Simple Elegance – Ironwood NAF Flute

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Timothy Jennings

NEW Ironwood NAF Flute – Key of F# – Tuned to 432Hz

Ironwood is an exceptionally hard wood to work with. Because of the density these flutes are quit a bit heavier in weight and the sound that is produced tends to be brighter in our opinion. Ironwood is extremely troublesome to get a really nice finish to as well. But they are beautiful to look at and they play very nice. Because of the difficulty in working with this beautiful wood these flutes are simply more expensive to produce. If I had to describe the look and feel of one of our Ironwood flutes I would say “Simple Elegance”.

This particular flute is a really nice flute and there is still time to add some accents of your choice. Tuned to the Key of F# at 432Hz (True Pitch) this Native American five hole flute is truly pleasing to the ear. This flute is a fairly long flute coming in at 25 inches in length and features a 7/8″ flute bore. The cutting edge is built into the body of the flute and is not an inlay. The flute body features the four winds tuning holes which helped us keep its long sleek shape. The fetish on this flute is made from a piece of Bubinga finished to a high smooth gloss and this fetish is a new style for us.. The fetish is tied on using our hand cut Buffalo leather lace, color is buckskin.

This flute like all of our flutes was hand planed to achieve its signature shape. There are many extra hours in hand sanding to achieve the smooth final finish that makes this such a beautiful piece to hole. Finished with more than 20+ light coats of high gloss lacquer. The inside of the flute bore and slow air chamber have also been sealed with many coats of finish to help prevent moisture absorption. The tonal quality of this flute is in the mid range and it is very easy to play and very forgiving. This flute feels really nice in your hands and the color of this particular piece of Ironwood is almost black in color.

It is rare that we get Ironwood that is so dark in color and consistent in the shades throughout. If you click on any of the pictures above you can view a larger image of this flute. I want to say here that these pictures do not do this flute justice in our opinion. All flutes ship with a hand crafted flute bag to protect the flute. Shipping is in addition to the price of the flute. If you have questions call us at (619) 435-6700 or send us an email at sales@tetonmarketing.com. This flute is available for $355.00 plus shipping.

Another Port Orford Cedar Native American Flute Ready For A Home…

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Timothy Jennings

New Port Orford Cedar Flute Special $210 + Shipping

Several times over the past months we have hand crafted a smaller Native American Flute that is greatly suited for carrying with you in your backpack when you hike into the back country. The last NAF flute we made in this size was crafted from a reclaimed piece of Hawaiian Koa and it was really a cool flute and found a home right here in Wyoming. So we decided to make a new one and this time the wood of choice was from a piece of Old Growth Port Orford Cedar.

This flute was crafted from a single piece of wood and the flute is 21 inches overall length and it features a 3/4 inch bore. This is a five hole NAF flute tuned to the key of A at 440Hz and features the Four Winds tuning holes. The cutting edge is crafted from a single piece of inlaid walnut which provides a very nice color contrast between the woods. This flute was tuned at an altitude of 6400 feet and a temperature of approximately 65 degrees. The fetish was crafted from the same stock of wood and it is our Otter styled design. The fetish is attached to the flute body with a single piece of hand cut Buffalo hide lace, black in color.

This flute like all of our flutes was hand planed to achieve its signature shape. Although this flute does not feature any added accents it is a beautiful little flute and it plays beautifully. The body of the flute is finished with more than 20+ light coats of high gloss lacquer. The inside of the flute bore and slow air chamber were also sealed with many coats of finish to help prevent moisture absorption. Small enough to put into most any backpack you can take it on the trail with you, in your car, on your bike… this is a really nice flute.

Port Orford Cedar not only makes for a great sounding flute but as you can see from these pictures it also produces simple elegance. All flutes ship with a hand crafted flute bag to help protect your flute. Shipping is in addition to the price of the flute and we prefer to ship our flutes via FEDEX. We do not mass produce these flutes and these backpacker style flutes are truly one of a kind. Each flute is signed by Timothy Jennings, the artist and the key of the flute is imprinted on the body next to the signature.

If you are interested in purchasing the flute please call us at (619) 435-6700 and ask for Tim. If you have question feel free to email us at sales@tetonmarketing.com and put “307 POC Flute Ironwood Bird” in the subject line of the email.

Like all of our hand crafted flutes we hand plane the flute to its final shape giving it our signature look.

Custom Made To Order Eagle Flute…

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Timothy Jennings

From time to time we like to highlight some of the custom flutes we have made for other customers and sometimes we make one that we just simply love. This is the case about the flute we are highlighting here. This was a custom ordered flute and the original owner lives in Coronado California and this individual wanted a flute that would make a statement in his home. Because of his love for Birds of Prey we designed the flute and fetish you see here. We like this flute so much that we want to offer it as a custom-made to order flute.

This flute is crafted from Old Growth Walnut and currently we have some really nice blanks in stock. The bore in this flute is a tapered, oval-shaped bore and the designer of this is our son Brock Jennings. We call flutes with this type of bore the Brock Jennings Signature flute. A large flute by normal standards this was a low D flute when tuned. We tuned it to 440Hz but you can order one tuned to 432Hz (true pitch) if you prefer. Personally we like the 432Hz flutes as they seem to be more desirable when played by the human ear. But it makes it hard to play with other instruments because of this.

The overall length of this flute when finished was almost 30″ and was a very impressive flute by any standard. The body of the flute featured the Four Winds Tuning Hole and it had 3 oval cabochons that we hand set into the body of the flute. The flute featured our signature “3 Feathers” that hang from the center of the body. The lace on this flute was deer skin but you can order it with hand cut Elk or Buffalo as well. Finished with 20+ light coats of finish and then hand rubbed to a satin sheen.

The bird or fetish represents an eagle or bird of prey and it was made from the same Old Growth Walnut stock. The white base that the bird sits on is also walnut and the entire bird was crafted from a single piece of select stock. Most people who saw this flute finished did not know the base was from the same piece of walnut because of the color differences. This bird takes a while to craft but it is well worth it. Finally we like to hang glass Crow Beads from the ends of the leather accent lace giving the braided lace area a finished look. Overall this is an awesome flute and when ordered you can customize much of it to your liking. But we like this flute just the way it was made!

Award Winning Design

What Does It Cost?…

The short answer is $975.00 plus shipping. The longer answer is that the price could vary depending on changes you make. The price point is certainly higher than our new “307 Flute Line” but our custom flutes are completely hand crafted and made by Award Winning Artist Timothy Jennings and then hand tuned their son Brock Jennings. This flute design was part of the Award Winning Blue Ribbon at the Western Design Conference this summer (2011) held in Jackson Hole Wyoming. The Sonny Tuttle Spirit Award was given to Teton Marketing for the Juried portion of the show. This exact flute was part of nine other flutes that were entered into the show.

One Of A Kind…

Because this is not one of our regular made flutes it truly is a “One Of A Kind” flute. No two flutes with this design are the same. Each one will have subtle differences when complete. The over all finish of this flute is Gallery Quality and when you play it, it will bring a smile to your face. Feel free to browse our website at www.tetonmarketing.com and see if you find something you like. As always if you have questions or your want to discuss this flute for yourself email us at “sales@tetonmarketing.com” and please put in the subject line “Custom Made To Order Eagle Flute”.
