Our Golden Eagle flute in the key of "F#" minor (440 Hz) features our 2024 body design. It has a a haunting, ethereal musical voice that touches the heart and the spirit. It is the deepest musical key in our mid-tone flute series, which is often appealing to those who gravitate towards a bass-like musical voice.
