Tell us something.: Ive played Irish Flute for a number of Years. Have played Sessions as well but not currently. I have also played Colonial American Flute in reenactment Groups. Started playing Clarinet in 1960 in School and later Community Bands. Also have played Bagpipes Solo as well as in Pipe Bands I played Drums in a Garage band in High School, probably my Instrument I played the best!

Any Opinions on this Flute?
The Flute is described as a Pratton style Flute in Delrin with an Integral Foot
Its from China and one of the Models sells for $399, the other $499
As described the Flute seems very similar to a Forbes Flute

One would have to like the rectangle embouchure cut.
