If I have one thing I love collecting, it's flutes. And this quena is by far my favorite. The instrument itself is even more gorgeous than the pictures gives it credit for, the carving is almost spiritual, and the fabric case is mesmerizing. I know it sounds like hyperbole but I cannot express how impressed I am by the quality. And the sound? Professional, warm, and deep. It actually feeeeels good to play it. Te juro que esta hermosa, sin mentira.

I am a music teacher and performer and was introduced to the quena a year or so ago. I finally bought one. The quena was received within delivery window. Inside the shipping box, the outer wrapping was so beautiful I didn't want to open it. I did, of course, but will save it and am happy to display it as well. The quena's case is woven fabric but also padded on the inside to help protect from slight bumps. It is also beautifully crafted. Inside that case, the quena itself is also gorgeous in look, feel and tone. Once able to form a correct embouchure (a quick YouTube search for ""quena embouchure"" helped, as it's different from a transverse flute embouchure), I was quickly able to play it in tune. I'm looking forward to developing consistent tone and technique on this fine instrument and am excited to find opportunities to perform on it.

I just received the Quena I order from Mr. Tito and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. As others have stated, it was very nicely wrapped, so you knew there was going to be something wonderful inside. Now all I have to do is learn how to play it. However, if I never learn to play it we can just put it on display. It is truly a work of art. Thank you
