D4 Drone Flute 432 Hz - Exclusive Mystery MULTI-COLOR

Beautiful sound; tough for people of smaller stature.

I am blown away by the sound quality of this instrument, and very pleased with my choice of register and tuning. The company responded promptly to a question about shipping timeline and actually bumped my shipment earlier in the queue when I asked about when I could expect it. Some comments: I'm a woman with what I imagine are about average sized hands and arms. I'm 5'-6". Even with chanter fingers (held straight like playing a bagpipe rather than curved for other instruments), I can't get a good seal on the holes. My arms just aren't long enough to have my hands align perpendicular to the flute. I'm trying different positions, including pressing the flute against my body rather than trying to involve thumbs, but so far, it's not comfortable at all. I wonder whether an angled mouthpiece might help smaller people play this instrument? Or whether putting the holes on the edge of the flute instead of the flat front might be easier to hold? I absolutely LOVE the drone aspect of the flute, and I'd totally go for a three pipe flute in my next (smaller) purchase. Build quality is excellent - solid, great sound, and joints fit tightly while still being disassemblable. Regarding purchase experience, I wish there was production tracking available, or at least the ability to check the web site to see where you were in the production process. My delivery arrived via Amazon, which was quite surprising!

Plays great! I love these flutes, they sound wonderful, and they look great in two time colors. Fast shipping to boot.

Took over 2 weeks to arrive. 4 days to reply to my email asking why at 11 days and still not shipped. Arrived assembled wrapped in bubble wrap in a plastic sleeve, damaged. I want to see this company succeed but they have some real issues to work out.
