I have a four key Williams flute made in 1982. It has wider rings than the done deal flute, salt spoon keys in wooden key blocks, separate right and left hand sections, and a separate foot joint. I bought it new and paid £120 if I remember correctly. It's a very good flute. Nial Keegan also plays a ...

Interesting question. I'm left handed, and I play the pipes and flute "right-handed". Have no problems playing a "normal set of pipes. I also play the guitar "right.handed". I do however have to use "left handed" tea/coffe cups, screwdrivers, hammers, pencils etc.

Listening to the Rainey's CD recently I wondered if there are any field recordings of their fiddle and flute playing archived anywhere? Prehaps Knowland was the only person to record them?

Andre I'd suggest buying the eight-key Rudall & Rose flute now on done deal.ie that is for sale. It's a good price, and the seller is knowledgable and trustworthy. Also Ireland, like Spain, is a member of the European Union, so no problems with import duties, tax etc. Sorry, just looked, and it'...
