Rooted in Japanese musical tradition, the Akebono scale represents a five-note pentatonic tuning that translates to "dawn." This sophisticated tonal system removes the 4th and 7th degrees from a minor scale, creating an inherently contemplative soundscape characterized by serene and melancholic qualities. The absence of a fixed tonic note grants performers remarkable melodic flexibility, allowing for intuitive, exploratory playing. Crafted from teak wood and tuned to 432Hz, this 20" forest flute embodies the meditative essence found in classical Japanese instruments like the koto and shamisen, making it an ideal choice for ambient composition, sound healing, and transcendent musical expression.
Crafted by the skilled hands of Juang Flutes in Indonesia, these one-of-a-kind flutes are truly special. Located in East Java on the island of Madura, Robi and Elok Akbar use ethically sourced natural branches to create playable works of art. Each flute is crafted from a unique branch, resulting in a stunning instrument with its own distinct characteristics.
