A custom bamboo flute design by Thomas Richardson Music, directly inspired by the bamboo flute that David Carradine played in scenes from Kill Bill. The flute featured in the Kill Bill film is a David Carradine flute design.

David was a unique flute builder! He grew his own bamboo, he harvested it, and designed unique and long bamboo flutes for himself. He tended to set the emboucher, the breath hole, several cells down the bamboo depending on what diameter of bamboo he was building his flute out of. A link to an interesting video from Bruce Lee's "The Silent Flute" which Carradine starred in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SunFJWZQo0o

This amazing Carradine inspired flute can be rested on the left shoulder when playing just like a violin. Tuned to the Pentatonic minor scale. 5 tone holes with a thumb hole like a Japanese Shakuhachi. 2 octaves. Comfortable to finger. No long finger stretches. Made from tan cured Chinese stone bamboo. I've been building these long style Carradine flutes for many years now.

The length of this flute is inspired by the flutes of the ancient Shaolin KUNG FU masters who used their instruments as walking sticks and weapons.
