The Essential Flute is ideal for both Celtic music and World music of all kinds. Diatonic major tuning. Featuring a tapered head bore for improved intonation and projection. Ergonomic embouchure hole placement for right-handed player.
"What an instrument! It is everything I could hope for in a ‘3/4 flute’ (speaking of the F flute), bright with loads of potential for the kind of old-school Irish trad I have been working on."
- Frank Claudy

See Geoffrey make an Essential Flute in this film! (Flute played in score is the Essential C.)
I'm honored to be the subject of a "micro-documentary" by multi-talented film maker Blayne Chastain, who also composed and performed original music for the film using one of my Essential Flutes (the same flute that I'm making in the video, actually!). This film is an artistic snapshot of my flute making process for all of you who have wondered what goes on in the workshop :-) Thank you Blayne for this amazing piece of work! (Hint: increase the video quality in your settings to HD!)
