QUENA of WOOD

 The Quena of wood are more durable over time than those of bamboo, for wear and tear to touch it, by thermal changes, humidity, etc.. 

That is why we look for wood or semi-hard, always choosing woods with striking veins, striking colors, harsh, alien, etc.. 

The Quena of wood are built from a single piece of wood previously stationed, therefore not suffer any physical change, hence no alteration in his pitch to thermal changes, pressure or humidity. It is a musical instrument for life. 

below shows the Quena built in various woods:
