Pentatonic

Pentatonic scale

A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five pitches per octave in contrast to a heptatonic (seven note) scale such as the major scale. Pentatonic scales are very common and are found all over the world, including Celtic folk music, Hungarian folk music, West African music, African-American spirituals, American folk music, Jazz, American blues music and rock music, Sami joik singing, children's songs, the music of ancient Greece[2][3] and the Greek traditional music and songs from Epirus, Northwest Greece and the music of Southern Albania, the tuning of the Ethiopian krar and the Indonesian gamelan, Philippine Kulintang, melodies of Korea, Malaysia, Japan, China, India and Vietnam (including the folk music of these countries), the Andean music, the Afro-Caribbean tradition, Polish highlanders from the Tatra Mountains, and Western Classical composers such as French composer Claude Debussy. The pentatonic scale is also used on the Great Highland Bagpipe.

Testimonials

For the 5 feet. i like very much the comfort for fingering. The finger holes are really fantastic. Very comfortable and well designed. Blow hole too.
Very easy to reach the second octave and i can also reach correctly half of the third. Very easy. Need very little breathing to produce nice sounds... Extremely responsive (sometime, i unintentionnally overblow to the third octave... first time with a 5 foot flute for me) a pure joy to play.
So, she is really perfect for me, thanks a lot to you and Nicole.
For the egyptian, it is very new for me and pretty stange... nearest holes from emboucher are very near each other. Very unusual for me, and lowest hole is very far. That give a very mysterious sound. Fantastic. Very easy, powerful and pretty interesting to play. And the decoration is marvellous. One more time, Nicole did a fantastic work. I think that she go better and better. And this sort of two colors for the bamboo... i like very much.
The tiger and the bird are fantastic.
So,in conclusion, i am very, very happy by those two flutes. Waiting now impatiently for the kokin.
All the very best for you, Nicole and your mother,
Very friendly,
José, France
