Tweaked Concert Quenacho - Kenacho Flute - Jacaranda with Deluxe Case
The quenacho (kenacho) is a traditional Andean flute commonly used in many areas of traditional Peruvian music. The quenacho produces an exceptionally beautiful sound and has been played by the indigenous tribes of South America and their ancestors for countless generations, once being revered as a sacred icon.
Although originating from the mountains of South America, the quenacho is a favourite of musicians and woodwind players all around the world.
These instruments are made from various materials including bamboo, bone and other rare woods such as Jacaranda and Wayacan.
The six hole quenacho has a musical span of 3 octaves and is a longer, deeper sounding flute than the quena.
The professional concert quenachos you see here are exceptional instruments made from Bolivian Jacaranda, a beautiful wood native to South America.
Concert Tweaked Quenacho
All the flutes sold on Original Artisan are professional instruments and operate at a high standard, but these particular flutes have been specifically ‘tweaked’ by the producers to ensure they are exceptional instruments and perform to the highest possible standard.
These flutes are for the quenacho connoisseur or the flute perfectionist as you might say.
As you can see, they are quite plain and have no frills. A beautifully simple, yet perfect instrument.
This flute was 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 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.
This quenacho is precision concert tuned to the scale of Re Major (D) / Si minor (Bm) and has been ‘tweaked’ for optimum performance.
Measuring 19.75 inches long and 1.25 inches wide, these really are beautiful instruments, each having their own individual characteristics.
