		The quena or kena, traditional flute of the Andes, is about the easiest non-trivial instrument you could make.
		The irrigation pipe works OK as a "quena en MI" (that's how my Bolivian friends call the standard quena whose lowest tone is G, MI being the relative minor of G), but is more suitable for a quena en re (useful for Ecuadorian music) or for a quenacho (en SI).
		You now have a quena which probably plays, but plays out of tune, and is generally low in pitch (flat).
