Wind Flutes BY BRAS

A flute powered by movement!

The Wind Flutes BY BRAS are a unique, simple but fascinating instrument. Made of a long pipe and a special 3D printed head, the wind flute turns all your gestures into movement. The notes are based on the overtone series, you can explore the overtone scale with large circular sounds or precise rhythms, 

You can explore the movement and dance with it, or you can use it in studio for unique and well-tuned long atmospherical notes, or unique breathing rhythms, with the same notes in two hands on a chord combination.

The acoustic sound is quite intimate, but in a silent environment or with the right microphones you will get very unique sound experiences!

The available notes are F, F#, G, G#, A and A#, those are the best sounding notes for this pipe diameter. You can choose between unison pairs, for more textures and possibilities on the same fundamental note, or harmonic pairs, to explore two related scales with your pair.

The 3D-printed head has been carefully designed for professional sound quality. The body is made of lightweight, durable PVC pipe, divided into multiple sections with connectors for easy transport. The instrument is precisely tuned to A440 Hz.

You'll find video lessons, tips, and demonstrations on the Instruments BY BRAS YouTube channel to help you make the most of your new instrument.
