Mountain Flute in purple bamboo
Steinar's Fjellfloyte/The mountain flute is an instrument with a not-tempered intonation (that can make the scales of folk music), with pure and neutral intervals. If a piano is your reference, neutral tones are in between two half tones. This flute was produced in purple bamboo, made by profiled chinese flute maker Ying Ming Zhang, Hangzhou, southwest of Shanghai.

Seljefløyta - the overtone flute
The Seljefløyte has the overtone principle of the traditional bark flute which in spring time is made by the sallow branch (willow family). You can find similar flutes in other countries, like the tilincă in Romania. This version of Seljefløyte was many years made in purple bamboo for Steinar Ofsdal in Hangzhou, under the name Vårfløyta. Now Steinar makes them in pvc material, black painted, with a wooden mouth piece.
The Seljefløyte is available in D and E. But other sizes can be produced (the length makes the differences in key).
€ 60 or US$ 70 plus shipping.
