It is figured that a series of Massive Pacific Tsunamis between aprox. 4,000 and 55,000 years ago in Northern New Zealand in the Pacific, buried massive old growth Kauri trees in peat swamps. These trees have been preserved due to the moisture and absence of oxygen as well as the preservative oils that Kauri contains. The awesome age of this timber gives it superior tonal qualities besides Kauris already fantastic suitability to instrument making. This is my series of limited edition Swamp Kauri Flutes, I am lucky enough to be connected with a limited source of the finest Kauri and have since I was introduced to it some years ago become very much in love with it. It not only represents ancient time and energy but it is completely sustainable, sadly though the source is limited and therefore irreplaceable. I am regularly sought out by flute collectors worldwide to create their Ancient Kauri Flute such is my knowledge and quality if my kauri supply and because there are few offering this amazing wood for NAF. Each Ancient Kauri Flute will be numbered from Jan 2012 The following pics are of a Ancient kauri Flute with Rosewood and purple heart bird w/ Arizona turquoise band Inlay. this flute was ordered and delivered to A partial Native American Chief and Pipe Carrier to the patawomek Indians in Virginia USA, the flute cost $575 AUD Please see Testimonial from the customer at bottom of the page.

Just got your CD today it to is amazing. Put me immediately into meditation and the place I needed to be. You did a fine job mixing it producing it and it is superb. Your Flute is your Pipe my brother, it makes your heart Red. Itties You to the Earth. It keeps you centered. It makes you prioritize your life tasks. It knows your soul and sings to you. Remember time is an Illusion and You are many people at once. When she arrived I couldn't wait to take her from her tube into which she was shipped. It was perfect. I put the bird on and blew. It's voice is magical. The Action superb, but before I could really Start playing the old Ancient One, It needed to be blessed so on February 25, 2012 I took the old Ancient One to the Top of the Hill at The Medicine Wheel and performed a Ceremony Just as I would for a pipe. I smudged all and First Set the being To the East and carried 5 large clear quartz crystals which I purchased from Arkansas to the center of the circle, all wrapped in Red Deer Skin, laid our five oldest brothers to the North side of the Post, the way of the Elders and the Earth Mother herself, and walked back to the East Post and Carried The Ancient Ones being to the center pole, Removed it from the Bag, The wind was blowing from all directions rather bristly, I held her up at the Center post and she began singing her own song, without my help. I told her she was all spirit and she was singing without my help and that she truly is magical. I sat her down and introduced her to her Quartz Brothers and explained how their Knowledge would balance her song, as her ancient wood was from New Zealand, Her bird and Rock Brother Malachite?) were from Australia as the Quartz People knew the Secrets of Turtle Island and the Land of the Eagle and the small one from Peru the Land of the Condor adding to her knowledge with love and peace. I then went to the four directions and played a song for each, I then played down to the Earth Mother herself, Then Up to Father Sky Itself, I included every part of creation in her song...Then I remembered the Star People, The Peliadians, The Sierians and all the others. I told them their story was welcomed in this flute, This ancient Being when it sang its song and used the wind from my lungs to help it sing and tell it's story It would
sin the song of honor, Peace Love and Light and the Greatness of the Creator... The Sun was setting in the West as I walked bagck down the Hill... Thank You Matt Walkincrow (Partial Chief and Ppe Carrier to his people the patawomek Indians of Virginia)
