The Folk Version: a flageolet tailored for sessions since 1970
Since 1970, Generation flageolets have evolved in this Folk version to better suit the playing contexts of traditional and folk music. The idea is simple: to offer a direct, effective, and immediately musical instrument that fits into a group without unnecessary complications. Made in England, this model continues the legacy of a brand widely adopted by musicians seeking an accessible and characterful "trad" flageolet.
For which musicians and styles
This Generation Folk is particularly aimed at beginners and intermediates who want a reliable flageolet to discover whistle playing and progress by ear, but it is also suitable for more advanced musicians as a supplementary instrument for rehearsals, jams, and sessions.
Regarding repertoire, its vocation is clearly oriented towards traditional and folk music (tunes, dances, popular melodies), while remaining relevant in acoustic pop whenever a simple, straightforward, and expressive tone is sought. The Key of C makes it a natural choice for working on melodies and themes in a very common key.

Designed to focus on the essentials, this Generation flageolet emphasizes easy sound production and immediate response : a usable sound is quickly achieved, ideal for linking phrases, clean articulation, and developing the typical ornamentation of trad styles.
Its nickel body provides a solid feel and good resistance to wear. The blue color gives it a distinctive visual identity, easy to spot in a case or on a music stand. In practice, this type of flageolet is appreciated for its "plug and play" nature: you pick up the instrument and play, without unnecessary adjustments.
Note : this model is non-tunable. This works very well for everyday use but requires good breath control and attentive listening when playing with other instruments.
