Curly Maple, Mystic Blue Quena, Key of G
$269.00 (out of stock)
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.

PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING. This flute is not covered by my normal return policy. This is a very large flute and at least half of the players who try it cannot reach the finger holes comfortably. I will provide you detailed information to help you determine if you can play it, but once it is determined that you can reach the flute I will only consider a return on a case-by-case basis. I’m sorry to be so strict about this, but this has been a problem in the past and has obliged me to alter my policy. I get a lot of requests for this flute, but be forewarned that it is a stretch, even for tall players.
Curly Maple (Mystic Blue) Mojave 5 Key of G (right-handed)
$329.00 (out of stock)
The Mojave series of flutes are minor-tuned end blown flutes, coming in 4-hole, 5-hole and 6-hole versions. Due to the scale intervals, the placement of the finger holes on the lower tuned versions means that they cannot be played using conventional fingering (six holes on top of the flute). The only key that comes in the 6-hole option is the key of B. Lower tunings come in a 5-hole version and the lowest tuning (low F#) comes in a 4-hole version. The five hole version is played covering two holes with each hand on the top of the flute, and using a thumb hole. This means that with the exception of the key of B, the Mojave only plays part of the minor scale, though it does play it across two plus octaves including some harmonic overtones.
The reach on this 5-hole version might be problematic for some players because the holes are quite far from the mouthpiece, so players with shorter arms or smaller hands might not be comfortable. I suggest contacting me for details on this matter before purchasing.
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).
(Thanks to long-time customer Adam Arthur for providing this sample of the Mojave in G!)
