The McNeela African Blackwood Irish Flute
**Limited Time: Free Hard Case, Free Lessons, Reduced Priority Shipping**
Designed to a modified version of Pratten’s Perfected flute by Boosey & Co, this McNeela wooden flute delivers the characteristic Pratten big sound but with greater ease and at its current price beats all other premium wooden flutes on sale, hands down. Hear its powerful tone below ->
Session Flute: This good looking flute will get you taken seriously at any traditional Irish session and, with the excellent intonation, wonderful tone and powerful sound the McNeela Blackwood produces, you’ll always be welcomed back.
African Blackwood: We’ve chosen African Blackwood, the finest tonewood, because of its hardness, moisture resistance and excellent sound; this dense hardwood lends a dark, rich, and woody timber sound, which is exactly what you want from an Irish flute.
Note: The shade of the blackwood may vary slightly depending on the section of blackwood that is used.
Sealing Technique: We use a cork-lapping sealing technique to protect the top tenon and for a firm head joint. This sealing technique also ensures zero leakage of precious air and helps you produce a ‘honking’ low D. Great for session playing.
Embouchure Hole: The flute features a squared ellipse embouchure hole for ease of play and a brighter sound. The aperture is smaller than standard Pratten-style making it easier to fill and keep filled so you can keep playing without exhausting your lungs.
Foam Lined Flute Case Included: Not only do you get your premium Irish flute with this purchase, but also a high-quality Flute Case as well! This high-quality case is perfect for storing and protecting your instrument from all of the common scratches and blemishes that are usually picked up over the years.
The foam lining acts as a shock absorber to protect the flute from any potential impact. Plus, the case also helps regulate the temperature and humidity, reducing the flute’s wood degrading over time as well!
This flute case is really a must-have for any flute enthusiast or touring flutist looking to protect their instrument.
