Product Specifications
These flutes are a hybrid of The South American Quenacho & the Japanese Shakuhachi Flute, with an extra note option, second hole from the top.
Benefits of this Style of Flute:
2 full octaves of notes (second by over-blowing). There are also some extra harmonic notes playable on your flute by over-blowing the base note of the flute (all fingers on).
In order to access these notes, you will need to develop a fine control over your lips / mouth embouchure and be able to increase the air speed with a high degree of precision.
