Bamboo flutes tuned in 432hz, the healing frequency.
Each one is hand made, stained and oiled.
They are very fun to play and easy to master.
Playing flute will relax the player, ease stress, and it builds life force energy...
15 mins of play is like gaining 1 hour sleep energy.
Meditative flutes are known to reduce stress........ this also helps one remove disease as stress is known to increase the possibility of disease.
HERE is a link to what they sound like, sound will vary from flute to flute due to thickness, yet with in reason they will all sound the same as the link.

This video does not represent the flute you will receive, the flutes here are for beginners and well made, many shakuhachi are thousands of dollars.
The video is just to demo what the basics of shakuhachi sound like.
Usually I pick the best sounding, playing, and best looking one to send to the new owner.
If you wish to pick a flute from a photo, I can send photos of current stock. Posted photos are an example of what they can look like.
Actual item sent will vary in the appearance.
These are professionally made, wonderful sounding and low priced for the amount of time put into them.
Woodwinds need protection from the elements, please be sure to select the case option. Weather can damage bamboo if it moves from hot to cold to fast.
This auction is for 1 flute shown in the photos yet I have many other bamboo flutes and PVC styles that are available. See my other listings for PVC flutes that cost less.
Please contact me before or after purchase if you want to hand select the flute!
Thank you!
A little extra info about flutes and their relaxation and healing properties.
Imagine yourself living some 40,000 years ago. You are sitting in a cave. As you glance at those seated next to you, you see you are part of a circle. Filled with feelings of reverence in your collective union with the Divine, you are here for a special purpose. The ceremony begins. Someone takes out what appears to be a simple piece of bone and puts it to their lips. Lifting one finger at a time, a haunting melody pours forth. This sacred song, played on a primitive flute, takes on the voice of the All Knowing. Those who hear its powerful sound are transported, connected to something greater than themselves. Wisdom is shared. Decisions are made. Prayers are answered.
Centuries ago almost every world culture used the flute for ritual, healing, education and entertainment. One of the most ancient of instruments, its evocative sound was so powerful the Spaniards forbade the indigenous peoples of South America to play it lest it hinder the conquest of their land.
The flute has motivated, inspired and uplifted. It has built community, honored beginnings and endings and sent prayers to the Gods. Plato taught his students about its healing power, and the ancient Toltecs had university classes devoted to the study of this instrument's sounds. Historians tell us particular attention was given to specific scales, as well as the intervals between each note. The combinations of specific notes or frequencies, especially that of the pentatonic (five-note) scale, were cited as being especially powerful. These findings have provided a theoretical basis from which many of today's sound healing and music therapy practices have been devised.
What makes this particular instrument so powerful, so moving? Some say the sound of the flute is closest to that of the human voice, that it bypasses the conscious mind more effectively than other instruments. This factor may account for its popularity and for what is often witnessed as an immediate positive response on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. It induces a deep state of relaxation, and the results documented include: a decrease in stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, and depression, as well as an increase in vitality, clarity and a strengthening of one's connection to the Divine.
Whether wood, reed, clay or bamboo, the energy of the material with which the flute is made is an important factor. We also know from ancient visual depictions of flutes and flute players, flute lore and legends, these instruments were regarded as powerful sacred tools. Thus, the power associated with the flute's particular ritualistic use is a significant contribution.
The personal energy of the flute maker as well as that of the flute player must also be taken into account. It is through the breath that the life force energy is most purely transcribed, powerfully benefiting both player and listener. In many tribes, the shaman or medicine man was also a musician. Treatment remedies included the playing of traditional songs as well as those "channeled" or intuited for the particular mental, physical, emotional or spiritual ailment.
Virtually every country and culture has one or more indigenous flutes. Today, we still see flutes made in the tradition of these ancient instruments. The original notes, designs, and beautiful carvings and colors have remained. The individual voices of each flute are a passport and connection to the soul of a culture. We are truly fortunate to have so many opportunities to experience the benefits inherent in the legacy of such a powerful healing tradition.
You can bring the healing power of the flute into your life now. We are in the middle of a resurgence of this ancient healing art and resources abound. Internet and library searches will provide you with several good recordings, articles, books, videos, workshops and conferences. Consider going on your own listening tour. Survey the flute recordings available and note which you are most responsive to. Pay particular attention to the effect on your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states. You might also consider learning to play the instrument yourself. It's fun and easy and you will be able to experience additional healing benefits, on more levels. A quick way to get started is to begin with a Native North or South American flute, or try an Eastern Indian end-blown flute. They are all readily available, nominally priced and fairly easy to play. Enjoy the journey!
