Heaven & Earth Flute by La Rosa Flutes (Flauta del Cielo y de la Tierra)

Description

The Heaven & Earth Flute is a double-ended bamboo drone flute that is played with the mouthpiece in the center of the instrument. The drone comes out the upper half while the melody notes come out the lower half. This flute was invented by Omar La Rosa of La Rosa Flutes.

The tuning of the Heaven & Earth Flute comes in either D, D#, E, or F. Drones in the lower and higher octave of each key are possible on this instrument.

The notes are played from low to high by first covering all the finger holes, then lifting one finger at a time starting with the hole closest to the end of the flute and moving up toward the center of the flute.
