Irish Flutes

Flutes for traditional music based on Nicholson type 19th century
concert flutes. Three different embouchure types are offered:

Rudall and Rose - oval in shape and moderate in size, producing a sweet and focused tone.

Pratten - a large oval shape, big sound.

Modern cut - same dimensions as the Rudall Rose but squarish in shape,
with a thicker chimney and an overcut. Made with three outer profiles:
thinned, with a raised lip plate; semi-thinned, with the raised
embouchure area melded into the thinned tube; unthinned, looking like a
traditional headjoint.
