Here’s a new wooden flute, from me, Tommy Martin.
I’ve been making whistles for 20 years, uilleann pipes for 16 years and although I have been repairing flutes for years, and I made a few flutes years ago, these are the first ones that I’m making available for sale. I have a small batch of them in the works and when they’re gone, they’re gone till the next batch.
I only use brass in my uilleann pipes and whistle making so I’m using brass for these flutes too. The wood is African blackwood. The crown is made using an imitation ivory material. The embouchure cut is a tiny bit smaller than some modern flutes so it doesn’t take a huge amount of air so suitable for beginners and experienced players alike. This flute comes with a case, a cleaning brush and a stick of cork grease. If you’re near Dublin you are welcome to visit my workshop to try one too.
