Instruments makes some of the largest bamboo flutes available anywhere.
These extra long flutes have especially deep, rich tones. They are
transverse
(side-blown) flutes, made from bamboo. They are tuned in pentatonic
scales
(5 tonal), traditional to Eastern and Native cultures throughout the
world . The pentatonic scale is a system of notes complementing
our traditional diatonic (major) scale. It is a tonal system of
notes typical of many indigenous cultures of the world. The
simplicity and harmonic increments of
these scales make them especially easy to learn, and very useful in
inducing
relaxation or meditative states. They are made with 4 finger holes,
making
it easier for one to play larger instruments. (5 hole instruments are
available
for an additional $15., $25.-35. for concert tuning.) They have an
individually colored, burnt-tone, lacquer
finish, and come with warranty and complete instructions.
The larger instruments
have increasingly large finger spans, making them more difficult for
those with small hands or stretch. Check with us for determining sizes you can play. |

If you have interest in Concert
(professional) quality tuning (up
to 1.5 - two octaves
or more in excellent pitch, at recording/performance standards,) ask if
it or intermediate quality tuning is available in your size, or we can
make one. (Intermediate = 1/2 difference in student/concert
quality flutes.)
For understanding
difference in grades, see transverse
flutes page.
For best care and protection of
your instrument, select one of our
fine
cloth flutebags.
