The Kestrel Flute in the key of D minor is a compact, handcrafted instrument crafted from aromatic cedar, a softwood known for its warm resonance and full, brilliant voice. Tuned in D minor, it also allows for the playing of the relative diatonic scale in F major.
Thanks to its high pitch, the Kestrel stands out clearly in percussion circles or in ensembles with lower-pitched instruments. It is also particularly versatile for accompanying other instruments, such as penny whistles, which often share the same reference pitch.
At 38 cm long, this lightweight and compact flute is perfect for those looking for an instrument to take with them on hikes, trips, or outdoor activities. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a bright, portable flute.
The instrument has six holes, but comes with a leather binding to cover the third hole from the top (sixth hole), making it easier to play even for beginners. The binding can be easily removed to convert to a six-hole configuration at any time.
