Coast Live Oak branch
flute
in G# minor pentatonic, modes 1 & 4
Measuring 20 3/4" in
length, the bark has been left on the underside and mouth end of this
unsplit branch flute,
creating a nice
contrast with the finely finished grain. Some of the crevices in
the oak grain have been inlaid with turquoise
and
turquoise nuggets have been added to the bird and to the American Bison
lacing. The value
is somewhat higher on this
branch flute due to the
rarity of finding a straight enough coast live oak
branch that can be bored out unsplit.
The branch was gathered from the wonderful oak woodland at Descanso Gardens.
