Wonderful. You are the reason I picked up the flute; you and Mary Youngblood. Absolutely beautiful. Thank-you for sharing your gift with the Universe. Peace-n-Love to you always
@RonaldRoybal i just wanted to tell u that when i am very streesed i listen to native american flute music and it calmes me very quick and puts me in to avry good mood
this is why i love being native american [chippewa] whenever im feeling down or im stressed i always liten to my native amerrican music on my ipod and instantly i feel relieved of my stress!
“Oh, Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me, I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my Spirit may come to you without shame.” . Chief Yellow Lark of the Lakota.
I studied for some of my exams by listening to this in the background...It really helped calm me down and was so gorgeous to listen to. I absolutely love Native American culture, music, and history!
I was looking for something to wake me up and get me moving...guess I was doing it in a brainwashed western way, needing loud jarring active noise to push me out my door. I found this just before the sun was all the way up. I remembered notions like balance, dedication, true strength. I smiled, went out to meet the sun, and my grandparents (over coffee). Thank you.
cool - thanks for sharing. people - it's not the colour of humans that makes things destructive, it is the choices they make. We are all interconnected, let us try to be together in harmony.
Very nice,You have wonderful talent and Heart...As a maker and player of the Native flute i know it's Power of healing and you relay that very well..Thanks for sharing..:)
I especially liked your vibrato and how it sounds likes little birdies tweeting! :-) I also loved seeing the audience responses to the music - just gorgeous!
The sweet sound of the American flute always calm my spirit and relaxed me in a way nothing else can do. Thanks for such a beautify and sweet music. Magdalena,
Beautiful song, beautiful spirit... Thank you my brother for sharing your gift with all of us... We should all pray to wake to each sunrise with such a peaceful song in our hearts. May the spirit bless you... mikki white eagle~
namaste ronald, a lady who i chat with online introduced me to american flute playing when i said i was interested in taking up flute. and i have to say, from the songs ive heard so far, it is very beautiful sounding. im looking forward to hearing more.
I'm just a beginning flute player but I learned so much on this particular song. I will be working toward some of your effect and embellishments. Most beautiful. I have saved this to my playlist for future reference.Thank you.
Actually, I was performing for a group with the microphone connected to a Gallien Krueger amplifier. The film crew recorded me from some distance away.
where can I buy ur CD this is what I love to listen to when I feel down it makes me pray my problems away in a good way thank you for sharing ur beautiful talent...smiles ur friend in BC Canada...leave me a message to let me know where I can buy ur Cd at thanks...
that is the nicest sounding flute ive ever heard so props to the flute maker. Also, a great flute would sound terrible without a great player and you sir are one of the best, if not the best. keep up the great work ronald
The AKG C419 is the best microphone for performance I have ever used. That's why I own several for back up. Every flute has a different dynamic and that is why a lavalier doesn't work very well for my purposes. Mic stands are a pain and are very ugly and feed back is always an issue. Honestly, I have been doing this for many, many years. My rig works great and the proof is in the number of positive comments that I get!
Why do i feel such passion? this is so beautiful! i'm learning to play at the moment but alas i don't have a good sound system for recording...altho i have posted one or two of my efforts on here...thank you for sharing!
After enjoying more of your videos, I became aware that it was your mic! My comments were based on my preferences, but if you ask 3 recording engineers how something should be mic'ed, you'll get 8 answers anyway (and if you're lucky, a fight :) If you are doing it yourself, and using it for reinforcement and not just recording then that changes the picture, and it sounds like you have a very good system. I will be asking you a tuning question shortly... I thank you for sharing this medicine.
Osiyo, uwoduhi dakanogidv otlvna ( hello beautiful music maker ) thank you for your friendship on facebook blessings to you and your family of peace, love, health and happiness
i love native american flute for 3years, she talk to my soul and my heart. ( sorry for my english , i'm a french guy) can i buy your blue star native jacket ? thank you for your answer .
Absolutely beautiful.. where can you buy a flute like that? I am very interested in acquiring one of these flutes to help me in my meditation, and for the sake of making music.
I like listening to just a few notes and technique and then turn it off and play my flute. I get inspired by hearing just a touch of another spirit song. Thanks for the inspirations. I Don't play through an amp to distort or amplify the sounds.
As a Theatre Tech/Sound Technician, I would identify that as a "Microphone" most likely being used to pick up the sound of the flute for purposes of recording. Note: I am not a Sound Recording Engineer (most of the time! :), so if it is being used for recording purposes, it is outside of my main field of expertise. OK, now that I have the "Ask a question, get a stupid answer" RUclips standard smartass remark out of the way! :) It looks like an AKG C 419 Instrument mic. Pretty standard fare...
Hmm, my smartass ran me out of room! :) For the record, I wouldn't have used that mic in this situation, because it's too ugly for a performance insturment. In a studio, it would be perfect, but for a performance, I would either use a mic stand, or an omni lavaliere mic on the artist. Also, having the mic that close keeps it from picking up all the tones coming from the further parts of the flute as well. Sorry for the long response, I guess I must be bored tonight! Love this flute... :)
Thanks to all who have left such wonderful comments. I am so glad you like the song so much. I like it, too!
I think so the man must be in peace with the trees, water, rocks, mountains, moon and the sky. Congratulations Ronald!!..your song have a peaceful atmosphere very necesary in this violence world. The man has forget the espiritual rules.

My mom is oglala. She was born on the first white buffalos birthday. She named me amber dawn. Love this song. Very nice. Thank you
wow im proud to be Cherokee , i cant even explain wat the feeling is that i feel wen i here native songs
Native American flute music really does represent nature at its best!
There are 5 people who have no spiritual feelings. I mean really? Why would you "dislike" something this beautiful?

I've now become a fan of native American music, it's seems to connect me with nature.

Great sound even from a camera recording.
Very uplifting and spiritual...
Thank you!

Beautifully played....by the spiritual heart.

Love this flute... :)
Beautiful. Is the flute red cedar?
I'm self taught on all my instruments. Most tribes have flute traditions.
I could meditate to this
@klawrenc0 What are "traditional Scandinavian flutes"? I'm not aware of what these are.
Incase you haven't been told, this flute is in F# :)
Where do you get one of these flutes? I want one really badly...
No, my mother is Spanish Colonial in heritage. My father is Tewa/Mestizo.
Ronald Roybal, Are you playing a 5 or 6 hole flute?
I'm playing this six hole flute like a five hole flute...
