Got this Queno G tuned solid mahogany flute on ebay for an awesome price. I'ts going to take some finesse to get it to sound good. Hope I can learn it. Lots of great tutorials on YouTube...not much else out there.
If I end up not enjoying blowing into this sucker, I'm hoping I can install a tenor sax mouthpiece. Also, I have somewhat small fingers for a guy and covering all those large holes (pretty well spaced out) is hard. A real "impulse buy"
The notch is supposed to be easier to play than a kaval or ney, which are just an open ended tube that you have to manage the embouchure on. It is doable, but not that easy at all and indeed, like most things in music, a trick.
