Murray African Blackwood Flute 
Sam Murray
and his son Sean are celebrated the world over for the quality and craftsmanship of the superior Murray flutes. This renowned flute maker from Belfast has been honing his craft for almost fifty years. Sam son Sean took the lead while Sam took a step back from flute making for a few years. McNeela Instruments is incredibly proud to be the sole distributor of sublime Murray flutes today.
We are extremely lucky to be able to offer this stunning flute in the key of D. Made from rare African Blackwood, a wood so dense it sinks in water, the sound produced is rich with great complexity and tone; add to that the big volume and you've got the perfect session flute. Every note is pitch perfect, it's easy to fill and plays as comfortably as a whistle, performing excellently in all arenas from large concert auditoriums to cosy session snugs.
The Murray handmade flute is a worthy investment for the dedicated musician looking to perfect their craft and delight listeners. It also comes with a smart foam-lined box in which to store your instrument. Neat and sturdy, it's great for travel.

Praise for Sam Murray's Keyless African Blackwood Flutes
'It's superb. A master instrument from Murray. Needless to say, the tone is magnificent, the low D strong and easy, and octaves very well in tune. Beautifully made, gorgeous chocolate brown colour, light to hold, easy to fill. The McNeela case is fantastic, strong and light and protective and really high quality. I never had such a lovely flute in my life. A dream. Thanks!' - Andrew B. 
"A few years ago I invested in a fine flute, crafted by Sam Murray, and the notes that come out are mellow and delicious to the ear" - Michael Harding, The Irish Times
Sam Murray flutes are known for their rich tone and ease of play and this flute is no exception.
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.
This is a flute that looks as good as it sounds. The beautiful blackwood exterior is complemented by sterling silver rings and a silver tuning slide. Its high end finish perfectly complements its superior sound.
A Sam Murray flute is a worthy investment. His instruments can carry you through any stage of your flute playing career and are guaranteed to delight both player and listener.  
Don't miss your chance to own this brilliant flute from one of Ireland's most talented flute makers.

Full and rich low tones, clear and solid high tones, yet there is a mellowness across the entire range. Easy to play. Makes me sound better than I am. Now to figure out how John Skelton makes his flute growl

I own several high end flutes, including an Orwell which is perfect in every way- but there is only one Sam Murray! It is the classic Irish flute- great low D, light and very well intonated. Also thanks to McNeela Music for trying several and selecting one for me, since I live in the States.

I have several lovely high end flutes, even an Olwell which is perfect in every way- but there is only one Sam Murray! Perfectly balanced in weight and volume, great intonation at both octaves and fine craftsmanship. You need to play, or better yet, own one to hear what all the fuzz is about!
