Product Highlights

Built for Real-World Playing

This isn’t just another polymer flute. It’s built from Delrin, a high-performance acetal resin trusted in engineering and performance settings alike. That means superior strength, zero warping, and the kind of consistent tone that wood can’t always deliver.
 
No need for oil, adjustments, or maintenance worries. Just pick it up and play, because it’s session-ready from day one.

“This is an excellent, beautifully finished and precise flute. The intonation is spot on and the tone is very sweet.” - Paul Ln

Seery Flute with Foam Lined Box
The Seery is my second Irish flute, and I'm enjoying it after a month or so of playing. It's much easier to catch and fill than my Dixon, and it has a nice strong D in both octaves and goes up to high B easily. It's loud without being overbearing. It's advertised as an intermediate flute, but really it's just a big bore that demands proper breathing and posture. If you're committed to good form, you'll be ok with the Seery as a first flute. Feels good in the hand and is nicely weighted. The case is great and also carries 3 whistles--D, C and A (with a snip of the foam).

Seery Flute with Foam Lined Box
This flute has a lovely pure tone, it’s easy to fill and can be played either soft and sweet or hard and loud. Ornaments are particularly clean and snappy. Despite being a Pratten-style flute, the tone holes are not too large, though they are pretty far apart (so, you have to stretch your hand out a bit but if you hit your target skinny fingers will not have a problem sealing the holes). The bottom D is easy to hit, and you can get a nice hard tone quickly whenever you want. A well-focused embouchure with this flute will allow you to play long bits without the need for too much air. It is noticeably heavier than my nice wooden flute but it otherwise plays very similarly. The case is big and sturdy though all you need for a Derlin flute is an old kitchen towel and a rubber band. I’ve tried, a sold, quite a few Delrin flutes at this price point and this one performs the closest to my wood flute. The tuning slide moves well, and the head is not lined (a good thing). The cork joints fit together very precisely.

Seery Flute with Foam Lined Box
This is a great deal for a proper flute for Irish trad. It has a wide range of tones you can produce depending on your embouchure, from hard, to clear, to barky, to airy; only subtle adjustments required to access all these options. Cranning on a hard low D has been immediate, fast, and crisp. It can be quiet and sweet and it can be loud and brash. My prior flute was a Rob Forbes; I will be keeping both. The Forbes, in comparison, spits and barks way more readily, but in general it takes a lot more air, while the Seery is more efficient, and is easier to keep restrained when you don't want to have all those huff-and-puff squacks and overtones. The Seery's tone and loudness is really well balanced across two octaves, nothing jumps out on its own without your effort, and none of the notes are weak. You do have to exercise a little control on the E to keep it from breaking but that's a normal compromise and it's easy to control once you get the hang of it. I was surprised that the tone holes on this Seery are rather small compared to the other two pratten style flutes I've tried. But, it's still plenty loud, and you can get that hard pratten tone easily. Ornaments are crisp on the Seery, especially if you back them up with a bit of extra air pressure. Don't let the small holes lead you to believe that it's ergonomic though... the spacing is spread out pretty wide. But, I guess if your fingers are thin, you might not have to worry about leaks like you might on a larger holed flute. It took me an hour or so to really get used to the wider finger spacing (compared to my Forbes), especially on my right hand, but now it's totally fine. I think I probably remedied it by subconsciously changing the angle of my right hand so that my fingers land on the holes more naturally (pipers grip). It looks nice other than the fact that the plastic is very shiny, which makes it slippery and feel a bit cheap. I polished the outer surface carefully with some 0000 steel wool. This certainly voided any warranty and prohibits any kind of return, but the instrument looks better now with a matte wood-like finish and is also easier to hold. The metal tuning slide and the silver rings are a nice touch: very classic. The tenons are cork, so you'll want to also get some cork grease to keep them in good shape. The hard case is VERY nice. I'm actually going to repurpose the case to use with my nice wooden flute, since this Delrin Seery doesn't really need much protection. Honestly, though, I don't know if I'll play the wooden flute much anymore, since the Seery does 99% of what the wooden flute does in terms of tone, with the huge benefit of not having to worry about constantly taking it apart and swabbing it out. Delrin for the win! I'll give it some more time, but I might be selling my wooden flute soon.
