YUCCA FLUTES | SOTOL YUCCA

Yucca wood has a very smooth soft quality about it and makes some of the most authentic, ancient sounding flutes I have ever heard. If you have ever been to the desert… you will appreciate the natural cactus wood aroma of these handcrafted flutes. There is such a vast array of color and shape when working with Yucca. I make Yucca Native American style flutes with either the exterior plant skin still in tact or with the skin removed for a smoother appearance. I love them both. Many times a weathered piece of Yucca can be skinned and smoothed out to reveal some very interesting texture and color hiding underneath the skin… see pictures below.

These Yucca stalks are hard to come by and supply is somewhat limited because I have to obtain them from private land as the native desert plants are protected. If you appreciate a really natural looking and beautiful sounding flute… consider one of these Yucca Native American Style flutes… teach one is so unique… you will not be disappointed.
