This Native American style flute is made of two strikingly attractive African hardwoods. It is the most popular flute that I make. The tonal quality of a flute made in these two medium dense hardwoods tends to be on the mellow side. The flute is also lighter in weight than the flutes made of denser wood like purpleheart and bubinga. Because zebrawood is so expensive the price is a little higher than the other Craftsman Love flutes.
