Zen: Global Spirit Flute 'A'
Our In Zen Scale Flute in the key of “A” is handcrafted from domestic, sustainable wood, chosen for its natural beauty and tonal richness. This instrument is tuned to the In Zen pentatonic scale, a mode deeply rooted in Japanese musical traditions and closely related to the Phrygian mode. Unlike the standard Phrygian, this scale replaces the 3rd degree with a flat 2nd and omits the 6th, giving rise to its serene and meditative voice.
The In Zen scale evokes the tranquil spirit of Zen practice, offering a soundscape of calm reflection and inner stillness. Its airy, contemplative tones are commonly found in traditional Zen and meditation music, where sound becomes a vessel for mindfulness and peace. By simplifying the scale to five notes, this flute invites intuitive playing and improvisation, allowing both beginners and experienced musicians to connect with music as a form of meditation.
Handcrafted with care, the In Zen Scale Flute bridges the artistry of Native American style flutes with the refined minimalism of Japanese tonal aesthetics. Its design ensures a smooth, resonant voice, perfectly suited for personal reflection, yoga, sound healing, or simply creating an atmosphere of quiet beauty. Whether you are just beginning your musical journey or seeking a new tonal color to enrich your practice, this flute opens a doorway into the calming world of Zen-inspired music.
The Zen Scale Spirit Flutes is approximately 14-inches long.
Our size Small Blanket Bag is wonderful light protection for this flute.

1. Prepare — Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn. Remove all packaging and place on a heat-safe surface away from drafts.
2. First burn — Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges on your first use (approx. 2 hours). This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle.
3. Enjoy — Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
4. Care — Once finished, clean the vessel with warm soapy water and repurpose as a storage jar, planter, or glassware.
We started Apothecary because we believed your home deserved better than synthetic fragrance and mass-produced wax. Most candles on the market are made with paraffin — a petroleum by-product — and loaded with artificial fragrance that can trigger headaches, allergies, and that familiar "chemical" smell.
We wanted something different: a candle that fills a room slowly, honestly, with scent that feels like it belongs there. That's why every Amber Candle is hand-poured in small batches using a coconut-soy blend, scented with a proprietary amber and resin accord that took over a year to develop.
Burn time matters too. We designed the Amber Candle to reach a full melt pool within the first two hours, which means no tunnelling, no wasted wax, and a consistent scent throw every time you light it.
This candle isn't just a product. It's what we'd want in our own homes.

How long does the Amber Candle burn?
Approximately 50 hours with proper care — trimming the wick to 5mm before each burn and not exceeding 4-hour burn sessions.
What wax is used?
A coconut-soy blend. We chose this combination for its clean burn, excellent scent throw, and renewable sourcing. No paraffin, no petroleum.
Is it safe to burn around pets?
Our fragrance is free from known pet-toxic ingredients, but we always recommend burning in a well-ventilated space. Keep candles physically out of reach of all animals at all times.
