I’m loving the rich warm tone and ability to “bend” notes . Has added a new dimension to playing prophetic worship in church . Love it !

The flute is very attractive looking and actually has a very nice tone. However, the tuning is quite bad. The Ds are very sharp and the Cs and F#s are very low. The difference between the middle D and adjacent the C# is almost a whole tone! The metal ring around the head joint also appears to be wearing away already and the foot joint seems a bit wobbly. It was in the sale though so maybe that’s why… The delivery was quick

Hi Josh, Sorry to hear about the tuning issues, we have sent another flute and I personally checked the tuning. Please let us know how you get on with it. Kind regards

This is a beautiful instrument, with wonderful tone. The case is really nice too. It's not like a modern flute, so covering the holes completely takes some getting used to - but that's just part of the learning process. The online lessons are very helpful.

The quality is okay, but the Intonation is weak.

Hi Daniel, do keep in mind wooden flutes respond differently than metal or plastic ones. With a light, steady airstream the tuning sits right where it should. If it still doesn’t meet your expectations, you’re covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Just email service@mcneelamusic.com to start the process.

Greetings from Mayo, I have always purchased my fine quality Whistles of differing keys from you and have been quite satisfied with your friendly excellent service. All my life I have wanted to play an Irish wooden flute. My eldest son knowing this, gifted me the gorgeous "cotcuswold flute for my 66 Birthday. The smooth polish & wood grain is striking. Though I am having some problems playing it with my tiny lady hands. The first three notes down I can get fine and the sound is beautiful. But to stretch my fingers I am finding it a struggle and end up with sore hands. . With practice does this get easier? Is there any way I could have some keys added to make it easier for my tiny hands? I really LOVE this flute and want to truly accomplish playing this flute. PLEASE if ye have recommendations to help me? I just want to mention that the wild Irish Bb whistle we purchased from you is fine quality whistle & sounds lovely. All the many whistles I have purchased from ye over the years I love. Thank you for your wonderful service and quality instruments.!

Love the tone of this flute. I’m still learning, but I’m able to get decent sound right off the bat. The case is great too and I love the space to carry my whistles.
