Introducing the Matte Black Ebony Irish Flute, a limited-edition release that brings together powerful sound and gorgeous design. Crafted from solid Ebony with a sleek matte finish, this flute is ready to stand out in any session or setting. The power of this flute’s sound is immediately noticeable. It offers strong, rich volume without sacrificing control or responsiveness. Whether you’re holding a long low D or cutting through a lively set of reels, this flute gives you the projection and tone you need.

Built to Last a Lifetime
Ebony is a hard, moisture-resistant tonewood, prized for its durability and long-term tonal consistency. Its density adds focus and projection to your sound, while the flute’s carefully crafted seals and finishes help it perform reliably for years to come. With a little care, this flute will grow with you, sounding better the more you play.

Made for Trad
This limited-edition flute has been tuned and built specifically for Irish trad. The tone has that signature dark warmth, with enough brightness in the upper octave to cut through a session. Its weight, responsiveness, and tonal shape make it ideal for players who love the depth of a Pratten-style sound but want something visually unique.
Limited Edition Craftsmanship
This isn’t just another flute. It’s a one-time-only release, built in small numbers and not available again once sold out. Each instrument is individually finished and tested, giving you a rare opportunity to own a flute that stands out in tone, appearance, and exclusivity. If you’ve been waiting for something truly unique, this is your moment.
Confidence at Every Level
Whether you’re moving up from a beginner flute or looking for a reliable session-ready instrument, this flute delivers balance, power, and control. It’s welcoming for players still growing in strength, while still offering the tone, volume, and character that experienced trad musicians will love.
Setup and Tested by Musicians
Before it leaves the workshop, every flute is hand-inspected, assembled, and tested by a musician on our team. We know to look for the important things like tuning response, seal quality, tone projection because we play these instruments ourselves. You’re not just getting a beautiful flute, you’re getting one that’s truly ready to play.
