Re: Olwell Birthday 8-key flute in cocuswood and silver (202
Olwell or not, $7,000+ for a flute with such a weird footjoint!? :boggle: Thanks but no thanks! Looks aside, I wonder how usable this footjoint is. I'd be particularly concerned about the Eb key... My guy, it absolutely plays itself. Effortless, instant response, and silent key actuation as well. I...

FS: Olwell Pratten Keyless Blackwood, Silver-lined Head SOLD
Hi All, I’ve decided to part with my Olwell Pratten, which I’ve owned and played for many years. I originally acquired the center section from Aaron while we were both living in Clare. It contains the only remaining piece of the famous I-29 flute, if you’ve ever heard that story. Full details to be ...

Re: Olwell Birthday Flute!
Lads, in the world of professional-grade musical instruments, $7800 is beer money.
How about $30k for a bassoon? Or $300k for a violin? We’ve got it pretty easy.

Re: Olwell Birthday Flute!
Personally, I think it’s horse cool that Aaron has seen fit to become conversant in the language of pin-mounted keys. It opens up a realm of possibilities, which could include (and I’m not saying the Os have plans to offer this) keying up a beloved non-keyed flute, or unconventional layouts that a b...

Olwell Birthday Flute!
Hi all, long time no type. It’s Olwell birthday flute time, and this one’s a crackerjack...and made by Aaron! I may be biased because he’s my mate, but I’ve really been blown away by Aaron’s musical and artisanal development over the last few years. As he’s conquered yet another instrument, the clar...

Re: WTB: Olwell piccolo/fife
Haha, the Baslers used to come up to Freiburg on Sylvester and wreck our heads with those things!
Will keep it in mind if I don't find what I am looking for.

WTB: Olwell piccolo/fife
Hi all,
I've got a young fluther in the house who could use an instrument sized to his wee hands.
Does anyone have an Olwell bamboo fife they'd be willing to part with? Key of D,C, or Bb, in descending order of preference.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Tenor Guitar
Tenor guitars are cool!
They can be a bit quiet for more raucous sessions, but there's always the resonator version...

Re: Why not mandocello?
Back in the day, I used to play a teens Gibson mandocello Irish style, mostly because I thought it was horse cool and there were no interwebz to tell me it wasn't on! It can be a great voice in the right situation, much darker and less tinkly than the usual large mando objects one hears. That said, ...

WTB: "The Northern Fiddler" book
Hi all,
I'm looking for a copy of Allen Feldman and Eamonn O'Doherty's book The Northern Fiddler Music and Musicians of Donegal and Tyrone. Anyone have one they'd part with?
Thanks,
Rob
