Kid's Minor Sound

 

The Small Minor 11 inches
It was February 1975 and the Coconut Grove Arts Festival was on. The town would soon be buzzing with multitudes but under a tree on this quiet morning at the edge of town was Wallen the flute maker. I studied one of his flutes. “Wallen, why are these holes in such a strange pattern?' Gently holding his hand out to the flute I held, he said, “This is a minor scale! And this is what it sounds like.” The music was beautiful. My thoughts began to race. Some of my experiments in Hawaii sounded a bit like this but this was more complete. These holes are in such a strange position. I bet I could move these two holes over, make them smaller, and it would be a more comfortable instrument. The inspiration for my minor flutes was born.

The Vivaldi Minor 15 1/2 inches
This is one of my favorite flutes with gorgeous, rich tones, this flute seems to be great for creative folks.
I recommend it for improvisation. It reminds me of the Renaissance times.

Going from all fingers down, to all open, and back again will tune your ear to this lovely scale. All closed but first finger up is high do.
