Kestrel high 'E' Walnut & Turquoise

Our Kestrel Flute in the key of high 'E' minor has concert quality sound. Quilted Maple and Black Walnut are both hardwoods that create a tonal musical voice that's clear, bright, smooth and full. This flute is 15-inches (38 cm) long, which makes it ideal for new players as well as beginners.

This flute is the highest octave in the key of "E" minor we make and can also be played in the relative major diatonic scale in the key of "G"

Our high-tone flutes are a great instrument for drum circles because their higher pitch allows them to beautifully stands out among lower-tone instruments.

The compact size of our Kestrel Flutes make them an ideal choice for those wanting to use their flutes for travel or outdoor activities such as hiking or backpacking.  The Kestrel 'E' is approximately 11 inches (28 cm) in length.

This is a 6-hole flute. We cover the 3rd hole from the top, known as the 6th hole, with a leather hole cover so you have the option to play it as a 5-hole flute (which tends to make the learning process easier) or as a 6-hole flute.

We've named this flute after the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) which is one of the smallest and most common falcon birds found in North America.
