The Kestrel Flute in the key of D minor is a compact, handcrafted instrument crafted from domestic black walnut. This hardwood gives the flute a clear, brilliant tone, further enhanced by a finish with non-toxic natural oils. The body of the instrument is enriched with exquisite turquoise stone inlays, adding a decorative touch and enhancing its value as an object of functional art.
Tuned to 440 Hz, this flute is perfect for playing with other instruments. It can also be used to play the relative major diatonic scale in the key of F major, offering versatility for a variety of musical genres.
Its compact size (38 cm) makes it ideal for travel, hiking, or outdoor use. Thanks to its high pitch, it stands out in drum circles and settings with lower-pitched instruments.
The model includes six holes, but comes with a leather ligature to cover the third hole from the top, allowing it to also be used as a five-hole flute, making it easier for beginners to learn.
Inspired by the small American kestrel, one of the most common in North America, this flute represents lightness, agility and a free spirit.
