Quinta Pentatonic Wooden Flute without a Tone Block, Cherry Wood

The flute I tried out belongs to our granddaughter. We bought it for her and paid for her tuition at a Waldorf school in Keaau, Hawaii, when she was in first or second grade. I'm an old guitar hack, but enjoy playing some different flutes. I have a fife, a recorder, a tin whistle, and a mini sax. The mini sax is very difficult to get it to play a note. This Choiroi pentatonic flute is as easy to play as the mini sax is hard. And, being pentatonic, you can't blow a bad note. You need to introduce yourself to the fingering position and familiarize with it. Right away you can play soft soothing music. These flutes are made of pear wood, and not cheap plastic. It comes with a carry bag and a cleaning/oiling rod and patch. Linseed oil is suggested to oil both inside and outside of the flute. Another thing that impressed me about this flute is that the people that make these in Sweden are all special needs folks with disabilities. Choroi has made a factory and trained and given these fine people productive jobs. You can see the production of these in a YouTube video. This is the standard flute for Waldorf schools all over the world.

Same flute used at my child's Waldorf school. Clear tune and easy fingering makes for easy playing.

Beautiful tone, well-made, a pleasure to play.
