Color:Carolina This Hall Crystal Flute is handcrafted in Washington State, USA by flute maker James Hall. Starting with precision Pyrex glass tubing, it is sealed and carefully shaped to create a Boehm taper producing beautiful and accurate tones throughout its tonal range. After shaping and tuning the tone holes, the flute is decorated and kiln fired to fuse the decorations and insure durability. Each flute is a handcrafted work of glass art. This flute will arrive nestled in a classy foam lined dark-green storage box with gold stamped logo, along with a complete fingering chart. Free sheet music is avalible on the Hall Crystal Flute website.The Hall crystal flute is a folk or historical instrument and plays differently than a modern concert flute. The mouth hole has a raised edge and no lip plate. If you play the silver flute, this will take some time to get used to. The biggest difference is that you will need to place the flute higher on the lip and use a slightly tighter embouchure. Of course you can play any style of music you wish. Being a 6-holed flute it is well-suited for playing Celtic music and traditional tunes. It is also similar in design to the renaissance or baroque flute so is excellent for this as well.12102 Inline Eb Flute - CarolinaThe Eb flute is very close in size and tone to our large D flute.

Excellent tone and more durable than you'd think.
I love this flute. I have several of the Hall Crystal flutes and every one of them is a stellar product. Despite its appearance, it is remarkably durable. It's made of tempered glass, so it's not as fragile as it looks. It plays beautifully. If you have been a bamboo side-blown flute player, you'll be impressed with how well these flutes play. I have a variety of bamboo flutes, but they do not have the 2-and-a-half octaves range that these have. The finger holes and embrochure are raised slightly, making it easier to get a tight seal on the holes compared to bamboo and the raised embrochure hole makes positioning your lips consistently super easy.I highly recommend this product. And the seller is wonderful to work with.
