Hovering in place
Flitting swiftly on its way
Tasting sweet nectar

I don’t usually prefer high tone flutes, especially double or drone flutes, as they can be shrill and overpowering. I also wouldn’t choose the key of C minor, or Eb major, for that matter. But the beautiful hummingbird engraving on this one… well, the rest is history!

This flute has 2 chambers, so you’re truly playing 2 flutes at the same time if you play both sides. The right side has 6 holes to play melody. The left side has no holes and plays the C in this case, the lowest note of the flute. They are fascinating, haunting flutes, but they do take more air than playing a single flute!
