The Preservation Gray Hawk in the key of "B♭" ("A♯") minor (440 Hz) has a distinctive blues quality to its voice and makes a great addition to a collection of the various flute keys. Made from domestic aromatic cedar, a softwood, this wooden flute is sealed with non-toxic oils which give it a warm, resonant and full voice. It is very easy to play making it an ideal instrument for beginners. This flute is approximately 18 inches (46 cm) long. This is a six hole flute. We automatically include a leather hole cover with this flute, which can be used on the third hole from the top of the flute, as seen in the product's images. Covering the third hole from the top makes the flute easier to learn to play. The leather hole cover can easily be untied and removed, giving the flute player the option of playing the instrument as either a five hole flute or a six hole flute.
