＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜span＞Welcome to Heart Radiance Flutes! I'm Thomas Heikes, and I make every instrument in my lineup entirely by hand in my small workshop in Krestova, British Columbia, selecting the wood, shaping the body, and setting every stone myself, with healing intention as the foundation of everything I do. ＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜div class="video-embed youtube-embed"＞＜iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8ACMhgwLQyU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" title="YouTube video" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"＞＜/iframe＞＜/div＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜b＞＜strong class="editor-bold"＞About This Flute＜/strong＞＜/b＞＜br＞＜span＞This is a two-chamber Native American style wooden drone flute in the key of F#, tuned to 440 Hz. It comes with a custom handmade flute bag. 2025 batch, F# drone, #10. The stone inlays are sea opalite, lapis lazuli (whole stone), blue turquoise, and mother of pearl.＜/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＞While drone flutes are naturally a bit more challenging to play, I've intentionally designed this model to be accessible for beginners. The finger holes are sized and spaced so that most hands can play comfortably, making this an excellent first step into the world of drone flutes.＜/span＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph"＞＜br＞＜/p＞＜p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"＞＜span＞The key of F# is often associated with the heart center, and this flute carries a centered, grounded tone that feels warm and balanced, neither sharp nor overly deep. The layered drone adds harmonic beauty and depth while remaining easy to explore and expressive from the very first notes. Ideal for beginners ready to step into a fuller sound, and deeply satisfying for experienced players as well.＜/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.
