  • Beautiful flute, but…
Do not buy this if you have no experience playing a wood instrument. It is extremely difficult to get any tone and you will get frustrated and probably blow out along trying to learn it. It says for beginners, I completely disagree. I’ve had such a difficult time I’ve come to wonder if maybe it was constructed wrong. If you don’t have a good lungs and the patience of Job, I would not recommend as a beginner. It will end up sitting on a shelf as a paperweight. ... show more

  • Novica Quenta Flute Brown Jacaranda
Beautiful Pre-Mexican had weaving Peruvian carring case. I glued instructions to a sheet of paper and watch the kid video. I was able to hold my teeth to the bottom of my upper teeth and upper lip attached to the bite of the Quenta with 3 holes covered on top and hole on bottom covered with thumb I was able to blow my first note after about 3 minutes. Hope with practice I can make some noise or even a scale. artsahobby789 Professionally handled and wrapped The videos were helpful ... show more

  • Very attractive quena at a great price
I was curious about learning the quena but did not want to spend a lot of money in case I decided it was not the instrument for me. I chose this Novica quena because of its attractiveness and very affordable price - I was not disappointed! Upon receiving it, I picked it up and played it very easily. Note, however, that I was already familiar with rim-blown flutes, including one that has a quena embouchure. If you are new to rim-blown flutes, you will have to invest time and have plenty of patience - it could take days for you just to get any sound out of it. I do not know how this compares to a "professional" quena, but I am not a "professional" player so it does not matter. ... show more

  • Great, with a Decorative Downside
This seems to be a well-crafted flute. I heard some say that you should check to see if the inside is smooth. This flute has a rough inside and I'm not sure if this detracts from its sound quality. Though the wood of the flute is beautiful and has a great finish, the decorative stripes on it are not strips but are only formed by wrapping a nylon-like translucent thread. I didn't even handle this flute on a daily basis and they came loose and came off in a matter of days. Still, it is a beautiful instrument and economical, while there may be others that only cost a little less but are actually "toys". I don't think you'd be going wrong by purchasing this flute if this is your beginner instrument. ... show more

  • Great quality Quena at an afforadable price!
Beautifully made quena in the key of G (sol), at a great price. The papers that come with it only give finger placement for one octave and don't show a note chart, but G is (sol), so just take it up from there. You can look up quena finger placement for more octaves and accidentals online (Pinterest, Google images, etc..). YouTube also has instructional videos as well as clips of people playing many classic and current songs on different types of quenas. If you new to the quena, you may have difficulty creating a clear resonance or even any resonance at all if you are unfamiliar with the mouth placement and how to blow. You have to direct the airflow across the blade so that the air gets bisected by the mouth piece going half into the flute and half outside of it. Placement of the flute at the chin as well as the angle you hold the flute at may have to be altered and adjusted as well as how loose or tightly you direct the airflow (looser flow equals lower sound, tighter air stream results in a higher pitched sound even with same finger placement. Basically, air flow can change the octave you are in.). Don't get discouraged! oui may get it right away, or get it but not be consistent. It can take a month or more to get truly proficient creating a clear resonance on the quena with any consistency, but it's well worth it! The finger holes are very large as well and are easier to cover if you hold your fingers at approximately a 45 degreee angle to the quena body rather than a 90 degreee angle and use the pads of your finger, not the tips, to cover the holes and get a good seal. This is a great quality Quena at an afforadable price and well worth the patience and practice to play it. I can also recommend a Native American Flute by Grey Fox in A# Minor (from Amazon) which has an open hole mouth piece that you simply blow into and smaller finger holes. Both are amazing for the quality and price! ... show more

  • Great wooden flute for a *very* reasonable price
I have a wide variety of flutes but, due to some recent medical problems, I can no longer turn my head adequately to properly play my transverse flutes. I have a Shakuhachi vertical head joint being built for my classic flute so I can get back to playing but I got impatient and started looking for a flute I could play now. I stumbled across this Novica Quena, which has a very similar embouchure to the Japanese Shakuhachi flute and, for this price figured I couldn't go too far wrong. I received my Quena yesterday and spent the evening playing it. The tone is warm, the intonation is spot on. This is an amazing value for such a quality musical instrument. The Novica Quena uses a large bore with a smaller end hole to improve intonation across all three octaves similar to the tapered bore of a classic flute. The hole pattern is the same as a penny whistle or simple flute with the addition of a thumb hole on the underside. Surprise! The thumb hole adds some clarity to the highest note in the first octave but, after you practice a bit to polish your intonation at octave changes, you can just leave the thumb hole closed and play it with the same fingerings as a simple flute. All flute cross fingerings work as you expect to play sharps and flats. I don't know why but I was loath to leave the house this morning without it. Maybe I'll sneak down to my car at lunch time and get in some practice. P.S. The holes on this quena are quite large, which makes for a big sound but could present a problem for kids or other small fingered players. ... show more
