Island Flutes Bamboo Series [A4] Native American-Style Flute

Island Flute Bamboo A4

This flute was recommended to me as an acceptable flute for small hands. It works fine, and as many others have said, does not wet out quickly. I think of my flute as a little filly, who shakes her head, swishes her tail, occasionally gives a little hop, and then settles down for a smooth and lovely sounding ride. When I move beyond beginner I’m sure she will give a very consistent ride. I’m very happy with my flute.

Unique Flute

I've had difficulty finding an affordable flute in the key of A that I like the sound of. Most of the time, I don't resonate with this key for Native flutes. However, I'm happy to report that this Island Bamboo flute has a unique enough quality and sweet voice, that I feel I've found a Key of A flute that I can genuinely appreciate and enjoy playing. The sound effects from bamboo set it apart from wood flutes, and that seems to lend to its uniqueness. Compared to other flutes I own, this flute does not have a lot of back pressure (and I prefer back pressure), but I am not struggling to adapt to it. Every flute I've ever owned has its own idiosyncrasies that need to be learned, and it's not hard to figure out how to work with this one. Also, it does not easily wet out and that is remarkable. Overall, I am happy with this purchase and satisfied with the sound.

Sweet Sound

I bought these in all four keys for their sound quality. The bamboo sound is sweet and clear, even at the higher registers, and the flutes are very light weight and easy to play for small hands. Very nicely made and appointed. I'm happy. Thanks to Jonny for getting great flutes.
