The Folk Flute, made by American flutemaker Casey Burns.

The Folk Flute plays beautifully. Intonation is excellent, response is excellent, the tone is wonderful, and it is very comfortable to play. It now comes with a nice fabric case. At $375.00, it is an excellent value.

The Folk Flute is now available in European Boxwood (as pictured above), Mopane, or African blackwood. (All three woods are pictured below.) When you order, please let us know your wood preference.

What it is, exactly: A three-piece wooden flute for playing traditional music: nothing more, but nothing less. The new three-piece Folk Flute design allows rotational adjustment between the left and right hands.

This flute is designed for:

  • beginning wooden flute players
  • beginning Irish music players
  • whistle players getting a "first flute"
  • younger flute players
  • experienced players with limited budgets

A beginner should have access to an instrument which:

  • has a traditional conical bore, made of well-proven tonewood
  • speaks easily, with a strong low D
  • has correct intonation
  • is simple and attractive in appearance

The Folk Flute is a solid and correct traditional instrument.

Two different hole-spacing options are available:

  • Ergonomic Standard
  • Small-Handed
