Warbling Native flute More than any other ornament or effect, the warble (or “warbling”) is the classic and distinctive sound of traditional Native American flutes. Only a small portion of present-day Native American flutes are designed to warble. But, historically, some makers went as far as to discard a flute if it did not warble.
The Warble of early flutes In some ways, the contemporary Native American flute doesn’t sound like the indigenous flutes of the far past. Recently, flutes have been refined through modern preferences. First they have been tuned to the piano and particular scales. Much of their timbre has been cleaned of the buzzy, raspy, and breathiness. And they have lost their ability to warble, which is a sound that appears to have been highly prized in earlier times. When such flute is blown forcefully with all finger holes covered, it will sound initially with the lowest pitch and then briefly jump an octave higher before fall back to the lowest pitch, just to repeat the cycle of jumping and falling pitches. Because of the pulsing nature of the sound, many first mistake the warble for a strong vibrato.
