Re: Accompaniment music for flutes
I agree completely. You get what you pay for. You've taken it much further than I ever did. Really, I just used the bare-bones product to play Alf's files and work on getting my session tunes up to speed. The result sounded pretty much like cr*p at home, but prepared me well for session rhythms and ...

Re: Accompaniment music for flutes
That's the one. Run it through a decent stereo system, and you'll be very impressed. Your family may never see you again.

Re: Accompaniment music for flutes
Right. Really, really good for jazz, blues and rock players, too. Great for learning to improvise over changes.

Re: Accompaniment music for flutes
A bit, but it was a few years ago, and I didn't really pursue it. BIAB was always very secondary to my weekly live session. Even the old styles are very usable for practice purposes, though.

Re: What Whistle Is This?
Listening, playing and collecting are three entirely different disciplines. I prefer them in that order.

Re: Accompaniment music for flutes
If you opt for BIAB, (which I highly recommend), you can get hundreds of pre-programmed ITM tunes for free here: http://www.alfwarnock.info/alfs/biab.php I've spent many hours with them, and it got me up to session speed.

FS: Morse Ceili Anglo C/G Concertina
This is a 30-key Morse 'Ceili' model, tuned C/G, satin black finish, with Jeffries-style fingering layout. Serial# 1162. It has been gently played in, but is in basically "as-new" condition. Includes the fitted hardshell case and papers, (I assume the five-year warrantee will transfer with...

FS: McGee Eb Rudall Perfected
https://app.box.com/s/m4v2yy2adn394fibq7vc This was offered up a couple of months ago, and didn't sell. It's really a lovely flute, but I'm no longer able to play, and everything must go. I'll give it a few days here, and then off to eBay with it. Here's the scoop: Keyless blackwood flute in Eb. Mar...

Re: HELP!!! advice SKIP HEALYS CHROMATIC KEYLESS FLUTE please
I had a brief fling years ago with a 10-hole fife (Cooperman), and really could never get the hang of it. I'm with MTGuru on this one. A keyless irish flute can do just about everything you need for Irish trad. A keyed Irish flute is useful if you're branching out within the trad world, and a contem...

Re: Another Tipple example....
Very nice. What provided the drone?
And what was the awesome piping that followed next in the queue? Please don't tell me that was you?!!!

Re: Best Session Tunes For Beginners To Learn
The best advice I think you'll get is to go down to your pub on Thursday nights, and just listen. Maybe record, if they're amenable. Then you can choose to learn tunes you like that you know will be getting play in your session. Don't rush it --- just enjoy the journey!

Re: GREAT mandolin bargain!
That's an outstanding price for a solid-top instrument from a reliable company. I'm aggressively downsizing my instrument collection due to health issues. Otherwise, I'd be all over this.

Re: Harmonica Question: Paddy-Richter vs. Solo Tuned for Irish?
I've wondered the same, and don't have a clear answer for you. You can play Irish trad on either just fine. I'm not too into the tremolo sound, so my only solo-tuned harmonica is a chromatic. It's fine for playing Irish music. But I've really come to love the Seydel harps in Paddy Richter tuning bet...

Re: John McKenna 2 CD: The Buck from the Mountain
Seven days from order to doorstep. I, too, had many of these recordings, and almost didn't jump on this set. What a mistake that would have been!
