Special Promotion: Free Wild Irish Whistle!
For a limited time only, with every McNeela African Blackwood Flute purchased you'll receive a Wild Irish tuneable heavy brass tin whistle in the Key of D. The Wild Irish whistle, launched in 2020, is considered the best tin whistle by many and already has hundreds of 5-Star reviews. It has a solid feel to it, nicely balanced both top and bottom, easy to play and produces sweet clear notes in the first and second octave. Featuring a heavy brass fipple and a medium brass body this whistle feels great in the hand. (FREE for a Limited Time Only / While Stocks Last)
Dry your wooden flute thoroughly after playing to prevent trapped moisture distorting and warping the wood. Always take the flute apart after playing and when storing, this takes pressure off the tenons. Lightly oil the bore only when absolutely necessary and if in a particularly dry climate, as over-oiling can cause cracks. Use cork grease on the cork lapping to allow for ease of disassembling.
Never pull the flute when disassembling, rather twist each part backwards and forwards and gently coax it off. Try to avoid very dry conditions and do not leave the flute in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Always warm up before play.
Comes with a top quality foam-lined flute box
