This Medicine Wind bamboo flute is made by hand in Florida, USA by George Tortorelli, a flute maker with over 35 years of experience.

 It is played like a western flute, blown from the side and held horizontally. Everything you play will have a very eastern / arabian melodic character to it because of the way it is tuned.

This flute is very similar to the Large Arabian Flute that Erik the Flutemaker makes.

How to play this flute?

  • Aim your airflow against the edge of the embouchure hole
  • This requires some practice and patience
  • The flute is held horizontally, this too requires some practice
  • There's 6 fingerholes on top, and no thumbhole on the back
  • Cover the holes with the pad of the fingers, not the fingertips

The musical possibilities

  • You can play in various keys and scales
  • It is also possible to play notes outside of these scales
  • This is done by half-covering fingerholes
  • The flute has a reach of 2 octaves
