Triple Harmony Drone Flutes
Triple Harmony Drone Flutes are a unique design concept that allows the player a multitude of playable combinations by choosing which holes to plug and which to make playable.
This design was originally developed by Dr. Justin Rollefson who has teamed up with elemental flutes to provide anyone who purchases this flute with free 30 min lesson. The different key options that I offer, from highest to lowest are: A4, A4 and D5 G4, G4 and D5 F#4, F#4 and C#5 F4, F4 and C5 E4, E4 and B4 as pictured above. D4, D4 and A4 Dr. Justin Rollefson Signature 5th Series Keys F#5, F#4, C#5 F5, F4, Bb5 E5, E4, B5 D5, D4, A5 C#5, C#4, F#4 C5, C4, G4 |

Choosing a Wood
|
After selecting a keys and frequency, it is now time to choose your wood. The flute can be made in one single kind of wood or a combination of two or more woods. I source the Hawaiian woods from a friend on Maui - he is a furniture maker and reserves the offcuts (extras) of his projects for my use.
I also use local woods around NC, where I currently live. Hawaiian Woods available include: Koa and Mango. Local Woods include: Maple, Walnut, Camphor and Aromatic Cedar. To get a more information on each type of wood I offer, check out my Woods Page. |
