the flute (the one with all the holes) plays the melody while the other side plays a constant note which is the tonic, or fundamental, of the scale. This note harmonizes with all the other notes on this flute to create the most amazing sound. Left-Handed versions available at no extra charge. Call to request, 888-778-3688. Click on any of the flutes to get more details.

Above you see a Curly Bird's Eye Maple Drone flute in F#.  The birds are made of Cedar. It has the dual mouthpiece which makes it easy to change from a drone to a single flute while playing. The sound is rich and the wood is extremely beautiful.

Eastern Aromatic Cedar Drone. Available in all keys. Each flute is different. I use only hand-select wood.

All keys are available in Birds-Eye Maple and Eastern Aromatic Cedar.

Bubinga (above) is available in F#m & Gm. Bubinga is an African Rosewood. The only thing I've done for the finish is to varnish this piece. This wood is naturally this gorgeous. This is a piece of quarter-sawn bee's wings Bubinga. There is nothing else like it. It is a hard, heavy wood and has a brilliant timbre.

Be advised the D Drone is big. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. crowflutes@aol.com

If you want to hear the how the different drones sound, click on the Key Signature i.e.  F#m  just in front of the price. This will hook you up with the sound file which your media player should be able to stream for you. (Don't have a Gm sound file, yet.)

Order Drone from this site with my order form. You can specify the flute you want at the bottom of the order form as the Drones are not actually in the form as a selection. Don't worry, I'll see your request.

Pictured, you see the unique mouthpiece which facilitates changing from playing the double to playing as a solo flute. The raised portion plays the melody section of the flute. A good customer and friend suggested this shape to me. I have found that it is easier to play the melody side with confidence as a solo instrument and less chance of adding the drone when I wish to leave the drone side mute. When I wish to add the drone, it's a simple and quick matter to adjust the airflow into the second hole. The shape of the mouthpiece is basically the same on all the drone flutes.
