This simple system keyless flute breaks down into three pieces with cork lapped joints. It has a silver plated tuning slide and mounts and is surprisingly powerful for a flute with small tone holes, which are easily reached especially as the left and right hand joints can be rotated in relation to each other. Advantage has been taken of the ease with which this instrument can be played by people with small hands and limited reach, by making it light and really well balanced. The embouchure of this flute facilitates good tone development with minimal air consumptiom.

IRISH FLUTES

Players of Irish music have long favoured two types of flute from the 19th. century, namely the Rudall Rose & Pratten. Many of these "Irish flutes"had the keys removed and the associated tone holes blocked up to facilitate sliding between notes and other techniques (probably more familiar to players of renaissance flute) which are the soul of Irish flute music. A characteristic of the Irish flute is the foot joint with it's two open holes left by the removal of the C & C# keys. After many years of making these flutes I have yet to find one which is improved by this redundant joint. Consequently my "Irish flutes" carry my own design of foot joint, which, sadly, means that the Morris dancers have no where to tie their ribbons. I'm sure no one else will mourn the loss.
