This Songs of Glimmerwick flutes and songs hub helps you choose answers for Bristlecone's flute questions and find out when to collect your instrument. Crystal, Acorn, Spark, and Dew are choices in his first question, not finished flute names. Your flute depends on the full answer combination. Start with the Songs of Glimmerwick flute types guide to match your choices to a finished flute.
Choose Your Flute Answers
Bristlecone asks about resonance, flavor, water sound, and time, in that order. With the documented combinations using 1,000 years, Crystal or Spark can give Ghost Pine, Ochrebark, or Rusted Oak; Acorn or Dew can give Cobalt Juniper, Elder Rosemary, or Wenge.
For Ghost Pine, choose Crystal – Pickled – Sea – 1000. For Wenge, choose Acorn – Honeyed – Brook – 1000 or Dew – Honeyed – Brook – 1000. Use the flute types guide for the answer tables before making your selections.
Collect Your Finished Flute
1,000 years is a dialogue answer, not a price or a waiting period. Bristlecone's instruction to return in 1,000 years is a joke. After answering his four questions, pick up your school supplies in town, to the east, then return to Bristlecone to collect your flute.
