“I find that this flute is not a good match for me. The holes are a good stretch for average size hands and difficult to play. Going to be awhile before I will get comfortable with it.”

Hi Joe, thanks for the review. Have you tried using the so-called Piper's Grip to get that extra stretch? Many beginners have found it invaluable in helping them to get to grips with the larger simple system flute style.

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.”

“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.”
