Double Eagle F# - Spanish Cedar with Drone Holes

Our Double Eagle flute in the key of "F♯" minor is handcrafted in the mountains of southern Arizona from domestic Spanish Cedar wood. Spanish Cedar is a softwood, which gives woodwind instruments a musical voice that is melodic, resonant, and tonally warm. It is also features decorative black Onyx stone inlay cabochons.

Double Flutes are as easy to play as the Single Flutes, they take just a little bit more breath. Double Flutes have two mouthpieces so you can play it as a double flute or a single flute instantly, without adjustments.

With a double flute you play the melody on one side and the other side provides the drone in the root note of the flute - it sounds like two people are playing. This flute is tuned in the key of "F#" minor and can also be played in the relative major diatonic key of "A".

The Double Eagle 'F#' - Spanish Cedar Flute features black leather ties that secure the flute's ebonized Walnut wood fetish to the body of the flute, and a leather hole cover.

This is a six hole flute, which includes a leather hole cover that can optionally be used to cover the third hole from the top, as seen in the product's images. Covering the third hole from the top makes the flute easier to learn to play. The leather hole cover can easily be untied and removed, giving the flute player the option of playing the instrument as either a five hole flute or a six hole flute.

This flute is approximately 24 inches (59 cm) long x 8 inches (19 cm) wide.

Each flute includes a FREE printed instructional booklet with fingering charts as well as an overview of the FREE High Spirits digital library and YouTube channel, filled with an extensive collection of 'how to play' videos, including new player flute lessons, instruction for intermediate & advanced players, as well as a wide range of videos focused on tips and techniques for understanding and mastering the High Spirit flutes.
