Interval Flutes, Pear Wood, 432 Hz
FIRST FLUTE
These flutes are often purchased for young children in Kindergarten or first grades, although anyone can play them, regardless of age.
These interval flutes have only one finger hole and two notes in a fourth or fifth interval. They are some of the easiest flutes to play, especially for young children, and can be introduced even earlier than first grade to get them excited and ready for a first grade flute later on.
The flutes can be played in pairs or groups and in rhythmically melodic patterns. Differently tuned flutes increase the combination of tones, extending the playing of the basic melodies in groups
TUNED TO 432 HZ
These flutes are tuned to 432 Hz and are a great first flute instrument for children from older kindergarteners, first graders and above. For the same flute tuned to 440 Hz, go here.
IS YOUR CHILD ENROLLED IN A WALDORF SCHOOL?
If your child is enrolled in a Waldorf school, the interval flute is often the first flute they are exposed to, sometimes in Kindergarten (informally) and in first grade (formally), with a pentatonic flute following shortly behind. They will continue to play their interval and pentatonic flutes in grade two, as well. Some parents introduce children to the interval flutes towards the end of Kindergarten at home.

WHAT DO I GET

- a Cotton flute bag
- a cleaning swab
- manual
WHAT DO I STILL NEED TO GET
- Flute Oil
- Cotton Cloth
You’ll need to oil your flute when you receive it and then keep it oiled frequently. This prevents the wood from drying out and enhances the tonal quality of the flute.
The oil should be either Choroi flute oil or organic jojoba oil. Any other flute oil is not made for pear wood and may ruin your flute!
The cotton cloth can be any lint free cloth that can be partially torn or cut into strips. The cotton cloth is to rub the oil on and buff the outside of the flute. Tearing part of the cloth into strips is so you can place the strips through the wooden swab and spread oil inside the flute (do not use the leather swab with the oil as it’s for removing moisture).

CLEANING AND CARE
Clean with child-safe organic jojoba oil or Choroi flute oil using lint free cotton. We recommend oiling your flute at least once or twice a month to maintain its tonal quality and keep the wood in top condition.
Use the leather swabs every time you play to remove moisture that accumulates inside the flute from your breath.
