Hi Granite Tiki,

It's a hand-carved flute. Throughout his life, ahbez made many of them, including the one he's holding in the studio with Brian Wilson in that 1967 photograph. One of the things ahbez loved to do was sit up in the Hollywood Hills and hold his flutes up to the wind... let nature play its song.
