About different Lakota flute models (single, drone, triple)

Lakota flutes can be ordered in three models: single, drone and triple Drone Lakota flutes are a model of this instrument that consists of two sounding pipes. These pipes can be made connected or separated from each other. Drone flutes have an ancient structure and have been made and used by Native Americans for a long time. Drone Lakota flutes, like single flutes can be ordered in different keys. The structure of drone flutes consists of two flutes, which can be made connected or separated from each other, one of these tubes is the pedal flute, which can be a simple tube with the ability to play one note next to the main tube or have three to seven replaceable pedal notes (pedal point).

Drone Lakota flutes have a spacey, shamanic, proper sound with twice the intensity due to the presence of a reciting note or pedal next to the main sounding tube, which creates harmony when playing. Also, due to the wide range of possibilities that they provide to the musician, they are a very suitable option for improvisation, so that the musician can play both the main flute at the same time or singly, and also play the reciting note while playing. These special and unique features have made this flute an attractive choice for more professional musicians and of course those interested in shamanic and effective sounds.techniques and ornaments for playing double and triple samples that are easy to learn.

The above information also applies to triple Lakota flutes, with the difference that triple Lakota flutes have two resonating tubes, which are located next to the melody tube, and can provide you with access to more resonating notes. It is wrong to say that triple flutes have a louder sound than double flutes, because the more wood material used in their construction takes away the possibility of free resonance from the wood and does not produce a louder sound.

at the end and as a guide in choosing between these three models, I should mention that drone flutes are more luxurious and professional than single instrument samples, and if you can afford to pay more for Lakota, we recommend buying a drone Lakota flute, but when it comes to comparing and choosing between drone and triple samples, it depends on whether you are a

beginner player or have already experienced playing with this flute, because triple samples are different in terms of size and also They are heavier and may be difficult for a beginner player to handle, especially on bass models that are larger in size and length. Also, the additional notes built into a triple model may be more than that which is useful for you as a beginner Lakota flute player, so if you just want to enter the world of playing this instrument, we suggest you to choose single or drone samples.
