This Signature White Tail Hawk "high B" has such a bright and happy voice. That's the way my wife and I describe it. It's great that Odell does the product demo videos on line; they help a lot. But you don't realize just how wonderful the sounds of these Signature flutes are until you hear them "live" in your own setting. The finger holes are just slightly larger than the Traditional High Spirits series, but that and the 1" bore are probably why the sound and responsiveness are so good. And it's such a good looking instrument. We have this and the Signature Looking Wolf F# on a stand over the fireplace mantle. Highly recommend both flutes. Plus High Spirits customer service is outstanding. Melissa C has been so helpful in answering all of our questions in a very thorough, speedy and courteous way!
