Item arrived super quickly, safe and sound, really well packaged. Good communication.
Great thank you!
As soon as I opened the package, I was stunned at the quality of this flute. Beautiful grain in the wood, excellent finish to the surface and most of all, the sound is mesmerizing. The bag that it comes with is a great complement to the product, I often like to venture to the woods to play and this is a great protective sleeve to carry it in. I couldn't be more more pleased with this purchase. Many thanks:)
Very nicely made,good to play and nice to have as a decorative object.
First impressions of the Quena Andean flute. Amazing quality for the price. Good quality wood, excellent finish and a very nice fabric bag to protect the instrument. Playing the Quena: It is a challenge to play at first - there are lots of instructional videos on YouTube; some are even in English - but the actual feel needed to produce the sound is almost impossible to describe. Everyone has a unique facial profile so the exact position of the notch relative to the lips, chin etc. will vary. A few 10 minute sessions of exploration should get most people on the right path. Dont give up..... but take it slowly... its a journey of discovery. Once you are getting a reasonable tone then actually playing tunes is very easy. The Quena I received was perfectly in tune and produces a beautiful sound once you sort out your technique. Very pleased with this purchase.
