Irish Flute 22 inches The Irish Flute Also known as the Low D LARGE HANDS ONLY! If you have a medium size hand the Brazilian Major (G) is great. For an Irish sound and a small hand span go for the
Regular: Tuned with an electronic tuner in a major scale. Can play all kinds of songs in two full octaves. Great for playing by yourself. What do you mean by Concert Tuned?
A440 is the present universal standard of tuning. It means that the note A vibrating at 440 cycles is the note the music world agreed on after a world wide music summit. Adding 2 cents to that makes the note happier which we do.
Concert tuned, to me means every note on an electronic tuner is perfect pitch between 0 and the 20 cents mark.
Once the note is too bright even on one note, I do not consider it worthy to be called concert pitch, which would be the pitch needed to be in tune playing in a concert with other tuned instruments.
Will I be able to play the Low Irish D Flute?
Concerning the Low D Irish flute...If you have experience playing piano... the stretch of the top hand or the right hand, would be the distance between the notes C D# F# and on the lower hand on the flute the distance of the holes from center would be like C D and F. I consider this a large flute. Remember if you go to a piano or keyboard to check this out don't use the thumb. The thumb will be under the flute holding it.
What you are saying Dear Erik! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Erik, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Erik, just wanted to thank you so much for my Irish Flute. It was everything I could ask for and more. I have not put it down ever since it came a couple days ago. I have been writing music with it and hope to have a couple songs ready for my next music jam at the local music store. I sat down at a piano and found out the exact notes and notation on music sheets. My boss wanted me to tell he is happy the money he paid me went to such a good use. I've just been having so much fun with it, the sound is great. It is much different than my metal orchestral flute. I had to sit and get my fingers used to it, but I got it now. Just wanted to say you have given me something that is quickly becoming my main instrument. Thanks and may you days be warm and filled with music! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Erik, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Erik, Dear Mr. Erik, Hello Erik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Erik: I LOVE THE BARITONE SAX IN F AND THE CONCERT D FLUTE I GOT FROM YOU.
