How it’s Made
My flutes are made one at a time and each is unique. The OcariNAfs are made with a single air chamber. The mouth piece and true sound hole is made, then the wood is hollowed out until the lowest (fundamental) note is achieved. Then the finger holes are made. The tuning process takes considerable time, as each hole affects the others. Once the flute is properly tune, the artwork is added. In this case, a channel was cut to insert silver wire to create the inlaid bird image. The flute is sealed inside to prevent moisture damage and finished with a satin lacquer to bring out and protect the beautiful mahogany wood.
