NOVICA Wooden Andean Quena Flute With Cow Bone Mouthpiece And Carrying Case, Song Of The Andes'

Q: Why does my quena sound like a toy train set horn, you know choo choo, why does it sound like this rather than mystical?

The open note without any holes depressed does resemble a toy train horn. Its only when you learn to play it effectively and work the holes does the sound come to life and sound more 'native'. Just keep practicing and it will sound better

Q: I can’t figure out how to play this

Lots of tutorials on "YouTube." Search for: quena embocadura. My recommendation is to position the instrument about 90 degrees to the mouth. Press to get a good seal between the top of the bottom lip and the "U" opening of the quena; as if you are creating a flattened "O" with your bottom lip. Now blow as if you are spitting seeds at approximately 45 degrees. Modulate your top lip to increase or decrease air flow for the desired sound. I hope this is helpful.

Q: is it a professional one?

if you can play it professionally then yes it is.

Q: What is the key of this flute.. is it bass?

The flute key is G base. It sound deep and beautiful you will be able to play 3 scales after some practice if you will give your heart to it.
