I wanted to say 'plastic', but nobody knows the secret formula composite material used to make these things. It's called Grenaditte, and it looks and feels like some kind of polymer. I came across them while paying a music school a visit (which happens to be the only place in Singapore that sells Irish whistles, but only Susatos).
It took a bit of searching, but I finally found some information (and videos!) of these flutes on the web. Check 'em out!

Oh, and I'm told they retail for over $2000 SGD. They're good flutes, I'm told, but I don't have enough experience to appreciate them yet.
