The Hall Crystal Flute, a handcrafted work of glass art, is created by flute maker James Hall in Washington State, USA. Precision Pyrex glass tubing is the starting point, which is then sealed and carefully shaped to produce a Boehm taper that generates beautiful and accurate tones throughout its range. After the tone holes are shaped and tuned, the flute is decorated and kiln-fired to fuse the decorations and ensure durability.
Arriving nestled in a classy foam-lined, dark-green storage box with a gold-stamped logo, the flute comes with a complete fingering chart. Free sheet music is available on the Hall Crystal Flute website. This folk or historical instrument plays differently from a modern concert flute, as it features a raised edge mouth hole and no lip plate. For those accustomed to the silver flute, it may take some time to adjust to the higher lip placement and tighter embouchure required.
Despite these differences, the Hall Crystal Flute is well-suited for playing a variety of musical styles, including Celtic and traditional tunes, as well as Renaissance or Baroque music, thanks to its 6-hole design.
The 11204 Inline C Piccolo - Green Ivy is the lower-pitched version of the piccolo in the Hall Crystal Flute collection. Producing clean, crisp, and mellower sounds compared to the silver piccolo, this instrument is ideal for players with smaller hands, as the closely spaced fingering holes make it easier to cover the tone holes. The piccolo, being a higher-pitched instrument, requires a tighter embouchure than the larger flutes.
The C Piccolo has a range of 2 octaves, starting from C5 (one octave above middle C), and features chromatic capabilities using half-holes. Its primary key is C, with no need for half-holes, and its secondary key is F, also without half-hole requirements. The tone holes are inline, following the traditional fingering placement.
Handcrafted in Washington State, USA, by flute maker James Hall using borosilicate glass (81% quartz), the Hall Crystal Flute collection, including the C Piccolo, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of these unique, kiln-fired, ivy-decorated instruments.
