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.

As always the merch arrived very quickly and after a dizi and the Dixon two-headed polymer-intro this was my final commitment to taking the flute as partner to my whistles. This is a really beautiful instrument, very well made and I also like the smell of the coconut-wood quite a lot. Much like the Wild-series, this flute practically seems to play itself and apart from the (for me still) a bit new way to hold an instrument and the weight it is a lot of fun to play and to explore - so much so, that I actually haven't looked into the also ordered handbook yet.
