I’ve been making whistles for 20 years, uilleann pipes for 16 years and although I have been repairing flutes for years, and I made a few flutes years ago, these are the first ones that I’m making available for sale. I have a small batch of them in the works and when they’re gone, they’re gone till the next batch.
So I'll offer them for sale as I have some ready rather than having a waiting list.

 

I only use brass in my uilleann pipes and whistle making so I’m using brass for these flutes too. I use African blackwood and Olive wood. The crown is made using an imitation ivory material. The embouchure cut is a tiny bit smaller than some modern flutes so it doesn’t take a huge amount of air so suitable for beginners and experienced players alike. This flute comes with a case, a cleaning brush and a stick of cork grease. If you’re near Dublin you are welcome to visit my workshop to try one too.

Each flute comes with a case, a cleaning brush and a stick of cork grease. I have a buy-it-now in my store but be sure to ask if I have some in stock.
