This flute is made from a light orange piece of Sitka spruce. This piece of wood was sitting in our shop for quite a long time, I believe it was salvaged from a piece of furniture. Sitka spruce is a light weight softwood and a notably good wood for instruments. It is often used in violin making because it lends a lovely resonance to instruments, flutes are no different. This flute does have a dark colored glue line, see the pictures, so I have reduced the price a little. This is just a minor cosmetic flaw.
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.
This flute is about 21 ½ inches long, 9 ½ inches from the mouth end to first hole, and the holes are 1 inch apart center to center.
