The Walking Flute

Not only a flute not only a staff, it's a Stafflutie!

Since 1970 I have been building walking sticks that can play.

Started with the soft cane in Guatemala and continued with a 3 flute staff sold at the renaissance faires in the 1980's and 90's.
Lately, due to the interest from a recent movie I have been making an Oriental flute in the mid piece of a staff.
It is a side blown flute so you have to press and roll and pretend you are spitting out watermelon seeds from a relaxed grin to get a sound.
It is also a pentatonic scale and sounds rich, mellow and enchanting.
Inspired from an ancient Japanese flute called the Shaquhachi.

Hear it now

The Walking Flute is tuned by ear. I have made over 100.000 flutes in my 34 years of flutemaking. It comes in 4 finishes.

See Collectors Edition

To purchase a concert tuned one using an electronic tuner, I have to build many before one comes out Perfect pitch in D at the universal standard of A440:

Natural Concert: 130.00
Starry Night Concert: 230.00
Dark & Carved Concert: 230.00

Erik,
I received the flute yesterday, and was amazed! Your work was
excellent, and this is easily something I consider of heirloom quality. Already I'm teaching myself how to play, and the staff flute feels natural in my hands. The carving work was excellently done as well. Thank you very much for not only a quality product, but one that feels as though it is a master craftsman's work of pride.
Sincerely, Will Phoenix
