This quena is handcrafted using the best bamboo (Pleioblastus simonii) and other woods. It is fine-tuned using electronic tuners to guarantee professional sound. The mouthpiece is cut at an angle to allow for the best acoustics. Instrument grade lacquer is used to protect the instrument. Mouthpiece This quena flute has an internal circumference of approximately 0.7 inches in order to obtain greater sonority for lower notes. Its mouthpiece is made of a very hard wood obtained from the buds of evergreen pines (Araucaria). Some of these buds are hundreds of years old. This wood is as hard as marble. The flute also has a beautiful inlay made of pinecones. Flute maker Angel Sampedro del Rio lives in Argentina and has been making bamboo instruments since 1985. Angel has been a member and secretary of the Argentine Association of Instrument Makers and has won numerous awards. Throughout his career he has participated in a number of expos and has written articles and collaborated in acoustic instrument research.

Beautiful and plays great!
The quena that I received was a work of art! It not only looks great but plays very well. Customer service was excellent. They had a quena in stock that had a different design than the one pictured and they contacted me to ask if it would be acceptable. I received my quena very quickly and was very pleased. Would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Beautiful and eye-catching!
Beautiful workmanship. The inlay is really eye-catching. I only wish I could do it justice by being able to play it properly. I am woefully lacking any talent for playing it. Perhaps with enough time, I will get the hang of it. There are some good videos showing how to play the Quena flute, but it's not the same as one-on-one lessons. But in any event, the piece is a work of art, and looks beautiful sitting there begging to be played properly!
