“Absolutely lovely instrument, beautiful and in tune right out of the case. The quality is stunning; everything I would expect from a professional, well-crafted instrument and more. The tone is resonant and rich, with a strong low register. I was absolutely delighted to unpack this flute and immediately put it to use. I can't say enough how beautiful the sound is, and though it is a bit tougher to play than my older Irish flute, because the keys are slightly farther apart and I have small hands, it is well worth the investment and short adjustment period. After I played for a couple days and my fingers adjusted, the speed and ease of performing jigs and reels on this flute was incredible. It is surprisingly easier to play than my older model, and the ornamentals felt effortless. The case it came with is a lovely added bonus as well, my old flute case didn't have a humidity gauge in it and I was delighted to see one here, along with the space for my tin whistles.”

“Having now carefully played-in this new flute I can say that it will be wonderful. The sound throughout is strong but sweet. The top notes just sing out without effort and the tuning is excellent. It is also easy to play quietly when required, e. g. in slow airs. Agility in faster dance music is also there with ease. The flute is beautifully made and feels comfortable in the hands and the price is very reasonable. The flute I have has no keys, which I prefer. My only very small personal concern is the large spacing on the bottom hand which forces me to use a piper's grip as I have small hands. I will get used to that. Apart from that, I'd recommend this maker's instruments to anyone of any standard.”

“I could not be happier. It has a great reedy lower octave and a clean clear upper octave. I’m looking forward to playing it more.”

“A beautiful flute. Excellent rich mellow tone . Strong low D and quick response. If I cannot make beautiful music with it , it is due to my poor playing. I had a great experience with Paraic from Irish Musik who was extremely helpful . Go raibh mile maith agaibh go leir Paideen”

“I recently received the Arie De Keyzer Blackwood flute and it is excellent. Very well balanced and intonated. It produces a strong even tone but more importantly is very sweet. Hard to beat for the price and quality. (And by the way, you can contact Arie directly on his website. He is very responsive and approachable). Highly recommended flute and craftsman!”
