Very happy with my Spirit flute (E-bass 440Hz). This is my first bass flute. In terms of looks, it scores. Sound, wow! Playability, very comfortable. Could not be more happy, or engaged. My mid-range flutes may not see much play time over the coming days.

This travel - friendly bass flute in its compact size is a must have for those contemplative musical moments we long to create in our daily lives wherever we may be. Its voice is soothing and deep, the color, the feel and the delicious aroma of the Spanish cedar wood bring to the flute the landscape spirit of Arizona. I love this bass flute dearly. Thank you Odell and the High Spirits Team for making these inspiring and beautiful flutes !

I didn’t think I can play a bass flute. This shorter version of the bass flute made it easier for me to enjoy the deeper sounding flutes. I also bought the 432 Spirit Flute in the key of D. As a beginner I recommend these flutes to anyone who have smaller hands and didn’t think they can reach bass flute holes.

To be honest, when I first got this flute and played it indoors, I was a teeny bit disappointed that it didn't seem to have the full range of my other HS traditional flutes. The higher notes felt a little bit breathy to me. However, I do about half my playing outdoors when I stop to relax along my hikes. For some reason, the design of this flute allows me to hold a clear tone even in windy conditions when my other flutes get drowned out--or when they get muted by moisture after a few minutes. The smaller/higher traditional flutes are also great for outdoor use, but the low ones get more easily interfered with by the breezes (unless you can kind of hunch over slightly with your back to the wind). And that low sound is terrific out in the woods or by the sea. This flute seems to be very well-suited to that situation. Of course, if you have the money, big enough breath and hands, and play mostly indoors--I would encourage getting the traditional Condor E or D. If you like a low tone and play a lot outside, this Spirit Flute is a good fit.

This is my second HS flute, and is quickly becoming my favorite. I’m new to fluting, so enjoying playing for longer periods, and this beautiful flute allows that....no wet out issues after a short time like others. It’s so easy to play and sounds so nice, that’s an extra benefit ! Also, the Spanish cedar feels and smells so nice. Great flute, great value..what else do you need. Keep up the good work !

I am an absolute beginner and could immediately elicit their magical sounds. I am so happy with this beautiful flute. This bass flute can also be played easily by female hands. I am surprised how easy it is. I am sure to buy other High Spirit Flutes in the future. I can recommend this flute to anyone who loves the deep, soft tones. Thank you for creating that wonderful instrument and many greetings from Germany. Have a nice christmas time, merry christmas and a great, peacefull and healthy new year. Yours Marion

Bass flutes are among my most favorite kind to play. Unfortunately, most are too bulky to carry around, and for the people whose hands are too small to reach all the bass flute holes, they can't experience the beauty of the flute's voice. LUCKILY...and it was just a matter of time, but I'm glad that High Spirits came out with a new line of bass flutes that deliver the same great quality in design and voice, but in a convenient compact size. I HIGHLY recommend this new line. You will not be disappointed. High Spirits, keep up the great work, and thank you for all the flutes you create.

This new flute sounds great. The same bore diameter as the Condor flutes gives it that same warm tone, but the more compact size makes it easy to play, even when sitting down. The short length and flat profile (with no fetish on top) makes it easy to pack it into a daypack. Now it's easy to take a bass flute on hikes. The cutout area under the mouthpiece clears the chin, so you can bring the flute close in to your body which makes the fingering easier. A little package that packs a big punch. And for a bass flute, the price can't be beat. If you thought you couldn't play a bass flute before, try one of these!

Every Sunday morning I used to stand in front of a large group and play my Condor Bass E minor flute as a lead in to a period of meditation. But I played very carefully and with some nervousness because this large flute was quite a stretch for my hands. And, unfortunately, there were some embarrassing glitches while playing. I have just played my new Spirit Flute Traditiional Bass, which is also in the key of E minor. And what an incredible difference this shorter flute makes for me. So easy to play, and with such a great sound. This is my new performance flute of choice. The finger holes are larger, but with very distinct edges, so I can easily feel when a hole is completely covered. I am playing this flute with much more comfort and confidence. I can highly recommend this flute.
