I have a strong feeling this flute will be one of those I just MUST PURCHASE... 😍 There's just nothing that compares to andean music. It just has something special.... Let's call it *SPIRIT* 💜💙🌌
I've been given a Quena as a present but I never knew how it was called and had a hard time finding it or trying to play it. I FINALLY found out and I'm surprised to see so many good tutorials about it!
I love the Quena and just started learning it 7 months ago. I started with a beginner Rosewood and now I have a bamboo model. You and your flute sound great!! I'd like to learn how to add reverb like you here, but I'm not there yet with making videos:)
Those that have mastered the quena really are fascinating to watch and listen to. It is an amazing instrument in the hands of a truly dedicated player. I just have lots of fun with it. Erik
Say more about placing the flute on the lip. Any more words to describe how to place the lips, how to breath etc would help. I can rarely make it sound, the fingering will help after I can consistently find a sound. thanks
@@greenman5255 hahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahahahaha... I wonder if kevin costner would find himself on some bleachers in it
If anyone could please help - when I play my quena, only the first three holes actually work. Having my fingers covering the last 3 holes doesn't change the sound whatsoever from leaving them uncovered. Any advice?
Make sure the back hole is covered. Make sure you are lifting the flute upwards, to keep a good connection. Do you see a tiny pin hole? or crack? Some glue will help.
@@ErikTheFlutemakerCom no holes or cracks to speak of. The quena looks in perfect condition. Nice and straight etc. Is this likely a technique issue and I should persist or a fault in the quena? Thanks
@@uninsulatedshrimp5518 is it one of mine? if so, it works. I play them all through the making and pick the best one when I ship. Are you puckering? you shoul d see a line in the soft grin not a hole.
It sounds good however what's up with the background tuba interference?? Sounds a bit like an elephant fart in the middle of a beautiful song. Not nice.

Beautiful, haunting sound.
What a beautiful sounding flute! I love the heart and soul of this flute and Andean music :) Thank you.
I have your quena flute in G, and I love it. Erik, it is great to see you back making videos again. No one does it like you!
Eric, you are a treasure.
Gorgeous sound! Thanks so much for showing us this~
There are a lot of tutorial videos but I felt like this was actually helpful

"...I'm not a master of it." - and then he goes on to knock your socks off!
*Spoiler Alert:*
He does that every time 😊👌💕
True haha he’s amazing. But I’ve seen guys play the Quena well into three octaves. So I know what he means. XD

A good example of a master quena player would be sergio checho cuadros from Peru. He has quite a few videos on youtube!

You’re the best. If somehow there was a way to be your student...there must be a way
Plant a bamboo forest in your back yard and...he will come...

prove DO in 3rd upscale or octava and if it does not work its cause the kind of flute that you have, its a souvenir
And then he disappears back into the forest
