Finely crafted

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, it's 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.
