Woo Hoo! Finally got one! Thanks Dave!

Keep them oiled and you shouldn't have any problems. Not the whole story when you need to keep them adequately hydrated as well and neither oiling nor hydration in isolation is likely to give your flute everything it needs. Oil to protect the bore surface (and outside too if you like), but hydrate ...

Yeah, but it's really hard to get those cyclists to stop long enough for your to cut a new band when you need one.

You do realize that a pretty high percentage of the sets on uilleannobsession are located in the EU, don't you? There are plenty of sets here: http://www.uilleannobsession.com/classifieds.html Too true PJ, but buying from outside the EU has a downside - 20% plus mark up due to import taxes and VAT -...

Thanks for posting this, Kevin. I peeked at a bit, and can't wait to watch the whole thing.

That's odd. All I've seen all day is the word "Image."

Thanks, I'd love to. Need to see what my schedule and budget looks like before then. I've meant to go to O'Flaherty for several years, but always had time conflicts. Maybe this year.

lovely work.

You see I've been through the desert playin' a jig with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. Sorry Hildegard. Sometimes I just can't help myself. :D That IS a nice sounding chanter, and a lovely tune. T...
