Windward African Olivewood Keyless Pratten Flute in D
Manufacturer's Description
The Windward Maple flute is the proverbial “party flute”
It weighs nothing, is easy to play and gives instant gratification! Has excellent resonance despite its lightness, a sweet woody sound, and loud when you need it. If that is not enough... it smells like pancakes!!
It has a big and responsive sound, it is very clean and quick, is fantastic for a beginner and allows for growth.
This excellent sessions flute has a wide dynamic range. It is sweet and soulful on the slow airs, articulate and quick on jigs and reels, and loud when its called for.
The flute’s strong bottom-end allows the the player to punch a good hard D, and the intrinsic stability of the Windward bore facilitates crans, rolls and other ornamentation. Our keyless Pratten has an easily accessible 2½ octave range.
The flute has a tuning slide and a stopper which can be adjusted by rotating the end-cap, thus making it possible to fine tune the octaves, or explore other modalities with ease.
