Spalted Tamarind F#m Flute
One of my more outstanding pieces. This flute is made from Spalted Tamarind (a fruit wood from S.E. Asia). The accents are Red Mallee (Eucalyptus) Burl from Australia and Mun (pronounced "moon") Ebony also from Southeast Asia. The top is inlaid with Turquoise cabochons. This wood came from a Tamarind orchard and was harvested after the tree had lived it's life and laid on the forest floor for some time, hence the spalting which is caused by natural decomposition. Of course, this piece of wood is as solid as can be, so no worries about it's durability.
Not only is this instrument a fine work of art, but an exceptional flute, as well. The tone is big, rich and strong. It plays the extended scale well, too. You can listen to examples of this instrument below. Also, more detailed pictures follow. Measurements at bottom of page.

Dimensions
This flute is slightly longer than a 'regular' F#m flute, hence the direction holes on the 'south end'. Don't let the overall length scare you away. Pay attention to the measurements from the mouthpiece to the top hole and distance to the bottom hole as well as the spacing between the furthest holes on the south end when determining fit for your hands.
Measurements:
- Overall Length=25 1/4"
- Diameter=1 1/2"
- Mouthpiece to First Hole=11 1/2""
- Mouthpiece to Last Hole 17"
- Farthest Hole Spacing (between the last two holes)=1 1/4"
