Tuning
Our flutes are tuned with real care and attention to detail — but a wood flute is a living thing, and a few simple things shape the pitch you'll actually hear.
What Tuning Means
Every flute is tuned to a specific key — A, D, F#, and so on. The key sets the lowest note (all holes covered) and shapes the whole voice of the instrument. Higher keys like E or F# sound brighter and more intimate; lower keys like Low D or Low A carry a deeper, more resonant tone; mid-range keys like A or G sit between. There's no "best" key — it comes down to the sound you're drawn to and what feels right in your hands. Every flute plays a pentatonic scale — five primary notes, intentionally simple and forgiving, so almost any combination sounds good together. You're making music from the first breath, not practicing scales.
