Irish Flute 22 inches The Irish Flute Also known as the Low D LARGE HANDS ONLY! If you have a medium size hand the Brazilian Major (G) is great. For an Irish sound and a small hand span go for the See Styles here
What You Are Saying: Regular: Tuned with an electronic tuner in a major scale. Can play all kinds of songs in two full octaves. Great for playing by yourself. What do you mean by Concert Tuned?
A440 is the present universal standard of tuning. It means that the note A vibrating at 440 cycles is the note the music world agreed on after a world wide music summit. Adding 2 cents to that makes the note happier which we do.
Concert tuned, to me means every note on an electronic tuner is perfect pitch between 0 and the 20 cents mark.
Once the note is too bright even on one note, I do not consider it worthy to be called concert pitch, which would be the pitch needed to be in tune playing in a concert with other tuned instruments.
Will I be able to play the Low Irish D Flute?
Concerning the Low D Irish flute...If you have experience playing piano... the stretch of the top hand or the right hand, would be the distance between the notes C D# F# and on the lower hand on the flute the distance of the holes from center would be like C D and F. I consider this a large flute. Remember if you go to a piano or keyboard to check this out don't use the thumb. The thumb will be under the flute holding it.
