Here's a flute I made from a bamboo tiki torch. It combines features of quenas and shakuhachi. There are six finger holes on top and a thumb hole on the bottom. The mouthpiece resembles the Japanese utaguchi "lip" rather than the Andean "U" shaped notch. The scale of the instrument is unique due to the fact I positioned the finger holes to fit my hands, rather than to play a particular scale.
