Tells how to design, craft, play, and pray the Native American Love Flutes
of the more popular current varieties. This book is the foundation upon
which the other books in the series are based and was originally written
to be sufficient unto itself. Although the other books in this series allow

flutes, and its playing quality is unsurpassed. Furthermore, it is ideal
for creating flutes from materials such as heat-treated bamboo which has
a natural beauty of its own.
