Preservation Signature Migration 'F#' Flute
The Migration is handcrafted from Aromatic Cedar, which we consider to be an exceptional tonal wood that gives the flute's voice a fine balance between warmth and clarity. The flute is also inlaid Turquoise cabochons that reflect the Native American cultural view that like all things in nature have life. This flute is tuned in the key of F♯ minor, which can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of A. It is 22 inches (55 cm) long with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) bore diameter. The original inspiration for our Migration Signature Flute was from the Sandhill Cranes that migrate by their thousands to Southern Arizona each year. During the winter season the Sandhill Cranes come south to enjoy the temperate climate, and the vision of witnessing hundreds of large birds flying and grazing was so awe inspiring. Our Signature Series flutes utilize a unique airflow design that provides exceptional responsiveness and player control, superior amplification, and makes them ideal for a wide range of musical styles. Every Signature Flute is designed to be both a musical instrument as well as a piece of beautiful artwork. Our precision tuning insures that each Signature Flute is easily able to meet the requirements of any musician. Since 1990 High Spirits Flutes has been handcrafting flutes from single piece of wood. We have become adept at the process of choosing planks with natural beauty and turning them into incredible sounding flutes. When you choose one of our flutes we guarantee its high-quality sound, its flawless craftmanship, and one-of-a-kind characteristic of the unique piece of wood that it's crafted from. Our PRESERVATION COLLECTION was developed from our commitment to sustainability in the woodworking process, and our deep respect for the Earth's natural resources. Preservation flutes are different from our regular flute collection because of small imperfections like minor shaping inconsistencies, stone inlay variations, design prototypes, unique wood qualities, or other cosmetic differences, which don't meet the aesthetic perfection of our regular flute line but never compromise their excellent sound quality. Every flute in our Preservation Collection still meets our company's high-quality, American handcrafted, woodwind instrument guarantee, just at a deeply discounted value.
