Clay Flutes and Ocarinas by Nashtavewa

All Clay Flutes are handmade from terra cotta clay. They are carefully sculptured, tuned, and finished with a 12 hour firing to create a one-of-a-kind instrumental art piece.

Nash belongs to the Bene Walash (Zapotec) Culture from the Sierra North of Oaxaca, Mexico. His flute journey began as a child. As a kid, his parents made him small cane flutes, clay whistles and drums to play with. Surrounded by family artists, he learned to make his own flutes and whistles.

Mayan Face Wind Maker
These wind makers are a fantastic way to embellish your music with the sound of wind. Simply blow into the mouth-hole and out comes the voice of the wind. With air pressure you can create the soft sound of a breeze or the howl of a windstorm. It all depends on how much air you push through the sound hole. Nash painstakingly hand molds each Mayan face to craft a unique piece of playable art. Available in natural terra cotta finish or glazed finish.

"Just back from Costa Rica. I took a nose dive down a flight of cement stairs with the flute carrier. My right knee and elbow skinned up but the flutes were just fine in the carrier. Someone also stepped on the carrier and of course it was stuffed into the overhead bin on the airplane and at least once someone tried to crush it with their carry on. Flutes traveled just fine. Thank you very much."
