F# redwood Anasazi (Pueblo) flute by Geoffrey Ellis
If I had heard this beautiful flute music 13 years ago, I would have bought a flute then and started learning to play it. By now I might be at least half that good. I just bought my first flute in December, 2022. Since I am 83 I probably won't make it, but I can still enjoy the journey and enjoy beautiful presentations like this one. 🥰
Good for you!
I am 80, and just starting this happy and rewarding journey.
You should get one. You're never too old to create beauty.
Imagine how good you'll be in 13 more years.
@@peacauveI was trying to play "Colors of the Wind" by using the printed music and really struggling. Then one day I took my flute with me and my poodle to the dog park. I discovered I could play the song better without the written music and several other songs. I could never do this with other instruments. It's like the flute is more a part of us. 🥰
the only thing wrong with this song is it is not long enough :D
I don't know if you're still reading comments, Mr. August, but watching this video caused me to contact Geoffrey Ellis and purchase this flute because I've never heard a more beautiful song in my life, and I'm 58. It's my first rim blown flute, so being long, it's not the most easy one to learn on. I've had it a week now and can hit most notes in 3 octaves, but it never goes perfectly. I'm still experimenting with breath pressure, lip position, flute angle,and inward pressure into my chin. So now, after messing around a bit (with MUCH experimentation), I am even more impressed with your skills. You change octaves seamlessly, running up and down scales and changing octaves mid scale as if it's a piano, and it most certainly is not.
This is just to say I am in awe of your skill and creativity and to thank you for convincing me to try this beautiful instrument. There's quite a learning curve, but it's also very gratifying. And when those notes go together correctly, it is an amazing sound. THANK YOU, SIR!
How you enjoy playing the flute. The sheet music for this song is available free to members of www.cedarmesa.com
I've yet to find something that puts me more at peace than playing my flute and listening to others play theirs. 👍🏼😍
I am speechless at how this incredible flute sounds. Blown away at the beauty...💜💜💜💕🌷To say I love it does not seem enough...
I just wanted to tell you how much this music has inspired and influenced me. I love playing music and can play quite a few different instruments at varying skill levels, but for whatever reasons, the flute was not an instrument I ever gave any thought to. My dearest friend began playing Native American flutes after attending a powwow. His enthusiasm sparked a small interest within me, but it was not until I discovered THIS video that I began what has become something of a love affair and obsession with rim-blown flutes, particularly the replica "Anasazi" (i.e. pre-historic Pueblo flutes found in a cave) and the Arabian Ney. There is something about the vibration of the sound made by that big Pueblo flute that hits me like no other sound ever has. It's also perhaps the most challenging instrument I've ever attempted. It took me a LONG time to figure out the basic embouchure to make my own Anasazi flute say anything at all, and I still can't quite make it sing like you do. But the journey has been amazing and it might not have started at all if not for you. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, the PSF does not give up its secrets easly but is a beautiful instrument. Time and daily focus are your friend. So are mirrors. :)
@@scottaugust Thank you for that tip :) The mirror reveals a lot.
@@mishterpreshident I should also tell you to be careful that your tuning does not go flat as you play notes near the register shift (the octave). It is a common problem that people do not tighten their embouchure as they play higher notes, resulting in them being flat. The best thing you can do is play long, straight tones. Not for length's sake, but to learn to control the tone, or bring it back if you lose it (we are always losing it), and checking your tuning too.
@@scottaugust I've been working on the long notes as you suggested. It's been very useful to focus on one note for a time, making tiny adjustments to embouchure to either clean up the tone or raise it to the correct pitch. I also started using a tuner. Mapped out all the fingerings to their proper note, and then I practice with the tuner on. I watch the needle when I change notes, then hold that note and adjust embouchure until I've raised the needle to center. I lose it a lot. It's funny, I can play beautifully for a few seconds or minutes, then lose the sweet-spot entirely and spend several seconds trying to reacquire it. So easy to lose but so amazing when it's right! Thanks again Scott.
@@mishterpreshident A big part of long tones is trying to bring back the tone when you lose it. Like balancing on a bike, we are always loosing the balance/tone, but we learn to bring it back...eventually so quickly that we are not even aware of it..
I got so emotional listening to this. Amazing.
WHOO HOOO!!! just got off the phone with Geoff ordering my Low F# Anasazi in Curly Redwood!!! I can't Wait to get it, Thank You Scott for the insperation. Awesome Video !!!
I misspoke in one of my comments below. This is an F# PSF. It was made by Geoffrey Ellis of Ellis flutes. The song is on my album Hidden Journey.
Scott August I'm having Geoffrey make me this exact flute so I can learn this exact song. I've had "learn to play NAF/Anasazi flute" on my to do list for 6 years and your song finally pushed me to do it. So beautiful!
Hey Scott, have you ever used any flute (or other instrument) tuned in Solfeggio tones or with a 432 hz tuning (instead of 440 hz)? 432 hz is supposed to be the natural healing frequency of Mother Earth. 440 hz was used to offset overtone feed back in earlier recordings and broadcasts (pre-WWII), and is considered by some as an abomination and the cause of all discord in the present world.
WOW ! Beautiful Scott.
See you at the Yosemite Flute Festival.
Beautifully done, the Anasazi floor a true wonder of sound, that truly captures the essence of beauty our Earth holds in so many ways. Well done
Thanks for listening!
Effortless beauty. You've created such a wonderful painting of a beautiful world. My goodness...absolutely wonderful
thank you Scott. Gracias Scott por tu arte sublime.
I get my "ancient" flutes from Earth Tone Flutes and Coyote Oldman Flutes. Mostly Earth Tone. You can find their info on the makers page of my website.
Do you happen to sell a CD of your music, or have a place where we can buy/download it?
@@theiran Yes, cedarmesa.com. Both CDs and Downloads
Breathtaking experience, thank you for this beautiful moment.
Man, I sure miss your performances and your fantastic sense of humor. Still can't believe how you play these flutes so beautifully. Be Well My Friend,
Stephen
No words
Thanks for listening!
Magnificent ❤🦋💫
You, dear Scott, are truly amazing
Haunting and serene, thanks for the Grand Canyon views on the video! Love the sound of this flute!
You are the BEST! Discovered your music while studying for Esthetics! Now I only play your music while doing treatments. So spiritually soothing for me to do my job 100% and for the client to get the best treatment! You rock! :)
This song is on Hidden Journey.
13 years and nobody can touch this. ✨
Wow, is it really that old? Yikes. Thanks for listening!
@@scottaugust yes, you were my first N.A.F. teacher.
This is sooo amazing. I listen to this everyday. It really helps me to calm down and reminds me to connect to Mother Earth and father sky. I went out and purchased my own Ancestral Pueblo flute. Thanks you Scott. Sooooo much love for this. ❤️💛💚
Glad you are enjoying it.
The several times that I spent in all that Canyons in Colorado Southern Utah Arizona New Mexico…Listening this songs connects my soul to the peace of the Spirit that I can’t find in my daily basis
Deeply grateful for your music Scott
The “ Pachamama” Incas language to the Mother Earth always is giving us the peace and all we need to live in harmony with all the species… The Great Spirit be upon you … Your music is healing my soul…

I may play a little bit of PSF, or xiao
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece Scott, it even inspired me to get a Geoffrey Ellis Basketmaker and learn how to play both the instrument and this piece that you have generously shared the score for on your website. Thanks again!

Beautiful!
Beautiful, very nice.
I love this!! It's very relaxing!
Funny how one of the screen shots is of the grand canyon and I'm right down the road.
hey Scott this is so beautiful! do you happen to have the chart fingering for Mr. Deruby's EZ anasazi flutes?
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! I watch it darn near everyday after work to unwind! it is sooo peaceful and calming, but i have a question, will you ever make a video of you playing the new Mojave6 Flute? Id Love to hear it as well!!! Have a Nice Day.
Have you heard Scott's new CD, Radiant Sky? It's beautiful!
Es tan sutil... tan delicado...
Que mi alma no puede explicarlo...
Contempla todo... sin tocarlo...
Great music
Beautiful! Can you play middle eastern music with it? I have a ney and duduk but I have such a hard time getting sound from them.
I don't know enough about middle eastern music to say for sure, but I doubt it. This flute will basically play in a major pentatonic, and except for a minor 3rd does not play chromatic notes. For example, it can't play a Phrygian dominant scale. The Xiao would be a much better choice. Thanks for listening.
wonderful! where can i buy such a beautiful Anasazi Flute?
Great playing, sir. Have you played the smaller version of the Anasazi flute? Also, I can understand if the fingering is difficult to grasp, but how about actually making a sound? I hear the Anasazi isn't the type of flute where you just flow air into the mouthpiece. How does it work?
The flute is in G. Thanks, Scott
INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE IT!!! very Peaceful adn relaxing,....may I ask what key it is in please sir?
Man............that is smooth...
Did you make that flute, good sir?
simply
Hi Scott what flute and key are you playing in the song called Heart of the Sky. I love that song and the album . thanks John

Hello,
Great video, just beautiful
How can get native american flutes? (like the one you are playing),
i currently live in the UK, Scotland.
Are the flutes made in 'set' keys or can it be used in different keys when playing?
Thanks
'Wow. Beautiful. Thank you Scott! What key is that in? It is just perfect
Hi Scott, this is so beautiful and I would love to find an anasazi flute, I own a mid F# Laughing Crow flute and will doon be getting a koa in Em. would you recommend a flute this large as I am sure I will adjust if its hard to begin with.
Thanks
Does anyone know the type flute (think it's Anasazi) Scott is playing here ("Silent Journey") as well as the key it's tuned to?
I'll be 82 in a couple weeks and would like to start leaning ASAP. Would appreciate any info anyone could give. Thanks.
ALL Scott's music is incredible. "Silent Journey" and "Buffalo Dance" are my favorites.
All of the answers to your questions are in the notes below the video.
Thanks, it's an F# and is very tough to play unless you have super long arms and a good reach.
Thank you!
Very nice!
What type of microphone do you use for recordings?
Thanks!
do you offer a tab for this song? If so, please post a link... it is beautiful and haunting... thank you Scott!

Where do I buy a flute like this and what key is this flute in?
Thanks amazing playing
All the information is below the video, and I see I've answered the question in some of other comments. F#, Ellis Flutes, and if you have never played a flute like this don't start on an F#. Try Bb.
Yes, I have plans to film the M6 in the next few months. Stay tuned.
Dear Scott, were can I buy a Anasazi flute, and do you give tutorials?
May I use any of your Anasazi flute music for a 1 minute short film I am making??

F# PSF by Geoffrey Ellis of Ellis flutes in what style of flute and wood
+GiltronTheOne All the information and links are in the notes above.
+Scott August sorry i must be missing something up there or the F# redwood Anasazi (Pueblo) must no longer be sold on his site ellisflutes.com/products
You would need to special order any flute you want from Geoffrey.
Yes. It is a hard flute to play. Check out my book Kokopelli's flute to learn more.
Hello, I'm new to this flute and would love to get one. Most other anasazi flute videos I find are much higher pitch. I would love to have one with this type of lower pitch. How can I go about getting this? Please give me as much info about this as possible please!!!
Contacting the maker would be my best suggestion. He is listed in the comments below the video. It's now just Ellis Flutes, but same guy.
Scott August ok thank you so much :)
Does this flute have a fixed Or variable fipple?
It is not a fipple flute.
what is used for echo or reverb .
sounds like a bass G anasizi flute... i just wanna know how much is it??
It is a G Pueblo (Anasazi) style flute. Please contact the maker Geoffrey for more information.
any web site...
you are the kokopelli? could be
