Ana,

I think you are confusing this whole thread with an earlier thread regarding the Catatonic Scale.

The Catatonic Scale was first developed in the mountains of Catalonia where music was played on large wooden flutes made from the hollowed out branches of the Catalpa tree. Catatonic Scale is well suited for the long, slow, almost boring music played there. Its rare to find a musical form based solely on a three note scale. And the Catalpa Flute is the only instrument that naturally is able to play in the key of "M", a key usually reserved for some vocalists. These instruments have migrated with their owners (Some say for political reasons) to New York state and can be found from the heart of the Catskill Mountains all the way to Cattaragus (sp) County. Noteable pieces are The Cattatta In "M" for Flute and Stone by Wadlow Cuffington, and Terrelli's Caticle for simultanious Flute and Voice also in "M". There are other folkmelodies but they have never been recorded as then tended to put the collectors to sleep.

I hope this clears things up a little for you.
