Tell Fred your issue with the low D stretch in an e-mail. I did, he made a flute that I can play without any problem, but ...

I have both HiD and lowD Bleazey whistles both in blackwood. Workmanship is really good on both, as good as it gets really, I think. The hiD has a beautiful sound, is easy to play up to the D, in tune all the way, even a bit higher if you want. It takes a bit more air at the top end than most whistl...

One of the problems that come up when buying a headjoint for a silver flute is fitting. The diameters have to be within very close tolerances and flutes vary a bit from maker to maker. You can make a headjoint fit messing around with it but I won't buy one unless I can also get the headjoint maker t...

Hi; I play Boehm almost exclusively. I do own a good simple system keyless wood flute. Indeed have tried many. But I cannot get on with the small oval embouchure so I end up back on the Boehm. I have owned a wood Boehm flute, a Rudall Carte 1912 model. Great flute but it never really got even close ...

By pharmaceutical I mean edible. Hydrocarbon based oils are generally not. I am told by Phil Bleazey to use Almond oil on the blackwood hi-D whistle I bought from him. He says that some oils are drying type especially Danish and linseed, (both of which are used as furniture oils I think) and he does...

Paypal
I am also having second thoughts about using paypal ever again. We sometimes pass considerable sums for buying/selling instruments and I hear of a lot of fraud and other problems going on with paypal. My best guess is to be in touch, personally, with the opposite number, preferably by phone, and tra...

Jon;
Can you briefly describe what is involved in making silver keys, or do you prefer to make them from brass and plate them?
I suppose a jewellary making background would be a good thing for this kind of work.
