American Indian Wind Pipe

Anasazi flute named after the prehistoric culture. Has a similar structure found through out the Americas made of wood. The native American flute is a flute held in front of a player, has open finger holes, and has two chambers one collecting breath and the second chamber creating sound. My first finding of this instrument was 8 years ago. When I first played this instrument, I was taken by the wispy hollow sound and have been playing it ever since.
