The Winnipesaukee is our most popular flute. These are fine instruments crafted one by one using only hand tools. Beginners and expert players alike love this flute's deep rich tone and easy, natural feel and response. The tapered bore makes the holes closer, maximizing finger comfort. And Werner John's absorbent ceramic windway inserts sustain the flute's resonant tone quality for hours of play. Each flute comes with a fingering chart, protective case, and playing and improvisation hints.

The Winnipesaukee flute now comes in pitches from high "C" to bass "G":
