Update: 2021-03-04

Description

The talented Rikk Smith, aka. Shining Fox, makes Native American flutes. He tells us about his recent introduction to the honeybee and how this journey inspired him to make an instrument in the creature’s honour. Rikk also treats us to a song on this beautiful instrument. Rikk learned to make these instruments while in America and was taught the traditional methods. For him, the whole process of making a flute is a spiritual and meditative experience. Captivating listening. Check out the pictures on our website: www.livingbeeing.com. You can also find out all about Rikk and his flutes at: www.shiningfoxcreations.com.
