<p> This study investigates the <i>siku</i> of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela; and the <i>shakuhachi</i> of Japan and their effect on Western classical flute repertoire. By exploring the histories, construction of the flutes, and the role each flute has in its society, a better understanding of these flutes and the cultural aesthetic in which they work will be achieved thus creating a higher level of authenticity when performing these pieces. The pieces being surveyed are <i>Flute 3.2.4.</i> by Adriana Verdie and <i>Nesting of Cranes</i> by Wil Offermans. Notes on technique of what the author found useful when playing these pieces are found at the end of each chapter.</p>
