Hi,
my name is Ramon, and I make Native American Flutes. I do it because I feel ravished
by them. They are, in my opinion, the most beautiful instrument given to us by
Creation and its profound and meaningful sounds moves my soul. I
feel that the beauty and harmony of its vibrations are a powerful "weapon"
to fight chaos and all kinds of disorders. It is an
extremely easy instrument that can be played by everyone, even if you do not have
any musical knowledge. All it takes is... HEART. Come
and join us NAF fans through out the planet, and be rewarded with wellness, joy
and happiness.
The origin of the Native American flute is shrouded
in mystery. It might have been developed during the Anasazi period and based upon
a design imported from Mesoamerica (Mexico and Central America). Perhaps it was
developed locally, evolving from whistles. We may never really know. Usually described
as primarily an instrument of courting, the Native American flute actually was
used for a variety of different purposes, including ceremonies in the Southwest
and personal meditiation in the Southeast. There are also indications of use in
healing.

| As we trace the origin of
the most common Native American flute, that being the two-chambered duct flute,
we encounter a dilemma. Much of the history is contained in oral tradition. Oral
tradition can be used as authority or proof of the existence of something, but
only to a point. It is a known fact that ceremonial practices and legends related
to origin and rituals were passed from one generation to the next with precise
duplication, but that exactness probably did not extend to the mundane activities
such as preparation of food and shelter and the crafting of tools, weapons and
musical instruments. To be sure, musical instruments used in conjunction
with sacred rites that involved the use of specific materials and a ritual of
construction were afforded a certain precision in the passing of crafting methods,
and it is these methods that we, traditional flutemakers, try to preserve. |
************************* NEW
CEREMONIAL FLUTE I made this flute for
a friend, a warrior. An interesting story lies behind it as he gave me a "special"
piece of wood and asked me to make a flute out of it. He
is writing the story of the piece of wood, and I will include here when he has
done so.
