  • Hey guys! In this video I unbox two new Native American flutes and then i test them out to see how they sound! They are from the company blue bear flutes, One is the Red Eastern Cedar in key of D, and the other is the Cherokee little people flute made of Saw grass. I have such a deep connection to this culture and the Native Flute (I'm told Im a 16th Cherokee) and it has really brought something special and beautiful to my life, as music usually does. So grab a cup of hot tea and enjoy the video.
    Be sure to follow me on instagram @Shes in the Redwoods, and my handmade Jewelry shop on instagram @Stars over Trees Creations where I just posted a crystal give away! Theres still 1 week to enter, and i will be hosting 2 more give aways after that!
    Spread love and light and unity.

    Wow! What an honor to be represented in such a positive video! Blue Bear Flutes is actually located in Alabama. And don't forget, the packaging (paper and peanuts) are biodegradable :)

    My little people flute is finally coming! I ordered it because it honors the little people tradition. I'm so excited to get it. I also talked with Charlie on the phone. Seriously good guy.

    That would be your spirit animal! It’s a bear. Remember there are no coincidences.
    Beautiful music, tone. I love cedar scent. Now for the little flute. It is cute! I like it too but the larger ones are more soothing. Thank you for sharing your music and talent.
    Love it! ♥️

    Elissa, you made the unwrapping of the two Blue Bear flutes fun and informative. I hope Charlie viewed this. I am sure he would be pleased. He probably commented that he's in Alabama, not Arizona. By now you have probably played both flutes many times. 😇😘

    Blue bear flutes are amazing and so are their videos ! You can use your pinky instead of ring finger for the low note on the low D flute, and either major finger or ring finger for the second note

    Hi You know your really lucky to have so many flue makers over there.
    I'll be ordering a flute from Herb Welsh who is Arapaho. He too has some lovely looking flutes.
    The only problem I have is,that we here in UK has to pay customs and handling charges.

    Hi Ellissa.. the bear represents many forms when she comes to us in dreams. You mentioned fear and hiding from her. I interpret that to mean that she is telling you to face your fears or trepidations that you have not resolved in your heart... hence the many visits to you. May I suggest to you when you next journey, and see her, that you face mother bear and ask her to help you understand. I know that YOU know that it is not always WHAT we want to learn buy what we NEED to learn that our power animals will bring.

      @ElissaAce  Před 3 lety +1

      thank you so much, i had a dream just last night that 2 adolescent cubs were chasing me, they cornered me and then did nothing, and then i started to fear if their mother was close behind. I am knee deep in shadow work and am facing fears dead in the face, im happy to say. :)

  • @naiman4535

    If you find the big Low D flute hard to finger, Elissa, you might want to try covering the holes with the middle joints of your middle and index fingers, especially on your lower hand. This is a fingering technique used by players of the Indian transverse bamboo flute, the Bansuri. It can extend your reach.

    Great video! I recently acquired my first spirit flute, a low D drone, and after years playing the flageolet, find it quite a struggle for my stumpy little fingers. One month down the track and only just starting to sound remotely better than a 5 year old learning the recorder 🤣🤣
    One day hopefully. They are such moving instruments
    Thanks for posting

    I appreciate you making this video. Can I suggest that it would be much easier to hear what the flute sounds like without the background music overlapping it. Perhaps during editing, you could drop out the music in the spots where you are playing.

      ive only played 5 holes and 6 holes where on hole is covered, 6 holes gives you an extra notes and more musical opportunities to play. :)

    your video is so funny..
    excuse me because J'm french and J can't understand all what you say.. so you have a H.S. medium red cedar G.. a D blue bare bass and what's about this little cherokee flute ?
    ..are they flutes employed for singing "sun circle" ah nee mah musik ?

  • @naiman4535
    @naiman4535 Před 2 lety

    The little flute is not really of wood. It is made out of River Cane, which grows wild in Alabama, where Blue Bear Flutes is headquartered. Making flutes from River Cane (Arundinaria gigantea) is one of Charlie Mato-Toyela's specialties. River Cane does not grow in the arid deserts of Arizona.

    • @megferguson8035

      He doesn't make the little people flutes out of river cane anymore. I just ordered one, and the one I ordered is poplar.
