First off, I'm a beginner with these instruments, so keep that in mind. This was my second flute from I Am Sound, with the first being the much smaller D5 pocket drone. This flute is much larger than the D5 and also harder to play. It requires more breath and the holes are larger and spaced further apart, so they're harder to cover up properly. All that being said, the sounds you can make with this thing are wonderful. Deep, loud, resonate tones that you really feel. It's a slower and more methodical instrument than the D5. I often find myself doing speedy solos on the D5, but the A3 sounds wonderful just holding a note and letting it build and resonate. There's a lot of breath work involved with this bigger flute but it's really fun. It wouldn't be my go to choice if I was only going to have one flute, but it's still a really interesting piece to have in the collection.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review.
We really appreciate you describing your experience, especially as a beginner exploring different flutes. You're absolutely right, the A3 is a very different instrument compared to the D5 Pocket Drone Flute. The larger size, wider hole spacing, and increased breath requirement do make it more demanding, but we're glad to hear you're enjoying the deep, resonant tones and the slower, more meditative way it invites you to play.
It means a lot to us that you've found it to be a meaningful addition to your collection, even if it's not your everday go-to. Thank you again for your kind words and for sharing your journey with our instruments, feedback like this is incredibly valuable to us.
