Silverwood Flute with Boxwood Headjoint

The Silverwood flute in the key of D is especially designed to give players the authentic feel and sound of a wooden head joint based on the famous Rudall Rose flutes much loved by players of Celtic music.

The tuneable hardwood head is combined with an aluminium body to give all the advantages of more expensive wooden flutes, but at a much more affordable price.  A great choice as a starter flute, or as a keyless flute to have in your gig bag. 

The wooden head on the Silverwood flute has exactly the same embouchure hole as on the Rudall Rose flutes made by Tony Millyard and Sophie Matthews. It is crafted with the same care and precision so as to give the player the same feel of playing a much more expensive flute. 

The aluminium body has a couple of great advantages.  It is of course very robust and has a nice bright tone, but since it is of a smaller diameter than a wooden flute, the finger holes are much more easily reached by players with smaller hands.  The finger holes are also set out on the flute with smaller hands in mind. 

Silverwood Flutes are made by Tony Millyard and Sophie Matthews in England. The flute has been designed by Tony who has been making top quality wooden flutes for over 15 years, and the same care and precision goes onto making these Silverwood Flutes. Sophie Matthews works with Tony making the keys for the wooden flutes.
