Notes
Choroi instruments are designed to make pentatonic music in groups. The distinctive features of the Choroi flutes are their mild, light and flexible tone and a correspondingly simple, sculpted form. They are made of wood, each in one piece. The mellow tone makes them especially suitable for group playing.
The Interval and Pentatonic Flutes were created to fill the need for high quality wind instruments in pedagogical work with younger children. With their simple scales they are ideal for improvisation, individually or in a group.
Other flutes at lower pitches are available. There are also Alto (F) and Tenor (C) Flutes, as well as an A Flute (slightly larger than the C Flute) and a solo D Flute.
