Fulani flute

The Story of the Fulani Flute: Once upon a time, there was a little boy who lived in the enchanted mountains of Fouta Djallon in West Africa. He had lost his parents, and no one took care of him. He began to pass the time with a piece of reed. He played and experimented for weeks on end, trying to coax sounds from the reed. He discovered more and more notes, each one different from the last. The notes formed melodies, and soon a melodious instrument was invented: the Fulani flute. The boy climbed a tree and began to play. He put his whole heart into his playing. When he eventually looked down, he noticed that all the animals of the mountains had gathered at the foot of the tree and were weeping because his music was so beautiful. Ever since then, the shepherds in the land of the Fulani have been playing the most beautiful flute melodies. (The Little Flutist, by Lydia Kath)

This flute is made of reed, has been treated with food-safe varnish, and is reinforced at the end with a gourd ring. The mouthpiece is made of beeswax.

The flute is tuned to "G": G, A, B, C, D, E, F#; with all holes closed, it produces a "B."
