Robs Andean Quena Flute
A childhood bamboo flute.
The story
I’ve had this weird bamboo flute since I was a kid. I have no idea when or how it actually came into my possession but it’s been with my collection of odd musical instruments for as long as I can remember. As it turns out, it’s actually made from a stalk of sugar cane and originates from the Andes mountains in Peru – go figure! I’ve sampled only one note (D3) but spread the sample (exs file) over the entire keyboard. It can be played as a solo instrument which delivers a rather haunting sound (sample attached) or in chords which delivers a mellotron-isn texture (sample attached)

So beautiful
It´s very nice to have such a clear sound. It works in many genres.
Only one sampled note? I'd never guess!
I can't really believe this is an instrument that has only one sampled note, because it feels amazing to play and to listen to. I immediately came up with some tunes and I was very impressed by it.
Highly recommended!I am not sure why there was no Kontakt label in the thumbnail though - almost ignored it!
simple and beautiful
natural sound and good dynamics.
is very versatile for different musical styles.
thanks for the great work on the flute.
