FEATURE No.31: JOSEPH RIVERS FLUTE BY FOREST FLUTES

Joseph Rivers Flute by Forest Flutes aka Thomas Richardson




Joseph Rivers commissioned me to build this flute for him for personal meditation practices and for film score work in the key of G pentatonic major. Made from cured Chinese stone bamboo. Custom mixed staining methods. Brown waxed thread bindings. Concert pitch tuning.

You can play nice sounding musical lines with a simple straight up and down the scale fingering.

The art which is based off of an Etruscan theme. 5 tone holes, with a thumb hole on the bottom like a Japanese flute.

Head out into special nature spots, play near streams and rivers, walk to great acoustical spots in your neighborhood and play your flutes!
