INTERESTING FACTS

Elder wood has been one of the traditional materials used for making flutes for centuries. Besides its excellent resonant properties, it is also valued for its symbolic meaning - elder has been considered since ancient times as a sacred tree with cleansing and protective powers. Double flutes appear in archaeological findings from various cultures around the world since antiquity. They represent one of the oldest types of musical instruments, which evolved from a simple shepherd's pipe. In ancient Greece, the double aulos was very popular, in Egypt double clarinets called zummara were used, in India the alghoza. The duality of these instruments has, besides its practical musical significance, also a symbolic dimension - in many cultures, it represents the harmonious union of opposites, such as the male and female principles.
