Celtic Flutes
Celtic and Irish flutes in rosewood and blackwood, simple system with six open finger holes and few or no keys. They produce the warm breathy tone characteristic of traditional playing, quite different from a modern silver flute. Buy in D, since session music assumes it. Wooden flutes need oiling several times a year and protection from cold and direct sun. Buy in D for the same reason as whistles, since traditional session music assumes it and instruments in other keys cannot play along. Keyless flutes in D cover the great majority of the repertoire, and keys are worth adding only once you know you need the accidentals. Rosewood is lighter, warmer and less expensive. African blackwood is denser and more focused, and is what most experienced players use.
