This flute is made out of a beautiful rosy piece of maple. The wood has a lovely chatoyance, a rippling grain pattern that shimmers and moves in the light. Maple is a hard and durable wood with a silky smooth finish. It has a nice substantial weight and is ideal for those who want to travel with their flute!
Flutes in this key, the key of A, are a wonderful choice for beginner flute players because of their size. They are one of the smaller flutes that we offer. The finger hole spacing is comfortable for most hand sizes and the overall length of the flute feels manageable for most people.
This 6 hole flute is tuned the universal standard 440 hz concert tuning and features a pentatonic minor scale ( the most common scale for modern Native American flutes). With the guidance of the booklet, you can learn to play many other scales on this flute which make use of all 6 holes.
