Keyless Irish Flutes
Resonance Model Blackwood with Silver Rings $570.00
Resonance Model Laminated Wood $320.00
The new “Resonance” Model Flute really honks on low D for that classic, wooden-flute tone that’s rich in harmonics. Dynamic expression is improved overall: can play louder on all notes with better clarity. Notes like E and A hold their own in the rest of the scale due to changes in the embouchure hole, conical bore, and undercut finger holes. Holes #3 and #6 are offset to shorten the reach and make this flute more comfortable to hold than others. A=440, great intonation, medium-sized holes, laser engraving. Internal cork joint serves the purpose of a tuning slide without the danger of cracking as would be the case with a metal liner. Two years in the making, designed by Walt Sweet.
Perfect for Irish Music. Suitable for beginner and expert alike.
Available in color-matched laminated birch wood, African Blackwood with three sterling silver rings and an end cap. Has a beautiful, long-lasting, low-maintenance finish (like its little brother, the Professional Model Fife in High D). Left-hand or zero-offset fingerholes are available on special order.
Our Celtic Flutes, Irish Flutes, Classical Flutes - whatever you choose to call them, are modeled after the best hand-crafted English flutes played by Charles Nicholson or R.S. Pratten in the early 19th century, and today are highly prized by players of Irish Music.

6 Key D Irish flute
Foot for 8 key fluteThe Sweetheart 6-Key Concert Flute is adapted from fine English flutes of the 1800's to be used for Irish performance or re-creation of Victorian-era classical music. Block-mounted sterling-silver keys (Bb, C, G#, F, long F, D#) and rings are influenced by Prowse, and Rudall & Rose; the bore and embouchure, similar to Boosey-Pratten, make it easy to play low D to high B (third register) with an excellent, full tone throughout. From the lined head joint and tuning slide to the finely crafted blackwood and comfortable key work, this is an instrument any flutist would delight in.
