I've decided to sell my Traveller D whistle, it's been woefully underused as I mainly play flute. I've listed it on ebay - item number 121077421492.

I recently purchased a practice set, the seller described the set as being vintage - pre 1900's (at least the chanter was of this age). Having received the set I am feeling less than convinced that this is a vintage set, but being a total novice at this instrument I can only base my feeling on exper...

Mmmm had half an eye out for an Eb the other day when this came up on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=014. Unfortunately I forgot about that one - how much do you want for your one?

When I play a new flute there are many qualities that I assess such as tone, dynamics, responsiveness, tuning, feel, keywork etc etc. When playing to a tuner I can play most flutes in tune. I'm sure my tuning wanders without such an 'aid'. But the fine tuning of flutes is just one aspect of a flutes...

I'm afraid little is known about Bilton, though the craftmanship is excellent. Here is a photo of my 8 key.

A search for 'the claw' should answer your questions.

I had it pegged for a cockerel - the poster perhaps referring to the ongoing cockfight?

I had to dig deep into my bag of flutes but I found an old Lambe with reform headjoint (lefty).



Incidently, in a recent interview Eugene says that he considers his reform headed flutes his best.

It's a shame you don't live in the UK as I have a small holed Eugene Lambe flute that would make a good starter flute for you. I'm looking for £150 for it but I doubt it would be worth it for you especially with the weak dollar at the moment. But it's there if you want - oh it's a lefty embouchure (...

Yup much better on the pics now. Yes I'm afraid there is little doubt about it. Fixed a crack in one of these for a friend once, and although it could be played in tune the tone was somewhat fuzzy.

Quite a page mauler that one! I'm afraid you can read all about this flute in the sticky above - the one on flutes from Pakistan.

I've tried one of these ornate ringed cocus Milhouse flutes (8 keyed) - by the looks of the one I tried it must have been one his later flutes. It played very well with good intonation and I remember the response was very good. Can't you have it on approval for a week or so? Let me know if you do ge...

I've been trying to get Finale to play rolls - with little success. Help would be appreciated.
