@lMusicAndMadnessl while I agree with you somewhat I (being a flute maker and player) find that it is most desirable to play near caves and high cliffs in the canyons of Utah and northern Az. for the "reverb" and echoes. The reason a flute maker would add reverb to the flute would be to show a perspective buyer what the flute would sound like recorded..

Erik, where is this flute at? Is there a way I can check it out, like is there more info on it, like length, scale, etc.what museum is it at please? Very interesting, the California Flutes are the same thing.Just me being an indigenous purist in some senses I prefer to leave the indigenous mouthpiece as it is...if it's hard for someone to learn, I always say to my students "then learn it" and learn to appreciate the "real" way of doing, the way the ancestors did.but what you've done is nice too
Well, native American tribes differ in many things including music. I don' think it would be a waste to get a flute from another tribe. Music is a great way to connect with culture.
The Anasazi flute differs in two ways compared to most contemporary "Native American style" flutes. First, it is not a two-chambered duct flute with block and fipple - it's actually one of the harder flutes to play, a rim blown. Second, the scale is quite different, not the minor pentatonic. It would be a VERY different flute to own. Erik has put the Anasazi scale on a Kiowa-style design. Stephen DeRuby has designed an easy version to play also, which uses a fipple WITH a rim blown like edge.
I don't have the Anasazi flute but I have his Native American Flute, and I try to use the back of my throat to push the air in a thin laser like airstream also I try to keep my mouth as closed as possible. The main thing I try to do is use the solar plexus to push the air. I hope that helps.
Amazing flute Erik. Thank you again so much for mine. I have enjoyed playing it and find it wonderful for just relaxing and meditating while playing. Best flute I've bought so far. Thanks again..
Very impressive commercial. You are a likable man. Your teaching presentation is very palatable. You are truly a wonderful talent. Thank-you for this lesson and wonderful song.

How do you get the reverb out in the field? Is this added after the recording? Not sure how this is done.
Thank you.

How did he get above the octave? The only way I can do that on mine is blow harder, but all that does is cause it to screech. :(
