Bwlch Ungwr - Quiet Bear native american flute

Just before Christmas I had a native american flute kit in E from Quiet Bear Flutes after listening to one on Piriajeoshi's channel (thanks Bruce). This is it with a tune I made for it. Bwlch Ungwr (One-man pass) is up on the Preseli mountains above my house, named I think, after this carn.
The flute came as a square piece of wood with the bores made and the fingerholes. All you have to do is shape it and get it into tune by thinning the walls and adjusting some of the holes a little. The wood (Western cedar) is very splintery so shaping was done mostly by sanding. A bit laborious but it does sand quite easy. Nice flute, well worth the $90 it cost plus shipping.

@piriajeoshi Thanks for the nice comments. The patterning on the flute is just cut into it with a craft knife and I rubbed some dark coloured wax into it to make it stand out better. I took the design from a photo of the interior of a tomb in Columbia.
