This is a tune I wrote called Grant Us Love. Here is the simple melody played on 7-string pentatonic lyre, both plucked and with Pickaso Guitar Bow.
Tuning: D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, D5. Note: If you play the melody without harmony, you can play in the standard G major pentatonic tuning of D4, E4, G4, A4, B4, D5, E5.
Arrangement on 16-string solid body lyre.
Double strung arrangement on 2 19-string acoustic lyres.
Falling, fading fast
Probe the dark for what remains
Light still burns within
Flute: Nova Double Flute in A Minor
+ Sun and Moon Egg of Creation Shaker, Deerskin frame drum, Harmony Ball Pendant

The double I wanted in the first place, this A minor flute is lower than the hummingbird. It has a feather engraving and requires much more breath to play. This means playing shorter phrases and taking more frequent breaths. While I chose the hummingbird for its engraving and symbolism, this one is more practical for me. I play more in A minor and C major, which are very accessible keys on this flute. Having said that, these Nova Double Flutes are beautiful, and each has its place!
