McNeela Olivenholzflöte

“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.
