NEW! Cherry Quena, Key of G

$249.00 (out of stock)

Cherry Quena, Key of G. New design! These quena are the result of many experiments over the years that have resulted in an instrument with superior tuning balance. Well balanced quena are nearly impossible to find, and I don’t believe you will find any quena that can match the intonation of this design.

For all flutes, I recommend one of my Flute Care Kits. They are only available as an add-on purchase at the time of checkout (after you have pressed the “Add to cart” button you will see the option for the care kit right along side and you have to select it from the menu).

NEW! Ebonite Quena, Key of G

$349.00 (out of stock)

Black Ebonite Quena, Key of G. New design! These quena are the result of many experiments over the years that have resulted in an instrument with superior tuning balance. Ebonite is a natural (non-synthetic) hard rubber valued for its stability and amazing acoustic properties, and was very popular with 19th century flute makers. If you are unfamiliar with ebonite as a material, I recommend reading my blog on the subject.

Roasted Curly Maple, Key of C/F. This new narrow bore xiao design brings a richer harmonic spectrum and improved intonation. Redesigned mouthpiece with ebonite cap. To learn more about how the new design came about, check out my blogs: Revisiting the Xiao. and Keene on the Xiao

The xiao is not just for Chinese music (though it excels in that context). These are fully-realized open-holed flutes with a tremendous range, and are ideal for many forms of music. You can play in a wide variety of styles with a remarkable tonal range. A true, Desert Island Flute! You can learn more about the xiao HERE.

For all flutes, I recommend one of my Flute Care Kits. They are only available as an add-on purchase at the time of checkout (after you have pressed the “Add to cart” button you will see the option for the care kit right along side and you have to select it from the menu).

Listen to Connor Keene performing on the new xiao design in the key of C!
