Finely crafted”

I prefer this size over the traditional Japanese shakuhachi for easier handling; very nice woven carrying case.

Melodious and Beautiful”

Over the years, I have collected many flutes. This one is exceptional. The wood is perfectly suited for its purpose and lovingly crafted. The holes are just the right size and spacing to achieve the notes effortlessly (without having to partially cover one to hit the true pitch). I got two and a half octaves from it right from the start. The tone is resonant and haunting (in the best way). I absolutely love this flute! The bag that comes with it is vibrant and offers good everyday protection.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

For generations, the Tito family legacy has helped to preserve the musical traditions of the Peruvian Andes. The art of crafting musical instruments to produce the haunting music indigenous to this region has been passed from father to son. Benito is now an elder master. He embraces every opportunity to teach younger artisans the vast array of skills required to handcraft a musical instrument and proudly incorporates local materials, such as jungle bamboo, into his designs.

Confronting Adversity

Confronting Adversity

Now in his seventies, Benito has had cataract surgery but now faces glaucoma. Work is more difficult for him but he refuses to give up. The income from the sales of his musical instruments help him care for his wife who can no longer care for herself, pay for his grandchildren’s education and maintain his dignity. He is grateful that the orders for his work have increased since joining Novica.

Job Creator

Whenever Benito has a large order or many orders to fill at the same time, he hires other craftspeople to help him. He especially likes to give work to those who are from his hometown of Puno - he likes to be able to share the income this work brings with others in his community.
