{"product_id":"murray-blackwood-keyless-e-flat","title":"Sam Murray Blackwood \u0026 Silver, Eb","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bright, spirited flute with real punch and swagger in the tone. There's a Harry Bradley kind of quality to it; lively, forward, and full of character. Once you settle into it, it's a genuinely fun instrument to play. The note equivalent to A on a D flute (concert Bb) can tend to climb a little sharp if you're not mindful, but with some lipping down it falls into place, and it becomes second nature quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head joint has a crack that does not pass through the embouchure; it has been sealed and the head joint plays fine. The flute features a Db thumb hole (the Eb equivalent of a C natural thumb hole on a D flute). The left hand third finger hole is very slightly offset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Murray was a flute maker based in Northern Ireland whose instruments are rooted firmly in the sound and feel of the Irish tradition. His flutes earned a strong reputation among session players and performers for their responsive, characterful tone. Murray's instruments are well regarded for balancing traditional tonal qualities with solid craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irish Flute Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521749532898,"sku":"2s2oBW-jist87","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2140\/2331\/files\/1Q7A7910.jpg?v=1775506013","url":"https:\/\/www.irishflutestore.com\/products\/murray-blackwood-keyless-e-flat","provider":"Irish Flute Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
