This handcrafted Pratten-style Irish flute is modeled after the powerful 19th-century designs of Robert Sidney Pratten, renowned for their rich tone and projection. It produces a strong, resonant sound across the entire range—from low D down to C—making it ideal for traditional Irish, folk, and session music.
