Folk instruments
Wind & Ceremonial
Two distinct traditions in one collection. The Native American style flutes and the Systrum by Tahya share a category in our catalog because both are designed for ceremonial, contemplative, and personal playing rather than for performance ensemble. The
traditions and the instruments themselves are entirely different.
Native American style flutes, two voices. Our Native American style flute models offer two voicings: one with satinwood and one with rosewood, both producing their unique tones. Hand-shaped wood bodies, traditional block-and-flue construction.
The Systrum by Tahya is its own instrument. Designed by drum and movement artist Tahya, the Systrum is a hand-held frame instrument inspired by ancient Egyptian ceremonial instruments. It is shaken, not played in the conventional sense, and produces a distinctive metallic sound that suits movement, ritual, and meditative
settings.
Built for personal playin. These are instruments for the player, for ceremony, and for personal practice.
