The Auto Slide Flute is a great way to learn to play music by ear. This new instrument lets you play two plus octaves of great sounding music using only the slide and has an automatic mouthpiece that blows like a whistle. You get a clear flute sound, plus the ability to play real slides with ease. The flute position is perfect for a great natural feel to move the slide from note to note.

Slide flute measures 14 inches and is fabricated using custom cut components to produce a nice traveling size instrument with good volume and sound characteristics.

An appliance clip is available for the slide flute that allows you to attach it to a wriststrap or harmonica bar.

Here is a note from Walter Nelson who received the very first Slide Flute we shipped. Hello Nadiene and Rod, Got my slide flute and bag today, very nice. First observation, this instrument is very well put together and catchy to the eye (eye candy). The sound is very good, reminds me of pan pipe. After only a few minutes I was playing a simple song fairly well. The slide is very smooth and the sound is of a quality instrument and not just a child's toy. I think you have a winner here.
