quenacho

Quena is the name of the noch flute of south america, Quenacho is the deep variant.

This flutes don't have a mouthpiece like a recorder, but just a noch on the top, where you play. It is a little bit like playing a traversflute and so the sound is similar.

The fingering is traditional with six holes.
