A flute born of inspiration and love of teaching
In 2008, Sir James Galway asked Conn-Selmer to undertake a joint venture to produce a flute that students could be proud to own and inspired to play. He also wanted it to be a part of his year-long 70th birthday celebration. Of course, Conn-Selmer accepted the challenge of the master. In August of 2009, Conn-Selmer brought 40 prototype flutes to the National Flute Association Convention in New York. The response from both flutist and teacher attendees was overwhelmingly positive. And - Sir James was delighted with his birthday gift!
The first production models are now ready for you to play, purchase and enjoy. We invite you to test play our new flute at your nearest Conn-Selmer distributor or flute specialty shop.
