Native American flute is very intuitive to play and create melodies, without the need for musical theory. With practice and some tricks we learn quickly. Ideal during rapes and shaman medicine of the Amazon rainforest, ideal for meditation and to be accompanied by a shaman drum. A flute made of soft cedar wood, they thought, makes a softer sound. The flute used by the American Indians is considered one of the world's oldest musical instruments, invented after the drums, sonnets, and whistles. Crafted over the centuries using materials ranging from bone, clay bamboo, along with various types of hard and soft wood, the American Indians eventually preferred cedar wood as the best material for making the flute. The Native Americans used flutes for everything from entertainment to prayer, to courtship, perhaps the most common use. In fact, many flutes are called Love Flutes or Courtesy Flutes, and Native Americans have numerous stories that tell of the use of the Love Flutes in courtship practices. Origin of the species The earliest surviving native American flute made of wood was collected by Italian adventurer Giacomo Costantino Beltrami in 1823 on his quest for the headwaters of the Mississippi River. There are many stories about how the various indigenous peoples of the Americas invented the flute. In one story, the peaks picked holes in the hollow branches while searching for termites; when the wind blew along the holes, the people nearby listened to their music. Another story from the Tucana culture describes the Uakti, a creature with holes in the body that made a sound when it ran or the wind blew through it. Other materials Native American flutes were originally made of bone, now they are made of various materials. Ginger, Sequoia, and Cedar are popular because they provide a pleasant aroma. Soft forests are generally preferred by most flute players, due to the softer tones produced by the forest. Other harder forests such as walnuts and cherries are appreciated for the light, cool, rich sound they can produce. Bamboo and river cane can contain soft or clear tones, fresh depending on size and species. Music Modern Native American flutes are generally tuned to a variation of the minor pentatonic scale, which gives the instrument its distinctive lamenting sound. Recently some manufacturers have begun experimenting with different scales, giving players new melodic options. Native American flute typically has five or six holes, but an instrument can have zero to seven, including a thumb hole. Various manufacturers employ different scales and fingerings for their flute.
