Spirit Song Flutes' Online Store

The bamboo flute is our most popular instrument because of it's similarity in playing style to the western silver flute. The bamboo flute is a six holed instrument played held off to the side where the player blows over a tone whole. These flutes have a two to three octave range and are offered in diatonic major scales.

The smaller panpipes are pentatonic and lend themselves to spontaneous improvisation in much the same way as the native american "flute". Spirit Song Flutes panpipes are made from the finest "tea stick" bamboo from South Central China. They are bound with industrial beeswax impregnated nylon cord. The panpipes are capable of very quiet subtle sounds to one of the loudest wind blown instruments, rivaling the bagpipes.

Spirit Song Flutes' panpipes are a hybrid instrument borrowing the best features of the Romanian, Greek, and South American pipes.
