This is a large bass flute with a very deep and beautiful musical voice but because of its size (fingering holes and flute diameter) we highly recommended it for those with large hands and/or wide fingers. It's length is approximately 27-inches (69 cm.)
In yogic philosophy, the Root Chakra (located at the base of the spine) is associated with the musical note of ‘C’, the color Red, the element of Earth; it is the first chakra known as Muladhara. It is considered the body’s energetic center for feelings of safety, security, and for grounding one's physical energy.
For most of the 20th century most musical instruments have been tuned to Concert Pitch, which is the ‘A’ note tuned to 440 Hz. Recently there has been an interest in revival frequencies for musical instruments. We developed our 432 Hz series to expand our tuning frequency options. To achieve this, we use a 432 Hz frequency for the note of ‘A’ and align all other notes accordingly. The tonal, 8 Hz difference between a flute tuned to 432 Hz versus 440 Hz is subtle yet it is the frequency of the sound waves, which are considered more significant. The tuning frequency of 432 Hz is often associated with musical instruments used in the field of sound healing.
For foundational harmony we recommend 432 Hz flute be played with other flutes in the same frequency rather than with those tuned to 440 Hz.
