We recommend people start with an F# midrange flute, either a drone or single. These have a lovely versatile sound are are playable by all hand sizes.

F# is often said to be the most common of all native American style flute keys. This key allows for smaller holes and closer hole distances, making it easy to play. This is an absolute excellent flute to start with if you're not used to playing the wooden flute. It’s an accessible flute for anyone. 

It is a really nice middle tone along the range of instrument keys. It's not too high pitched, nor is it a deep bass flute, a very balanced pitch / tone that plays really well either solo or with other instruments. The perfect tone that sings clearly, yet also has some of the rich lower tones too.

The F note is also related to the heart chakra, and this is certainly felt with these flutes.

Note — The F# single flutes are exactly the same as the F# drone flutes as far as hole placement and ease of playing.
