To understand how a flute works, we need to look at some acoustic properties of the flute (alone, without a player), and some properties of the sound it produces (when played).

Making a Quena:
note that quena making is not a science. The method presented here does not guarantee an excellent instrument. There is no standard. Precision is not a requirement.
But if you make one, you can make more, and improve each new one.
The following hole positions for a quena in G are patterned after an excellent Peruvian quena that has the name Roger inscribed at the foot. The hole positions for the quena in F were extrapolated from those of the kena in G; I have made several good F quenas -- both bamboo and CPVC -- with these extrapolation. The hole positions for a quenacho in D are patterned after a Peruvian quenacho of uncertain origin. This quenacho has a small inside diameter as quenachos go, and its diameter is only slightly greater than the diameter of irrigation pipe ...
You can make a quena out of any kind of tube: bamboo, cane, wood, metal, plastic, clay -- even bone. The material may have a little effect on the sound of the instrument, but, whatever the material, the flute you make will still have the distinctive and beautiful sound of a quena.
I do not have ready access to supplies of bamboo or cane, and I do not have the equipment to turn wood into tubes, so I make my quenas from local materials -- the plastic pipe I find at a nearby home improvement store.
The most readily available plastic tubing and the most easily worked is PVC or CPVC water pipe from your local hardware or home improvement store or from internet mail-order suppliers, such as www.usplastic.com.

The best and most professional natural saxophones made in Argentina, using bamboo, gourds,
coconuts and horns.
From 1985 we developed and built this instrument, with equal attention to acoustic design and aesthetics. Carefully electronicaly tuned , and with maximum durability. Our saxes have a careful external finish. Their interior is protected
against changes of humidity, frequent in all wind instruments.
Bamboo saxophones consist of segments of bamboo successively larger in diameter. This progression, achieved by trial-and-error, has now been demonstrated by acoustical studies as the most harmonically effective.
The joints are extremely solid and resistant over time.
Our work with mouthpieces led us to use different bamboo types that
give the instrument its own and characteristic sound.
It uses conventional sax reeds, which can be acquired in any good musical store
in the world. They have keys that cover toneholes outside the reach of the fingers. This improves the acoustic design and the fingering
distribution.
The Bamboo sax is not an imitation of brass saxes, it is an instrument
in its own right.
