Praise for Arie de Keyzer's Keyed Flute
'The wood grain is as smooth as the tone of the flute, and it sounds really great in the higher octave!' - Justin. F 
Superior Tonewood 
African Blackwood is the tonewood of choice for top Irish flute players and flute makers. This dense hardwood offers a full bodied resonance and produces a strong, powerful tone.  
Caring for Your Irish Wooden Flute:
Always warm up before playing.
Dry your wooden flute thoroughly after playing to prevent trapped moisture distorting and warping the wood. 
Always take the flute apart after playing and when storing, this takes pressure off the tenons. 
If in a particularly dry climate, lightly oil the bore of the flute, but no more than once a month as over-oiling can cause cracks.
Use cork grease on the cork lapping to allow for ease of movement.
Never pull the flute when disassembling, rather twist each part backwards and forwards and gently coax it off.
Try to avoid very dry conditions and do not leave the flute in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.

Lovely flute, really nice tone. I've had no struggles with notes. Playing tunes with my partner, (who plays concertina) we agree the tuning is good !, thank you.

Bought for wife My wife's family oriented from Ireland. She is learning to play the flute so I decided to get her a Irish flute. As it's her only wooden flute I didn't know it required special care. I ended up buying a maintenance kit after but would have liked to get it with the flute. Minor issue but maybe people ussually buying these know what they need. She loves her flute.

My Arie de Keyser 3-keyed flute arrived earlier than expected. The wood grain is as smooth as the tone of the flute, and it sounds really great in the higher octave! Now, all I need to do is work on the hard D. A nice whistle was included as well. Didn't expect that one! Appreciate the service.
