Quena is a woodwind instrument made from either Bamboo or wood. Its history dates back to the pre-Inca civilization, making it one of the oldest instruments. Quena flutes typically have six finger holes and one thumb hole, but their most distinctive feature is the U-shaped notch at its blow end. This physical characteristic makes it part of the vertical flute.
