August and September Subscriber’s Prize Drawing
Well, we have to make up for a lost month it seems! In my preparation for the Yosemite Flute Festival, I got so distracted that I forgot to set up the August prize drawing! And with September nearly over, we are in danger of missing another. So to make up for my slackness, there will be four separate winners this month! The prizes will be a new creation from Earth Tone Flutes: The Talking FluteTM.
These flutes are meant to be fingered with one hand while the other hand acts as a note-bender. The open holes provide a partial pentatonic scale, and by partially covering the foot of the flute with the other hand, the player can bend notes like a trombone player, providing a full chromatic octave! They are tons of fun and in the hands of a skilled player they can do things that no ordinary flute can do. There are two different “keys” here: C and E, and the woods represented are Black Walnut, Curly Maple and Eastern Red Cedar. I’ll try to get a sound sample online to go with these…
