Need suggestions for flute to play at Renaissance Festival

Post by insidiousraven »

Hi there! Sorry if you see this asked at other forums, I'm trying to get suggestions from anyone I can!

I play in a renaissance band and am looking for a new flute. This flute needs to fit in historically (be or look wooden, preferably not blackwood), be able to tune at least a little bit, and withstand 90 - 40 degree weather and play in the keys of D Major, A Minor, C Major, D Minor, G Minor, F major, G major.

Last season I used a wooden D folk flute by Casey Burns. and a wooden fife in C by Sweetheart flutes.

These instruments did ok, except tuning was non existent on the fife and not all of my accidentals were covered between the two.

Any suggestions would be absolute awesome. Thank you!!
