Wolfs Robe aka Flute Man

Wolf Clan Flutes
presents
“The Grandfather”

Wolfs Robe was taught the art of Traditional flute making by a fourth generation Blackfeet flute maker in 1984 and is pleased to introduce his style to the public to enjoy,Commonly known as “Grandfather” tuned flutes they represent the Traditional ways of this instrument. The pictures below will explain just what Traditional/Grandfather tuning is all about. You do not need to know how to read sheet music. These flutes are not in a Western scale; they are tuned perfectly for Nature “just the way they were long ago”. Made from cedar, these are well-balanced flutes; you do not need much breath to play them and they are not too loud and are easy to handle. Measuring approximately 26 inches long, these flutes are sure to please. The carved guides on each side of the “block” or effigy ensure that when the effigy is tied on, it will remain straight. The flute also has a chimney at the sound hole carved into the effigy to help block any wind that might interfere with the air going over the sound hole if played outside. Again please take a look at the pictures below and listen to the sound sample of this beautiful instrument.

What is Traditional/Grandfather tuning?

(1)The entire length of the flute is as long as the makers arm

(2)The “tone hole or sound hole” is the distance from the end of the flute as is from fingertip to inside elbow.

(3)From the tone hole the first finger hole is a hand and two fingers width apart.

(4)The finger holes are a thumb width apart .

(5)The four holes at the end of the flute represent the four sacred directions “the Medicine Wheel” so when we play these instruments the song goes to the four directions to honor our Ancestors.

(6)these four holes should be a thumb width from the end of the flute.

And that is what Traditional tuned means
“the Original way they were measured”
