The flute-history in ancient America began with the early archaic bone flutes - after this it developed the reed flutes in various forms. But then, a very special style of a double chambered wooden flute will made. Specially from the plain and woodland people. The easy to carve Red Cedarwood timber halves have been hollowed out and with rawhide straps firmly bound together. A small front air chamber and a large sound chamber, allow to play the sound soft and sentimental - by playing varying the air pressure through. The harmonious and soft sound of these instruments, give charms and soothes. The people called them magic and they used them as love spell and as healing tool. So, in ancient times the flutes cost often more than two horses and they were rare and sought after.
