Our Premiere Native American A flute is tuned to the pentatonic minor scale in the key of A which means the highest and lowest notes on this flute will play the key of A (not including overblow notes). They are medium sized flutes, measuring 21 inches (53.34 CM) long. Their size makes them a good choice for beginner flute players because they are small enough that most adults and children can reach the finger holes with minimum effort. They sound bright and cheerful, but aren’t so high in pitch that they sound shrill. They have a melodic voice that many people are drawn to. This key is often suggested by flute instructors because it is easy to play and suitable for a flute player of any skill level.
