Claves are constructed of solid hardwoods. You have a choice of "Jotoba", a very hard Brazilian Cherry wood, "Agaia" a very hard South American wood with a silk type look, and "African Mahogany" a dark African hardwood. Agaia and African Mahogany Claves are 9 inches long. The Jotoba Claves are 10 inches long. They consist of two bars, 1.25 and 1.5 inches in diameter. Their sound is rich and far reaching.
Native American Flutes are constructed of sound quality woods. I have had the best tonal success with flutes constructed of Cherry, Cedar, Poplar, and a combination of Poplar and Oak. They usually have a 1" bore, and vary in length depending on the musical Key they are constructed in. The Bird (or Fetish) is a crescent moon shape. I can also make custom designs. Send me a sketch or an idea and I will let you know what my talents will allow. These Flutes are custom made. Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. (One week longer if you included a pyrographic design.)

If you would like a custom design, send me a sketch or an idea, and I will let you know if it is within my talents. Custom Pyrographics is an additional charge as follows:
