Native American E Minor Drone Flute By Kuzin Bruce - Tunnel Improvisation #1

[rkng1]

Beautiful. I recently purchased a drone from Jonah Thompson off ebay. The flute has beautiful sound. I have to be careful not to overblow and end up with notes/sounds I don't want. I'm used to playing european flute which requires much more forceful blowing....can't play one anymore due to a cancer surgery. I have many gt-grandmother's who were Native American and this seemed fitting. Keep playing and posting. So beautiful to listen to. -:)

@rkng1 Sincerest thanks for this comment! The Kuzin Bruce Em drone is an effortless flute to play. I've also no doubts that the Jonah Thompson drone you bought will provide soothing, healing sounds with the minimum of breath. All the best to you on your Native American flute journey. You may be surprised by what you learn as you walk the road. ~ Blessings!

That was beautiful. Amazing reverb from the tunnel too, I thought it was an add on after the recording.

Love the sound, I'm looking for a drone flute for my friends birthday, any suggestions on a good place to purchase one online? Thank you, and the music was beautiful, Dawn

@piriajeoshi Dear Bruce, I would also love to see what @a0e0roberts makes with feathers, elk teeth, and 'instruments that hold his attention". The whole process of grace giving birth to grace (which is what happens when you share and others pick it up and makes it their own) makes me smile deeply in my heart and I know the teary feeling all is right in our beautiful world.

Hauntingly beautiful. You call forth the gods and the ancestors dance in the slow loveliness of it all.

Beautiful.

nesecito como fabricar este maravilloso instrumento... es el uniko ke puede apaciguar mi ira y renkor!! si es posible mandar los pasos para poder konstruirlo!!

[piriajeoshi]

@dallgurack Thank you kindly for the great comment! Actually, I didn't make this flute, & I don't have any such flute-making instruction manuals. However, you can try Russ Wolf's book "Flute Shop - A Guide to Crafting the Native American Style Flute" from amazon.com. He shows how to make different NA flutes including a drone flute. Hope this is helpful to you! Peace ~ Bruce

@piriajeoshi how were these made with stone tools?

[piriajeoshi]

@5tonyvvvv These drones are modern creations. I'm not even sure that Native Americans such things at all, but it is certainly possible. As far as carving the wood, I know that some Native Americans used beaver teeth for this job (a guy named Hawk Henries still does to the best of my knowledge). Makes sense when you think about it as the beaver's incisors are perfectly adapted to slice into wood.

[spindlegrinder]

Can you give me instructions on how to make one of these or a link on how to ?

[AzathothianBrew]

Intoxicating resonance!

I wish I had the plans to make a Drone Flute.. I play the flute and really love the sound of the Drone. Beautiful music. Love the video.

Big Hugs from Galiza (Europe). Thanks and congratulations

[TheCherokeeboy]

i wonder how it will sound when you play a irish tune

[a0e0roberts]

You have given me a lot of inspiration. I'm going to find a nice piece of quarter-sawn cedar and build one of these (the only instruments that hold my attention for long are those I build myself). I should send you some fethers or elk teeth to dress your flute up with...

[piriajeoshi]

@a0e0roberts : Well if that isn't one of the nicest comments I've had! You honor me with your words, and I humbly thank you. Please send some pics of the flute when you're finished making it as I love to see what others create. Feathers... elk teeth... hehe.... Bring em' on!

[vladtepesdrac]
