Dionisio Quilla crafts a beautiful quena flute, an instrument dating to the Inca Empire. Quena means "many-holed object" in the Quechua language. It is said to have entranced birds to soar above its player, which may be no wonder given that early versions the quena were fashioned from condor bone. Quilla crafts this piece from diablo fuerte or yellow wood and paints it by hand. It includes a bright fabric carrying case.

"Put to use out of the box!"
This flute was a gift to our son who isnt inhibited to try playing any musical instrument-the Christmas wrapping hadnt been picked up and he was getting familiar with his new instrument.

"Homemade Music"
Each year at Christmas I look at the NOVICA catalog for gifts especially from Peru. I have no idea yet how this flute sounds BUT it looks elegant and hand made just the kind of gift I love to give.

"Beautiful craftsmanship. A boys treasure trove for life!"
Value that goes beyond the price tag. Peace to all the artisans who bring the natural beauty of life (unlike the radical new electronic toys that even babies are accustomed to). Thank you for bringing joy to the world.

"Greatly disappointed!"
Im sorry, but I must say that I am quite disappointed because two of the pipes arrived with large cracks in them. One of the pipes is totally unplayable. I am heartbroken! I will keep this instrument and may be able to fix the pipe that will not play (Im checking with flute makers to learn how to do this), but the whole experience was very disheartening! The bag is lovely, but the instrument is compromised.
