Description

The Brand New Delrin® 6 Keyed Flute by McNeela

LIMITED TIME OFFER BELOW!

The best-selling Delrin Intermediate Keyed Flute has been expertly crafted to provide exceptional playability and durability, making it the perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned musicians. With a superb low D and loads of volume, it's ideal for fast sessions and for those wishing to upgrade from a non-keyed flute.

Please note: this flute is a B stock model, offered at over 30% discount. B stock gives you the perfect opportunity to own one of our best-selling instruments at a significantly reduced price. There are some minor scratches and slight cosmetic damage to the finish around the aperture and key holes. However, any imperfections are purely superficial and do not affect the flute's excellent sound or playability.

It's also the perfect flute for those not-so-wood-friendly venues like festivals or traveling. Or you can leave it assembled at home, always within reach for a quick play.

As these are shop-soiled flutes, they are sold as seen and are non-refundable. Please read this product description carefully.

"Love, love, love this flute. I leave it out on the table, I pick it up, and play it no muss no fuss, no worries about cracked wood in dry winter conditions." Marcia F.

Listen to Tom Doorley put our Delrin keyed flute through it's paces:

Feel the pure joy of playing a high-quality instrument designed with precision and care. The Delrin Intermediate Keyed Flute is meticulously crafted from top-grade Delrin material, offering the warmth and beauty of a wooden flute with the resilience and stability that Delrin is known for.

Rainy days and varying temperatures won't stand in your way as you create beautiful melodies that will captivate your listeners.

Delrin® is a tough, lightweight and durable acetal polymer with inherent low friction, low wear, low noise, low moisture pick-up and excellent spring back properties and makes for an excellent low maintenance flute as it is not subject to cracks due to dryness or stress at the joints.

This Delrin® flute is made to play and sound as closely as possible to the Irish wooden flute. The traditional elliptical embouchure is standard and provides a wide range of tonal flexibility.

"I can't put it down." Brent S.

A normal fully keyed flute made from African Blackwood would cost well over €2,000 so our version is great value!

This flute must be tried to appreciate its gorgeous tones and great intonation and is perfect for those wishing to test the keyed flute waters; we offer a 30 day trial wherein you can send it back to us for a full refund if you’re not 100% satisfied.

Foam Lined Flute Case Included

Not only do you get your premium Irish flute with this purchase, but also a high-quality Foam Lined Flute Case as well! This high-quality case is perfect for storing and protecting your instrument from all of the common scratches and blemishes that are usually picked up over the years.

The foam lining acts as a shock absorber to protect the flute from any potential impact. Plus, the case also helps regulate the temperature and humidity, reducing the flute’s wood degrading over time as well!

This flute case is really a must-have for any flute enthusiast or touring flutist looking to protect their instrument.

Tuning Slide

The tuning slide means you can adjust the pitch to adapt to any playing situation from a session environment to outdoor recitals and everything in between. Also handy if your venerable fellow musician is playing slightly sharp or flat.

Foot Joints

This flute has a separate foot joint with two holes. This is derived from the traditional eight key flute, where the two foot joint holes are closed by keys to give the C sharp and C natural notes. We have retained the basic design because it nicely balances the weight of the metal tuning slide, to give a very comfortable flute.

Keys

6 Key Set Up

Keys are mounted on integral pins, following traditional design. All keys are made from nickel-silver. Foot keys are the traditional articulated design, with the key and pin locations positioned to give a quick response and a very positive seal. Keyed for Eb, F♮ (x2), G#, Bb and C♮.

Design

This is a tapered bore, simple system flute based on originals made during the 1800's, with the greatest influence being the flutes made by Hawkes and Son of London. The design has been adapted to give the characteristics sought after by players of Irish Traditional Music.

Our flutes achieve a balance of tone, volume, and flexibility throughout the 2 octave range. The standard flute is pitched in the key of D and tuned to concert pitch (A440) with a tuning slide to adjust the tuning or playing style.

The McNeela Delrin Keyed Flute
I have the Lon Dubh and have had it for around three years. I have loved it and wanted a keyed version. I thought the tone would be similar, basically the same instrument plus keys. I find this one much better and enjoyable to play. The low D rings very well and the tone I find easier to keep consistent. I prefer this one over the Lon Dubh not just because of the keys (which I rarely use), but because it sounds better and is a better experience. The Lon Dubh had some air leaking from poor cork seals, I took it to the shop and they were able to fix it. This one has string instead of cork, some of the connections are hard to disconnect and because of that a lot of the times I keep it connected. One of the connections doesn’t connect all the way (but doesn’t seem to leak) and has come out during playing. When it came apart I was able to put it back together mid tune before the next phrase so no big deal. I suspect I’ll have to take it in at some point to help with these issues but it’s not a game changer. Overall dispute those issues I am very happy with this instrument. I believe my connection issues can be solved and don’t effect the tone. Some on the internet have said that the done sounds “plastic” or synthetic compared to wood, I can somewhat agree but it’s ease of play, the fact that you don’t have to worry about caring for it as much, and the consistency in tone that it gives you all make up for any “synthetic” sound quality it has. It doesn’t exact sound like wood, but it still sounds beautiful and very professional and worth performing with in any setting.

The McNeela Delrin Keyed Flute (B Stock)
I consider the value for money to be very respectable at the "Stock B" price I paid for this 6-keyed Delrin flute. I wouldn't have bought it at the regular price, as the key quality isn't exceptional and the sound in the upper register is too bright. On the other hand, the low notes are very nice. All in all, for a beginner wanting to try out a keyed flute, buying this "Stock B" model is a pretty good investment.

The McNeela Delrin Keyed Flute
Ik kreeg vandaag eindelijk mijn delrin fluit met kleppen, na ongeduldig wachten. Mijn eerste indruk: wat is deze fluit zwaar! Maar dat vormt eigenlijk geen probleem, het is enkel even wennen. Bij mijn eerste noten kwamen de lage tonen er heel moeilijk uit, terwijl de hoge vanzelf heel goed klonken. Na een uurtje spelen lukt het me al veel beter. Het is een kwestie van ervoor te zorgen dat je met je vingers alle gaten perfect afsluit, en naar de ideale embouchure op zoek te gaan. De kleppen zijn ook wat wennen, omdat de grepen anders zijn dan op mijn Boehm-fluit. Allemaal geen problemen van de fluit op zich, maar een kwestie van wennen en oefenen dus. Een klein minpuntje is de do-klep. Die maakt nogal veel lawaai. Ik denk dat ik het wel kan oplossen door er een heel dun kurkje op te kleven. De klank van de fluit is mooi en wat groter dan mijn vroegere houten fluit met kleine vingergaten en zonder kleppen. Dat is meegenomen in onze muziekgroep, waar we met acht zijn. Ik kocht een B-stock, maar de fluit is volledig in orde, voor bijna de helft van de prijs! Al bij al ben ik heel blij met mijn aankoop!

The McNeela Delrin Keyed Flute
I actually showed up at McNeela's in person to try out some flutes, as i had decided that what I really wanted was a keyed flute. But I also voiced my interest in any Delrin flutes that the company might have on hand. What was produced for me was this, a Derin keyed flute. Now, I've played (and often owned) flutes by great makers, so I'm not easy to please. I must say I fell instantly in love with this instrument. For a larger, very solid instrument it filled with delicate ease, producing a rich, strong and responsive tone, with easy intonation and a great buzz in the low end. all at a very reasonable price. This flute is a wonder, and being of Delrin construction will probably last decades, regardless of my travels through varying temperatures and humidities. This is one good flute. It's been a mainstay for two years now, memories and music,but no signs of wear! And GREAT tone!
