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

"Hermoisima - Aboslutely Beautiful"
If I have one thing I love collecting, its 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.

"Phenomenal Craftsmanship"
This Jacaranda flute is an immediate hit. Everything you know about commercially sold flutes is erased when you hold Mr. Tiros flute in your hands. The smooth finish, the weight, the color, and sound are gorgeous. If you manage to produce sounds from the ute youll notice the sounds come off more crisp than cheap flutes. The flute comes in a beautifully sewn pouch for storage, protection, and travel. This is a lovely gift for anyone.
