Details High Spirits Flutes
Traditional Flutes
There are so many different keys and shapes and woods and styles of traditional flutes. Lots to choose from and use for your own purposes. They all have different style blocks or fetishes, some simple and others complex.
The Native American flute is held in front of the player, has open finger holes, and has two chambers: one for collecting the breath of the player and a second chamber which creates sound. The player breathes into one end of the flute without the need for an embouchure. A block on the outside of the instrument directs the player's breath from the first chamber—called the slow air chamber—into the second chamber—called the sound chamber. The design of a sound hole at the proximal end of the sound chamber causes air from the player's breath to vibrate. This vibration causes a steady resonance of air pressure in the sound chamber that creates sound. Native American flutes comprise a wide range of designs, sizes, and variations—far more varied than most other classes of woodwind instruments. Wikipedia: "Native American flute"

Spirit Flutes
Spirit Flutes are a unique and distinctive type of flute that are completely different from traditional flutes. Instead of a Native American Style Flute fetish, Spirit Flutes have a flat plate permanently fixed to the body of the flute. This gives the flute a compact profile that is ideal for travel, hiking, backpacking, or any other outdoor activities.
432 HZ Flutes
EarthTone 432 Hz Flutes have Rainbow Moonstone cabochon inlays, and a fetish designed to represent a circle of life. EarthTone Flutes Series utilize the 432 Hz tuning frequency for the “A” note, with all the other musical notes aligned accordingly. It's quite a peaceful experience playing 432 Hz flutes.
Signature Flutes
The Signature Series flutes utilize a 1-inch bore size along with a unique airflow design, which provides exceptional responsiveness, precise player control, and superior amplification, all of which make them ideal for a wide range of musicians and musical styles. Every Signature Flute is designed to be both a musical instrument and a beautiful piece of artwork. They are very special "high end" flutes from High Spirits Flutes!
Double Flutes
With a double flute you play the melody on one side and the other side provides the drone in the root note of the flute - it sounds like two people are playing.
Double flutes are made from several wood species and several playing levels from Traditional, Spirit or Signature Series. Nova double flutes are handcrafted from domestic Spanish Cedar, which gives them a warm, musical voice. They can sometimes sound sound like whistles and whistling.
Beginner's Flutes
The most important element in picking your first flute is choosing one that fits your fingers and finger size. A flute that is easier to play is played more and enjoyed more. This will allow the learning process to be easy, smooth, and fun. Using High Spirits free instructional videos and free how-to-play booklet definitely help. Several players like smaller flutes for beginners. Many recommend the key of A or G flutes for warmer, lower sounds. Try some flutes out at Creativity Tones!
