Choroi Quinta Pentatonic Flute – Cherrywood, 440 Hz – No Tone Block

A First Wooden Pentatonic Flute for Grades 1–2

The Choroi Quinta Cherrywood Pentatonic Flute is a handcrafted wooden flute for Grades 1–2, with a warm, clear tone well suited to early musical experiences.

Cherrywood is denser than maple or pearwood, giving the flute a more centered, defined sound with added depth while remaining gentle and responsive for young players. Its no-toneblock design supports relaxed breathing and natural sound formation as children begin exploring melody, listening, and tone.

Tuning and Orientation 

This cherrywood pentatonic flute is available in one configuration only:

• 440 Hz tuning
• Right-handed orientation

👉 Please double-check these details before purchasing.

If you are looking for a 432 Hz pentatonic flute, please see our maple or pearwood Quinta models. For a left-handed pentatonic flute, please see our pearwood Quinta model.

Because wooden wind instruments are not sealed and cannot be hygienically sanitized without damaging the wood, all wooden wind instruments are final sale once sold. This policy helps preserve the integrity of our instruments and the health and safety of our customers.

Pentatonic Scale and Musical Range

This flute plays the pentatonic scale:
d'' – e'' – g'' – a'' – b'' – d''' – e'''

The pentatonic scale contains no half steps, making it especially harmonious and forgiving. This allows children to play freely and musically while developing confidence, listening skills, and a sense of inner balance.

Caring for a Wooden Flute

Regular oiling is an essential part of caring for a wooden flute. Oiling nourishes the wood, helps preserve resonance and tonal warmth, and protects the flute from drying over time—especially during the first year of playing.

For this reason, many families choose to include flute oil when purchasing their child’s first wooden flute.

Wooden flutes should be oiled only with Choroi flute oil or organic jojoba oil. Oils formulated for metal flutes are not appropriate for wooden instruments and can harm the wood.

Care guidelines:

• Oil the flute 1–2 times per month using Choroi flute oil or organic jojoba oil
• Use a cotton cloth with flute oil
• Swab the inside with the included wooden swab and leather after each use to remove moisture
• Store the flute in its cotton bag, away from heat and extreme dryness

A well-cared-for flute will deepen in tone and beauty and can be enjoyed—and passed down—for many years.
