The Cygnet Irish Rosewood Flute
“Beautiful flute with a wonderful tone!” - Jennifer S.
The Cygnet is the best-selling flute in our store. It's crafted from Irish rosewood, a relatively dense tonewood that produces the clear, crisp tones and full sound you want for playing traditional Irish music.
It has a squared ellipse embouchure, which is the most efficient way for you to channel your air through the instrument.
While the cork-lapped joints mean there’s no leakage, so the air you apply is used exclusively for sound.
But what really elevates the sound you get from this flute are the rich sonic textures you get from Irish rosewood.
The Cygnet flute has been built with beginners and students in mind and has quickly become the instrument of choice for students and teachers alike throughout the island of Ireland.

Built with Musicians in Mind
When we say “designed by musicians, for musicians”, we mean it. We spend years developing our instruments, working with other music professionals and instructors to gather insight and feedback the whole way.
Every improvement on this bodhrán has been guided by that process, and I’m incredibly proud of the results! It’s specially designed for players like you to reach your goals and play more of the music you love.
Plus, each one is carefully set up here in the workshop before it’s shipped to you, and our team is here for any questions you have.
The McNeela Mission
We believe in the power of music for people, communities, and tradition. That’s why we’re so committed to making affordable quality instruments available to anyone who wants to bring a little more of it into the world!
