Chiff and Fipple Forums

I have been boring people for years telling them that they just have to practice painting until they get good. No one wants to believe it though. If you can't play an instrument or paint a painting then its because you don't have the magic talent, not that you are a lazy slug who never stuck at anyt...

The two might have been conjoined for quite a while, In 601AD Pope Gregory I made an edict that missionaries should use existing customs and beliefs but just consecrate them to Christ. So this was a deliberate policy not an accident. All Souls day is I believe is from the C9th.

I would expect good, linked to Eric Moulder well known as an early instrument maker for many years.

Is it Rudally or does it lean more towards a Pratten in style? Would you play it pipers grip or classical? In those days did they glottal stop or tongue? What would the cork position be?

Whew! When I read the title I was afraid he may have lost it or had it stolen.

Poor souls I pity them.

Try to find someone with a large finger to marry?

Aha I thought it was familiar, that lined blow hole.

I don't feel rich enough, is that a patent head?

Powells on Four Corners in the main street music shop usually has a few Murrays in stock. Worth walking up along the river to see all the old mill races.

Hey don't blame me I only did the original layout, Chris does it himself... occasionally

If anybody wishes to hate me the 8key with the purple thread is mine. No I ain't selling.

That's a helluva price for a keyless.

Beware there are people in Manchester who have the habit of stamping Rudall onto flutes that ain't! (I know cos I bought one!) The late lamented Andrew Kirby told me the name of the probable culprit, but I'd best keep that to myself. So I would advise to check provenance especially carefully.
