McNeela Olivewood Flute (s)

“I’m really impressed with this flute.” - Jim S.

This eye-catching wooden Irish flute is crafted from olivewood, which gives it its own very distinctive look, feel and sound.

Olive trees are mostly used for the fruit they produce and the oil that results, so relatively few of them end up getting harvested. Which is a shame, as the wood itself has long been prized within musical traditions throughout the Mediterranean and across Africa.

On the one hand, it's a particularly dense and relatively weighty tonewood, that falls somewhere between rosewood and ebony. So the tone it gives you is warm and rich and expansive in range, with an impressive yet measured sustain.

And on the other, the flute that results is a particularly pleasing instrument to hold and play, with its golden blond texture, streaked with darker contours that represent decades and often centuries of growth.

Whether it’s Irish trad or the classical world that you lean towards, this is an exquisitely crafted wooden flute with its very own unique sound and character.

Easier Air Fill

This flute has a relatively small embouchure and tone holes, so it’s that little bit easier for you to fill up with air and deliver it throughout the instrument. And you can fine-tune as you play using the brass tuning slide.

Stand Out From the Crowd

You’re unlikely to meet anyone else playing a flute made of olivewood. Which is a shame, as it’s long been admired as a tonewood for the warm and mellow sound it produces. But very few olive trees end up as musical instruments today. Yours will be one of the few.
