High Spirits Pocket Double Nova Flute (G)
Our Nova double flutes are handcrafted from domestic Spanish Cedar, which gives them a warm, full musical voice.
It is approximately 20.5 cm in length, by 4 cm wide by 2.5 cm deep.
The High Spirits 'Double Nova' Native American flute is a handmade instrument, built by renowned flutemaker Odell Borg. Odell has been making flutes for over 25 years in Arizona. The left hand flute has no fingerholes, it will therefore always play the root note when you decide to blow into both blowing holes at the same time. This will make the flute play a drone, and the right hand flute plays like a normal Native American flute.
