Showing all 3 results

The Zen is a transverse flute made of special knotless bamboo, tuned in the consecrated Minor Pentatonic scale of the Japanese Shakuhachi flute.

The Zen Flute follows the concept of ancient bamboo transverse flutes, being inspired by Asian music. The Zen flute is ideal for spontaneous musical creation of simple, soft and meditative melodies, which evoke the Zen oriental atmosphere.

The Zen Flute has medium and high tones, which favors initiation into the world of transverse flutes as it only has five holes. Its power lies in the simplicity that will transport you through the soundscapes of ancient oriental temples.

tunings

The Zen flute is produced in 3 tunings, the smallest flute tuned in F (FA), ideal for a first contact. Next we have tuning in E (MI) and D (RE). As the D-shaped flute is longer and has a more serious sound, with greater spacing between the holes, it is ideal for those who already have experience with transverse flutes.

BAMBOO

The bamboo selected for these flutes is the same Indian bamboo from Bansuri with high acoustic quality, no internodes, perfectly cylindrical and with medium to thin walls. The bamboos are cad in the shade for 6 months, treated and sealed inside and out with Indian shellac to withstand time and variations in humidity and temperature. In addition to protection against fungi.

FINISHES
