The 'quena' is the Andean version of the flute. It has a wide range of sounds which can evoke sadness as well as happiness. Originally constructed of animal bones or bamboo shoots, the quena today is made of wood. The quena also varies in size and pitch. The smallest is the 'quenilla' and the largest is the 'quenacho'.
