Just as ‘French Horn’ is the name of a musical instrument, so is ‘Native American Flute’. The name does not imply that the instrument was made by an enrolled-member of a tribe federally recognised by the United States Government anymore than ‘French Horn’ implies it was made by a person with French citizenship. However, American lawyers, native or not, have got at this so that makers who are not so enrolled have to use the term Native American ‘Style’ Flute. This is clumsy and legalistic and so Tony Morris has invented the word ‘Amerynd’ Flute as a cover all term and uses it for the first time on the Guerrilla Pilgrims Album packaging. The ‘y’ is pronounced as in ‘rhyme’.
