Flutes in Eb

Our Eb flute has a Pratten-type design, making it sound really powerful. If you wish to impress with a brilliant tone and incredibly fast response you can use the trick that is found on a lot of CDs, i.e. take a keyed Eb flute instead of a D flute.

The Eb flute is available with up to 8 keys: D#, F short, F long, G#, Bb, C and a pewter-plug C-foot with both the low C an C#. All keywork is block mounted.

Unkeyed flutes are offered in African Blackwood and Boxwood. Keyed instruments are also offered in Blackwood and boxwood and in Cocus for 6 or 8 keyed instruments. Because this wood is so rare (and expensive!) we don't make flutes in Cocus with less than six keys. There is usually a waiting time for keyed instruments, please contact us for more information.

All flutes come with a tuning slide. The headjoint can be half-lined, lined with German silver or lined with sterling silver. The middle piece of this flute, the body, comes in one piece, but can be made in two pieces on request. Flutes in Cocus always come with sterling silver lining and a screw cap to adjust the headjoint's end cork position.
