Clifford Rae flutes

Guys, I found this website.
http://www.reaflutes.co.uk/_/home.html
I wrote to them and that is what i got :
"Hi we make a metal 2piece 5keyed flute priced at £195-00 plus postage or you can have an African black wood 3 piece flute at £210-00 plus postage"


Seems a real bargain! Even it seems too good to be true... What do you think?

Looks like a Protestant No. Irish fife maker producing instruments for Drum & Fife bands. On his website, I didn't see anything that looked like an Irish concert flute like the ones we typically use for Irish music. Listened to the video--the tuning is wonky on the fifes, but it's consistent so they are all wonky together. Kinda cool actually. I'd call him and ask about low D flutes.
