Our Preservation Merlin flute in the key of high 'C' minor (440 Hz) is handcrafted from a single piece of Aromatic Cedar wood, which is a softwood that gives the flute a warm, full musical voice. Because of it's length the Merlin 'C' is is very easy to play.
The Merlin 'C' is the highest octave flute that we make in the key of 'C'. It's tuned to the Pentatonic key of 'C' minor, and it can also be played in the Relative Major Diatonic scale in the key of 'E'. This flute approximately 15.5 inches (39 cm) in length.
This is a six hole flute, which comes with a leather hole cover that can be used to close the third hole from the top (as seen in the picture) to make learning to play very easy. The hole cover can easily be removed.
