An Irish flute is a cylindrical wind instrument that is traditionally made from wood. Concert flutes are generally made from silver or nickel, and as a result, they sound quite different than an Irish wooden flute that’s used in traditional Irish music. A traditional flute typically has eight holes,

but typical Irish flutes have six tone-holes and anywhere from zero to thirteen keys. Many experienced Irish flute players prefer six or eight key flutes, although much of the traditional Irish repertoire can be played on keyless flutes.
