Simple System 6-key Concert Flute to Low D - Pratten Style

This expertly built Pratten-style Irish flute is modeled after the powerful 19th-century designs of Robert Sidney Pratten, renowned for their rich tone and projection. Crafted from Olive wood, it captures the powerful, reedy tone prized in classic Irish and folk flute traditions.

The flute features a tuning slide headjoint for precise pitch adjustment and six solid brass keys for C, B♭, G♯, F (long), F (short), and D♯, all fitted with leather pads and steel springs for smooth, responsive action. The imitation ivory rings add a touch of period elegance while protecting the wood ends from wear and cracking.
