The Spirit Flute 440 Hz Traditional Bass flute in the key 'B' minor is handcrafted from Spanish Cedar, a softwood that gives the flute a deep and rich musical voice, with warm high notes, and firm low notes. The versatility of this flute allow it to be played as a lead instrument, or as a bass undertone. The short mouthpiece is convenient for travel, it provides ample back-pressure to accentuate clarity on the higher register notes and minimizes moisture buildup. The 25.0 inches (63.5 cm) in length makes this one our their shortest bass flutes. High Spirit Flutes are sealed with non-toxic oils, which gives them a warm, resonant, and full voice. We recommend this flute for those with larger hands or those with previous woodwind instrument experience.
