It is minor and visible in the photos. This slight imperfection is the reason for the discounted price. The flute still plays beautifully and sounds fully as intended.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜b＞＜strong class="editor-bold"＞Flute Woods＜/strong＞＜/b＞＜br＞＜span＞I craft this flute from carefully selected woods: a western red cedar body for warmth and resonance, black walnut at the tip and bottom for strength and balance, and a maple cap secured with genuine deer hide leather ties.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜b＞＜strong class="editor-bold"＞Flute Finish＜/strong＞＜/b＞＜br＞＜span＞I seal all my flutes with a highly durable, food-safe finish designed to last a lifetime with no maintenance required. I use the highest-quality protective coating I can apply, carefully crafted to provide deep, lasting protection. Though it requires extra care in application, this finish allows the wood's voice to remain clear, vibrant, and full, setting these flutes apart with both durability and exceptional sound.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜b＞＜strong class="editor-bold"＞Flute Type & Key＜/strong＞＜/b＞＜br＞＜span＞This is a drone style Native American inspired flute with two chambers that create a rich drone harmony beneath the main flute voice. The added drone makes the sound more dynamic and engaging, giving the flute a fuller presence and a sense of movement that many players find especially fun and inspiring to play.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜span＞This flute is in the key of D minor pentatonic. This lower D flute is much deeper and has a lower sound than many of my other flutes. It has an absolutely beautiful and powerful tone, and is best suited to sound healing or ceremony style playing. These flutes are heavier and larger compared with my standard sized drone flutes, which are typically F#. The larger body means bigger holes and wider spacing, which makes this flute a bit more challenging to play, especially for people with moderate to smaller sized hands. It is not quite a bass flute, but it is not too far off either. D plays easily alongside many other instruments.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜b＞＜strong class="editor-bold"＞About Heart Radiance Flutes＜/strong＞＜/b＞＜br＞＜span＞Every single aspect of my flutes I craft from the very beginning with the deepest intention of infusing love and healing into them.
