I just thought that others might be interested in the appearance of a Chinese-made Irish flute called the iPipe3. It sells for 1480 Yuan, which is $221 USD.
It can be found on the Chinese Amazon-like site taobao.com.
There are a handful of Youtube videos of this, and it sounds quite nice and in tune— like it might be based on a larger bore R&Rose type flute.
I am in no way connected with this. Not only did I not find a thread for this on this forum, but I also don't find that this is for sale on Amazon or eBay. If someone knows of a review, please post a link.

I believe the maker has posted with an email address in the ChiffandFipple group on Facebook.
