End Blown Anasazi
This is a 24 inch deep and mellow, mysterious end blown flute. Plays well in 1 1/2 octaves and recommended for a large hand span. History: The Anasazi Flute is inspired by 2 flutes found bound together in a Pueblo cliff dwelling in 1931 by a man looking for pottery to sell to museums. The 2 end blown flutes were found under a rock in one of the homes tied together with yucca rope. It is dated to be from 624 AD and now rests in the Arizona State Museum in Tucson. In the 1950's the flute was studied and the scale published. I have taken liberty to make it with the Andean Quena mouth-piece which is easier to play than the original "Rim Blown Flute" like the Ney. Once in a while I ponder this flute and its personality and think about the pueblo peoples disappearing and moving somewhere else but the flutes remained behind hidden for hundreds of years. This flute seems to have a yearning in its music almost a calling to be with her people again. These flutes are finished Natural and Dark w
