Ebonized Walnut flutes are handcrafted from Walnut wood, which is then ebonized by going through a time-consuming, multi-step process that involves being dipped multiple times and repeatedly sealed with coats of non-toxic oil, to create the final look and finish along with an enhanced tonal voice that is crisp, clear, and defined.
The flute is then completed with decorative Turquoise cabochons to enhance the natural beauty of the instrument and adding to its character as both a musical instrument and a piece of functional artwork.

More About Ebonized Walnut: Ebonizing was a process used frequently in the early 20th century. It was invented to make furniture that looked similar to real Ebony wood without the actual cost of that rare and highly-prized wood. Unlike staining, ebonizing penetrates deep into the wood's fibers giving brown Walnut wood a similar look to that of black Ebony wood.
