New Flute model : The Namasté Flute!

The latest flute to come out of the shop, the Namasté flute. This flute is tuned so that the scale made by lifting successive fingers is an East Indian raga scale. The notes, beginning on E above middle C are: e, f, g#, a b c d#, e. The flute overblows into the next octave and is very exotic. This scale is said to be the favorite of the Hindu deity, Shiva and is normally played in the morning. I will post a video of the sound as soon as I can.
