'D' flutes are most commonly used in Irish traditional music - 'C' flutes have a deeper tone and the holes are further apart. Mostly the 'D' flute is used in sessions. As Martin Doyle is the flute maker whose flutes I promote and offer, I would suggest that you visit his <a href="http://www.martindoyleflutes.com/flutes-prices.html" title="Flutes and Prices | Martin Doyle Flutes" rel="nofollow">Flutes and Prices</a> page to see info about waiting times etc. You can email him if you have further questions or wish to place an order.<br /> Cheers,<br /> Shardul.</p> Hi Amanda,

I was also wondering what payment methods are accepted and should I want to purchase a 'made-to-order' instrument, who should I contact to place to place that kind order? I realize that the flutes, being handmade and the flute being 'made-to-order' versus 'on-demand' flutes are going to take longer to receive. I was also curious about the major differences between and 'D' and 'C' versions, in sound and mechanics. Is one preferred over the other for session playing? I want to make sure I fully research all of the options to simple system celtic style flutes. Thank you for your time and your knowledge is greatly appreciated. ~Amanda Shardul,

Orders are certainly taken for flutes. I have a new Martin Doyle keyless African Blackwood 6 hole 'D' flute with a brass tuning slide at the moment which I will be offering from this website as soon as I return to New Zealand in early September - probably will be up around the 10th. It is a beauty and will carry a price tag of around $1,500.00 NZD. (Does not include postage.) No down payment is required for keyless flutes that are ordered through KiwiCelt, but full payment is required before I will send the flute to the purchaser. Hope this answers your questions - please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Best wishes, Shardul. Hi Amanda - thanks for the enquiry.

If requests are taken, is payment due before the request is fulfilled, or is it a down-payment and pay the rest when the flute gets finished? ~Amanda Are requests taken to have one made instead of waiting and hoping the one you want will show up for sale?

As an example, a basic Traditional style keyless flute in African Blackwood with a tuning slide would be around NZD $1,450.00. Add to that the cost of postage. I use an international courier system that offers full insurance and a flute that I sent to Tennessee from NZ a while back cost NZD $60.00 for postage. When I do have flutes available, they are displayed on the <a href="/flutes/wooden-flutes-for-sale/" title="Wooden Flutes For Sale! - KiwiCelt Wooden Flutes" rel="nofollow">Wooden Flutes For Sale!</a> page with the price and other details.
