Drone — Key of D
Tone — Low (not quite a bass)
Scale — Minor pentatonic (standard flute)
Our low D flute is much deeper and has a lower sound than many flutes. It has an absolutely beautiful and powerful tone, and is more appropriate for sound healing or ceremony style playing. This flute key has larger holes and hold spacing, meaning that this flute is more challenging to play, especially for people with moderate to smaller sized hands.
This is a drone style Native American inspired flute with two chambers that create a rich drone harmony beneath the main flute voice. The added drone makes the sound more dynamic and engaging, giving the flute a fuller presence and a sense of movement that many players find especially fun and inspiring to play.
It's not quite a bass flute, but it's not too far off either. The key of D plays easily with many other instruments.
These flutes are heavier and notably larger compared with a more standard sized drone flute like our F#. These flutes are no small thing, but not crazy large either! A sacred instrument that creates soulful sounds.
We are able to create unique, rhythmic, and percussive sounds with these larger flutes as well. They have more air volume which allows for different types of sounds.
