Up for trade - delrin Copley flute with silver rings, no tuning slide. Less than a year old. Looking to try out another maker’s flute.

Have already tried Sweet, Seery, And Dixon, so not looking for one of those.

PM if interested, and happy new year!

That is legit heartbreaking. I hope you find a wonderful flute you can play! Lucky you, it only took me 10 days to become sensitized to my dream flute, a brand new Cocus Olwell Pratten. I had actually been playing Blackwood flutes prior to that without issues, however once I became sensitized to the...

Didn’t realize Blackwood was the mostly allergic type. I was picturing more like pau ferro or cocobolo.

Everyone else, thank you for sharing your tunes with me. Delightful! There are a couple I’ve already started working on…

Bearing in mind the spirit of generosity in which this is intended, I’m not going to be hunting around looking too closely at the time signatures. What I will be doing is listening to some new tunes shared by others - I happen to have an affinity for 3/4 feeling tunes - and giving a whistle away. :t...

With the mods’ permission, and in order to show my gratitude for the wealth of information I have gotten here, I am sponsoring a whistle giveaway. Up for grabs - a brand new Chris Wall whistle in “A” (ordered a while ago, but newly received). It works like this: To enter, simply post here telling me...

When I made a bellows, I used adhesive caulk between the wood and leather, then tacked it before the caulk dried.

Can’t speak to the rest, but good luck!

Wow! Gorgeous!

What is white ebony, and how did you come to choose it?

In the market for a Casey Burns flute w/the usual 4 keys (more is good too!)

NOT looking for ergo holes (I play piper’s grip).

Careful not to conflate this as one 'movement'. . . . Once you get your head around it. It important to grasp the structure of the tune and the ornaments are doing there. Things fall into place then. These, 100%. Sometimes a cut and then a pat is just a cut and then a pat. Having the feel of the tu...

Thank you! This, I wasn’t doing:

[- aim the jet higher (blow more across than down)/quote]

Tried it, and have been able to hit some partials. Rather uncontrolled, not notes, but at least high frequencies, which is something to start…

Looking for some tips on getting into the third octave, please. Tighter embouchure, sure, but how do I do that?!? I can hit the 3rd D, but nothing above that…

I would appreciate any helpful tips that worked for you, no matter how idiosyncratic.

Let us know what you find out!
