Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments within the more general category of wind instruments. There are two main types of woodwind instruments and one of them is flute. Every bit as popular as other traditional Celtic instruments, the flute has always been a favored instrument by the Irish for centuries. Irish Flute refers to a conical-bore, simple-system wooden flute of the type favoured by classical flautists of the early 19th century. The vast majority of traditional Irish flute players use a wooden, simple-system flute. Often played at festivals or celebrations, Scottish flutes are responsible for most of the music filling the air, and with the Wooden Flutes here at Scottish Kilt Shop, you can have your very own high-quality wooden flute to play. The Wooden Flutes come in either Rosewood or African black wood, each one with its own unique finishes to suit your tastes.
