Redwood Native American style A flute - #5827

This flute is made from a piece of Redwood that was salvaged from 100-year-old bridge. The wood itself is much older and was likely from an ancient tree. This is a softwood flute which adds a resonance that you can feel in your hands as you play. It should be protected with a flute bag to avoid dents.  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.
