The Hall Crystal Flute, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, is created by renowned flute maker James Hall in Washington State, USA. Meticulously handcrafted, this instrument begins with precision Pyrex glass tubing, which is carefully sealed and shaped to achieve the Boehm taper, producing beautiful and accurate tones throughout its range.

After the shaping and tuning of the tone holes, the flute is adorned with a stunning kiln-fired decoration, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and durability. Each piece is a unique work of glass art, a testament to the artistry and skill of its creator.

Delivered in a classy, foam-lined dark-green storage box with a gold-stamped logo, the flute comes complete with a comprehensive fingering chart, allowing players to seamlessly navigate its features. Additionally, the Hall Crystal Flute website offers free sheet music, further enhancing the playing experience.

Unlike a modern concert flute, this instrument is a folk or historical piece, with a distinctive design. The raised edge of the mouth hole and the absence of a lip plate require some adaptation for those accustomed to the silver flute. Players will need to position the flute higher on their lips and employ a slightly tighter embouchure to produce the desired tones.

Despite these differences, the Hall Crystal Flute is a versatile instrument, allowing musicians to explore a wide range of musical styles. Its 6-hole design makes it particularly well-suited for playing Celtic and traditional tunes, as well as renaissance or baroque compositions.

Introducing the 11204 Inline C Piccolo - Green Ivy, a lower-pitched piccolo that produces crisp, clean sounds with a softer, mellower tone compared to its silver counterpart. Designed with smaller hands in mind, the tone holes are placed closer together, making it easier to cover the openings.

As a higher-pitched instrument, the piccolo requires a tighter embouchure than the larger flutes. Its range spans 2 octaves, with the lowest note being C5 (one octave above middle C). The piccolo features chromatics, allowing for greater musical expression, and is primarily tuned in the key of C, with a secondary key of F, both without the need for half-hole techniques.

The Inline C Piccolo - Green Ivy, like the Hall Crystal Flute, is a masterfully crafted piece, adorned with a kiln-fired ivy decoration in green, brown, and black, adding to its visual appeal. Housed in a foam-lined, dark-green storage box with a gold-stamped logo, this piccolo is a testament to the exceptional skill and artistry of its creators.
