Product Description

Description

The Cygnet Irish Rosewood Flute

“Beautiful flute with a wonderful tone!” - Jennifer S.

The Cygnet is the best-selling flute in our store. It's crafted from Irish rosewood, a relatively dense tonewood that produces the clear, crisp tones and full sound you want for playing traditional Irish music.

It has a squared ellipse embouchure, which is the most efficient way for you to channel your air through the instrument.

While the cork-lapped joints mean there’s no leakage, so the air you apply is used exclusively for sound.

But what really elevates the sound you get from this flute are the rich sonic textures you get from Irish rosewood.

The Cygnet flute has been built with beginners and students in mind and has quickly become the instrument of choice for students and teachers alike throughout the island of Ireland.

Special Offer! Order today and get a FREE foam-lined case, plus 3 months’ FREE access to Tom Doorley’s beginner flute course (see below).

Limited Stock: Order the Cygnet Irish Rosewood Flute now and avail of Free Priority shipping worldwide.

Trusted by Teachers

The Cygnet is one of few affordable flutes that is consistently recommended by Irish flute teachers. Why? It’s well built, easy to control, and doesn’t hold students back. If you’re learning on your own or guiding someone else, this is the flute that keeps things moving forward.

Comfort That Keeps You Playing

The Cygnet is lightweight, easy to balance, and offers standard hole spacing for easier finger reach. Combined with a smooth finish and gentle resistance, it’s an instrument you’ll enjoy practicing with, which makes all the difference when you’re learning.

A Beautiful Instrument, Inside and Out

With its natural rosewood grain and polished finish, the Cygnet looks as good as it sounds. Each handcrafted flute is professionally set up in our workshop to ensure it arrives ready to play, with no worries or extra adjustments needed.

 

Low-Maintenance and Session-Ready

Worried about wooden flute upkeep? Rosewood is naturally hard, stable, and resilient. With occasional oiling and safe storage, this flute will grow with you for years. Its high-quality build and careful design make it adaptable to many settings and a great low-stress fit for early musicians.

When we say “designed by musicians, for musicians”, we mean it. We spend years developing our instruments, working with other music professionals and instructors to gather insight and feedback the whole way.

Every improvement on this bodhrán has been guided by that process, and I’m incredibly proud of the results! It’s specially designed for players like you to reach your goals and play more of the music you love.

Plus, each one is carefully set up here in the workshop before it’s shipped to you, and our team is here for any questions you have.

The McNeela Mission

We believe in the power of music for people, communities, and tradition. That’s why we’re so committed to making affordable quality instruments available to anyone who wants to bring a little more of it into the world!
