Our cane flutes are made from native river cane or bamboo. Being native grown, lets our flutes grow and shape as nature intended. Our flutes will have natural bends, dents and a patina that nature it self has provided. This makes each flute a unique one of a kind hand crafted item. Your flute may arrive with a bend or dent in the cane, just as we cut it in the wilderness. Your flute will arrive as depicted in the photograph for your flute. We hope you enjoy your flute in all its native splendor.
