Have you ever heard one of these? The sound is Incredible! It's like having
your own choir. This flute plays two notes at the same time. Actually, you can
control whether you play one or both. You can see a photo of the mouthpiece
style at
the bottom of this page. One side of the flute (the one with all
the holes) plays the melody while the other side plays a constant note which is
the tonic, or fundamental, of the scale. This note harmonizes with all the other notes
on this flute to create the most amazing sound. Left-Handed versions available
at no extra charge. Call to request, 888-778-3688. Click on any of the flutes to
get more details.
Pictured above is a Bubinga Drone with Single Inlay in F#. Click on the flute
to hear and see more detail. (The photos are quite detailed and may take extra
time to download if you don't have a fast internet connection.)

Above you see a Curly Bird's Eye Maple Drone flute in F#. The birds are
made of Cedar. It has the dual mouthpiece which makes it easy to change from a
drone to a single flute while playing. The sound is rich and the wood is extremely beautiful.
Eastern Aromatic Cedar Drone. Available in all keys. Each flute is different.
I use only hand-select wood.
All keys are available in Birds-Eye Maple and Eastern Aromatic Cedar.
Bubinga (above) is available in F#m & Gm. Bubinga is an African Rosewood.
The only thing I've done for the finish is to varnish this piece. This wood is naturally this
gorgeous. This is a piece of quarter-sawn bee's wings Bubinga. There is nothing
else like it. It is a hard, heavy wood and has a brilliant timbre.
Be advised the D Drone is big. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to
answer them. crowflutes@aol.com
If you want to hear the how the different drones sound, click on the Key
Signature i.e.
F#m
just in front of the price. This will hook you up with the sound file which your media
player should be able to stream for you. (Don't have a Gm sound file, yet.)
Order Drone from this
site with my order form. You can specify
the flute you want at the bottom of the order form as the Drones are not
actually in the form as a selection. Don't worry, I'll see your request.
Pictured,
you see the unique mouthpiece which facilitates changing from playing the double
to playing as a solo flute. The raised portion plays the melody section of the
flute. A good customer and friend suggested this shape to me. I have found that
it is easier to play the melody side with confidence as a solo instrument and
less chance of adding the drone when I wish to leave the drone side mute. When I
wish to add the drone, it's a simple and quick matter to adjust the airflow into
the second hole. The
shape of the mouthpiece is basically the same on all the drone flutes.
