Thanks for the great review, Teresa! Tony Dixon one piece flutes are a great way to practise the bigger finger stretches and different embouchure of the Irish flute tradition.

“It is huge! This is my first Irish flute and my short drummer fingers are getting a good stretch. It sounds nice. I really like it. And will be working on more than my scales very soon.”

“Wonderful to start with quality. I have shorter drummer fingers and wanted tho play an Irish flute. At first I didn't think my fingres could do the job, but they are getting used to it, and stretching, and it's becoming easier. I am getting close to 60, so if I can do this, anyone can! Looking forward to playing some tunes soon, with this beautifully, rich-toned instrument.”

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, Simon - we really appreciate it! With another few months of practice you will be playing the flute with ease. Good luck!

“Well constructed & visually nice to look at. As it's a 'D' flute, it is long. Thus, challenging to play given the distances of the holes. I am a novice flute player and find it challenging to get good quality sound. The mouth hole is larger than another 'D' flute that I own (which is much easier to play). Surely an advanced flute player would be much better on this Dixon flute. Just the same, I continue to try to play it.”

“I love this flute, it's tone is amazing. When I feel I've earned one, I'll step up to a wood model flute. Thank you for the wonderful instrument.”
