Jera Sweet Chestnut Branch Flute in A

The flute of the song of the harvest, Jera, when autumn winds blow and nuts are full and dreaming.

Hand carved with traditional tools from the bones of a fallen Sweet Chestnut tree foraged from my local woodlands. This flute is tuned to the Key of 432Hz A, singing a very rich and deep yet truthfully clear tune of old with a soft balanced back pressure and a stable fundamental note.

The block is carved from Antler, mounted atop of an end grain Pine foot which wicks away moisture when you play through capillary action. This means that the flute will play for much longer periods of time before 'wetting out' from moisture blocking the windway.

Tied on with leather thong and adorned with Antler beads.

This flute has been coated in multiple layers of a cured natural oil varnish to protect the wood whilst retaining the organic feel of the branch.
