High Spirits flutes are professional quality and many are used in concert venues.
All High Spirits flutes are constructed with a uni-body design, which means that they are crafted out of a single piece of wood (instead of gluing two halves together as is so common). The tolerances on each flute are precise and measurable to thousandths of an inch. After the hole pattern and air passages are created each flute is hand sanded, buffed and hand burnished and then sealed with a specially formulated non-toxic hardening oil for durability and clarity of sound. They do not use any polyurethane's on the flutes. Each flute is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments. All these flutes are in the Minor Scale. These flutes are tuned to 440Hz

All the flutes are 6 hole and come with a leather tie that easily converts them into a 5 hole flute. When comfortable, just remove the leather tie and experience the use of the 6 hole flute. When used as a 5-hole flute it is in the pentatonic scale. When the 6th hole under the leather tie is exposed the flute will play the relative major key in both the Diatonic and Chromatic scales.
The mid-range and high-range flutes play 1 & 1/3 octaves. The bass flutes are a one-octave instrument.
