The Kestrel ‘F#’ is the highest octave flute made by High Spirits Flutes in the key of ‘F#’ minor, which makes it a great accompaniment to any of the other flutes in the key of ‘F#’.
The high-tone flutes are a great instrument for drum circles because their higher pitch allows them to beautifully stand out among lower-tone instruments.
The compact size of the Kestrel Flutes make them an ideal choice for those wanting to use their flutes for travel or outdoor activities such as hiking or backpacking. The Kestrel ‘F#’ is 15 inches (38 cm) in length.
This is a 6-hole flute. The 3rd hole from the top, known as the 6th hole, is covered with a leather hole cover so you have the option to play it as a 5-hole flute (which tends to make the learning process easier) or as a 6-hole flute.
This flute is named after the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) which is one of the smallest and most common falcon birds found in North America.
