The Seery Delrin® Flute is suitable for all weather conditions, making it the perfect flute to play anywhere in the world. And even better, this flute has virtually no maintenance costs - it's easy to see why this is Dessie’s most popular flute model. It really provides the player with peace of mind as the flute has been made using such great materials; there's no need to worry about oiling the instrument or getting those dreaded cracks in the barrel. When playing this flute you will produce a rich tone every time, exactly what every player strives for.
With professionals such as Tom Doorley of Danú and Eamonn de Barra of Slide having recorded on a Seery Delrin® flute, there's no doubting this fantastic flute's ability.
Delrin® acetal resin bridges the gap between metals and ordinary plastics with a unique combination of creep resistance, strength, stiffness, hardness, dimensional stability, toughness, fatigue resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, abrasion resistance, low wear and low friction.Why use an Acetal Homopolymer? Homopolymers perform significantly better than Copolymers in their toughness at extreme temperatures (2x), fatigue endurance (100x), and elongation at yield (2x). Copolymers cannot reach the mechanical properties that Homopolymers offer for demanding applications.

“This flute has a lovely pure tone, it’s easy to fill and can be played either soft and sweet or hard and loud. Ornaments are particularly clean and snappy. Despite being a Pratten-style flute, the tone holes are not too large, though they are pretty far apart (so, you have to stretch your hand out a bit but if you hit your target skinny fingers will not have a problem sealing the holes). The bottom D is easy to hit, and you can get a nice hard tone quickly whenever you want. A well-focused embouchure with this flute will allow you to play long bits without the need for too much air. It is noticeably heavier than my nice wooden flute but it otherwise plays very similarly. The case is big and sturdy though all you need for a Derlin flute is an old kitchen towel and a rubber band. I’ve tried, a sold, quite a few Delrin flutes at this price point and this one performs the closest to my wood flute. The tuning slide moves well, and the head is not lined (a good thing). The cork joints fit together very precisely.”

“This is a great deal for a proper flute for Irish trad. It has a wide range of tones you can produce depending on your embouchure, from hard, to clear, to barky, to airy; only subtle adjustments required to access all these options. Cranning on a hard low D has been immediate, fast, and crisp. It can be quiet and sweet and it can be loud and brash. My prior flute was a Rob Forbes; I will be keeping both. The Forbes, in comparison, spits and barks way more readily, but in general it takes a lot more air, while the Seery is more efficient, and is easier to keep restrained when you don't want to have all those huff-and-puff squacks and overtones. The Seery's tone and loudness is really well balanced across two octaves, nothing jumps out on its own without your effort, and none of the notes are weak. You do have to exercise a little control on the E to keep it from breaking but that's a normal compromise and it's easy to control once you get the hang of it. I was surprised that the tone holes on this Seery are rather small compared to the other two pratten style flutes I've tried. But, it's still plenty loud, and you can get that hard pratten tone easily. Ornaments are crisp on the Seery, especially if you back them up with a bit of extra air pressure. Don't let the small holes lead you to believe that it's ergonomic though... the spacing is spread out pretty wide. But, I guess if your fingers are thin, you might not have to worry about leaks like you might on a larger holed flute. It took me an hour or so to really get used to the wider finger spacing (compared to my Forbes), especially on my right hand, but now it's totally fine. I think I probably remedied it by subconsciously changing the angle of my right hand so that my fingers land on the holes more naturally (pipers grip). It looks nice other than the fact that the plastic is very shiny, which makes it slippery and feel a bit cheap. I polished the outer surface carefully with some 0000 steel wool. This certainly voided any warranty and prohibits any kind of return, but the instrument looks better now with a matte wood-like finish and is also easier to hold. The metal tuning slide and the silver rings are a nice touch: very classic. The tenons are cork, so you'll want to also get some cork grease to keep them in good shape. The hard case is VERY nice. I'm actually going to repurpose the case to use with my nice wooden flute, since this Delrin Seery doesn't really need much protection. Honestly, though, I don't know if I'll play the wooden flute much anymore, since the Seery does 99% of what the wooden flute does in terms of tone, with the huge benefit of not having to worry about constantly taking it apart and swabbing it out. Delrin for the win! I'll give it some more time, but I might be selling my wooden flute soon.”

“What was I thinking? I tackled the GHB about 30 years ago and have enjoyed them ever since, but I was looking for something a wee bit more subdued to play indoors and decided the Irish flute was it. I originally was going with the African Blackwood since my pipe chanter is blackwood and such a rich sound compared to my Delrin pipe chanter. To be completely honest I can hardly tell the difference anymore. After several emails with the McNeela's sales staff it was decided the Des Seery Delrin flute was the way to go since it was a better fit for my retired life style. My pipe changer, practice chanter and parlor pipes are Delrin and have been with me for many trouble free years so I'm familiar with Delrin instruments and they are worry free when on the road. I expect the same worry free performance from this flute. So how am I getting along with this new challenge? It's been a struggle but the video lesson was included with the purchase and that has made a big difference and well done by the way. I'm starting to get the hang of it and boy it has been a challenge for the old gray matter but I'm sticking with it. One of these days it'll start to come together and I'll actually make some music with it. It's well made, feels great in the hand and whether I'm practicing at an RV campsite, my front porch, garage, shed or den I don't worry about it falling off table, heat, cold or humidity it's always ready to go.”

“The Des Seery Delrin flute is a well-made precision flute. It has great intonation and good even weight distribution. The embouchure is the smaller oval and the spacing and hole size is medium Pratten (with a slightly larger 2nd hole).The tone is sweet and pure and it is close to my wooden Ari de Keyser. A great value and a great flute. (And as usual you get McNeela's terrific customer service and shipping).”
