An exceptional choice for serious players seeking a finely crafted 8-keyed flute, this handcrafted instrument is modeled after the powerful 19th-century designs of Robert Sidney Pratten, celebrated for their rich tone and excellent projection.
Keys include: Thumb Bb - long C - pinky G# - long F - short F - pinky D# - C# and C. A screw adjuster is installed for the C# and C keys to ensure accurate balance between them. Keys are casted from hard nickle, plated silver, fitted with steel springs and leather pads.
Crafted from olive wood and tuned to modern concert pitch, it delivers the powerful, reedy tone prized in traditional Irish and folk music, offering a rich and soulful playing experience.
Finely crafted cocobolo wood rings lend a sense of sophistication and timeless class. A tuning slide headjoint and a screw adjustable stopper offer precise control for accurate pitch adjustment and refined tuning.
Its open-hole design with a C foot joint offers excellent balance, responsive control, and effortless ornamentation, as favored by traditional Irish flute players.
Each flute comes with a fingering chart, care instructions, extra set of key pads, and a plush-lined wooden case for safe storage and transport.
