 "Anasazi Flute by Stephen is a rim-blown style flute with a mouthpiece enabling "embouchure challenged flute victims" to play. The one I have is absolutely wonderful.
The reach is easy, playing could not be easier,
and that dusty, dry Southwest tone exquisite." |
"I love my new Ez-Anasazi flute! Thanks so much for bringing this new innovation to us !
I know this will be a big hit with everyone.
I'll be sharing it with all our Flute Circle members."

This flute is inspired by replicas of the ancient Anasazi flute.
Artifacts dated around 650 A.D. are from the Pueblo people of Arizona and New Mexico.
I have created the Ez-Anasazi Flute using some elements of these flutes with additional innovations:
- The air cutting edge is like a rim-blown flute, with the innovative addition of an air slot "fipple" above it.
- It has a long, narrow bore and similar scale considered to be from the Anasazi Flute.
- I have added a thumb hole for versatility and ease on the top notes.
A contemporary interpretation of an ancient instrument.
Blessings of the Ancestors.

The Anasazi are from north eastern Arizona but
they also had settlements as far south as Payson known as the Mogollon Rim. That part of the Anasazi civilization evolved into what archaelogists call the Mogollon people. The Hopi call the Anasazi, 'Hisatsinom' which means 'our ancestors'. Archaeologists also believe that the Hisatsinom Anasasi are the direct ancestors of the Hopi. Anasazi is actually a Navajo word which means 'enemy ancestors'. Navajo have a long standing rivalry with the Hopi. Below is a quote from the book I'm getting this information from, "The Archaeology of Ancient Arizona". |
 This is another spiral I found on a cave wall. (cave below) This site belongs to the Salado people who archaeologists believe are descended from the Hohokam people. This is at least 1000 years old. |

"Far more than farmers, they were
architects, artisans, artists, and astronomers. They embraced a religious world view that survives to this day and that competes favorably with the world's major religions in depth of spirituality and longevity of tradition." Authors Jefferson Reid & Stephanie Whittlesey |
