This 22-inch satinwood version is end-blown, six-holed, and built in two parts: a pipe body and a sliding bird block that you nudge forward or back to shape the pitch. It is not made to be concert-tuned. It is made to be in tune with itself, and that is exactly what gives this style of flute its calm, unhurried voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav\"\u003e\n  \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn active\" data-panel=\"naflc-sound\"\u003eSound\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"naflc-design\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"naflc-start\"\u003eGetting Started\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav-row2\"\u003e\n  \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"naflc-specs\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"naflc-box\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper open\" id=\"naflc-sound\" style=\"max-height:600px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eBright, Airy, Unmistakable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTuned to F, with a lowest note of F# when all holes are covered, the Satinwood flute produces a bright, clear voice with the open, ethereal quality the style is known for.

Its lighter density gives the flute a brighter, more treble-forward voice compared to denser rosewoods.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"naflc-design\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eThe Bird Block Is Where the Magic Happens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe flute is built in two pieces: the pipe body and the bird (or saddle block) that sits across the top opening. Sliding the bird forward sharpens the pitch. Sliding it backward flattens it. This is how the instrument is fine-tuned, by hand, by ear, in the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJust be careful not to slide the bird far enough to close off the opening completely. Air needs room to move across the edge to produce the tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eWhy two parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e The separate bird block is the defining feature of the Native American style flute. It gives you expressive control you cannot get from a fixed-mouthpiece flute, and it makes each instrument slightly different in character.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"naflc-start\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eEasier to Play Than You Might Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf you have never played a wind instrument, this is a kind place to start. Blow gently across the top opening. No embouchure, no buzzing, no tight lips. Cover all six holes with your fingertips and you will hear F#, the flute's lowest note. Lift one hole at a time to climb the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThere is no wrong melody. The tradition this instrument draws from treats the flute as personal and inspirational. You play what feels right, and the flute's \"in tune with itself\" design means it will sound whole no matter where you land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eNew to flute?\u003c\/strong\u003e Start with soft, steady breath.
