Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus)

• Craft: Sycamore’s light and tight-grained, with a pale, silky finish that glows soft white. It delivers a sweet, crisp tone—perfect for a flute that feels gentle yet clear.

• Spirit: Sycamore whispers harmony and growth, its gentle energy soothing the heart. Each note carries a quiet lift, weaving a sense of calm and renewal as you play.

• Lore: Sycamore, introduced to the UK by the late medieval period around the 15th century, has become a quiet legend in our tales. Medieval Brits called it a “lover’s tree,” tying it to romance and connection. In Celtic lore, it’s linked to nurturing and the earth’s embrace, often planted near homes for luck. A sycamore flute could hum with that tender, grounding magic.
