Aymara Transverse - Traverse Flute II - Bone Mouthpiece & Deluxe Case
The traditional Andean traverse flute is the predecessor of the Boehm flute and is an extremely popular instrument among the indigenous tribes of South America. It’s warm tones are widely used in many areas of traditional Peruvian music.
Made from various materials including bamboo, bone and other rare woods such as Jacaranda and Wayacan, the traverse flute has a musical span of 3 octaves and is constructed with either a plain or bone mouth piece.
These professional traverse flutes are exceptional instruments made from Bolivian Jacaranda, a beautiful wood native to South America and were created by a professional Bolivian musician, composer and luthier who has been making instruments, playing and touring South America for over 30 years.
The precision instruments he makes in his workshop are renown around the world.
As with the charangos, classical guitars and all other instruments sold on this site, these flutes are of exceptional quality and should not be confused with other South American souvenir type tourist flutes of substandard quality. Such instruments are manufactured on mass with no attention to sound quality and tuning.
These traverse flutes are precision concert tuned to the scale of Sol Major (G) / Mi minor (Em)
Measuring approx. 19.5 inches long and 0.8 inches wide, these really are beautiful instruments, each encompassing their own individual characteristics.
