A number of people have asked me about the American Indian Flute I play.
It was made by Stephen DeRuby and is his Trail Flute in the key of A.
His web site is www.deruby.com
The long stick one is made by http://fallenbranch.com/ who make very interesting, one of a kind flutes.
The double drone V flute is a High Spirits flute in the key of C.
The middle Eastern sounding flute is by the Fairy Ring Mushroom People. It is tuned normally, but played to sound that way.
