Finally got around to listening to this, excellent stuff, thanks for posting it Jem!

I had a rosewood Doyle for about 5 years until I got my J. Gallagher 8-key; great flutes with a huge sound and super easy to play. They do have a bit of a bell at the end, great for blasting out hard Ds! The bores on these seem to have a pretty wide diameter, I never actually measured mine when I ha...

Just posted the last of the release show videos; Lonseome City.

Here's another from the EP release Humours of Ballyloughlin this one's on the Eb iteration of the J. Gallagher with my friend Richie Rosencrans on the zouk.

Another vote for the Copley delrin; great flutes at a great price by one of the, in my experience, easiest makers to work with. I've had one as a back-up for ~5 years and it's always served me well!

Posted another original song from that show Can't Stop Trying.

Here's a video from my EP release Patsy Hanley's/The Boys of Ballisodare/The Crosses of Annagh on my J. Gallagher 8 key dogwood Pratten D.

Posted this trad style original song Coins on the Ground played on my Fylde long scale archtop bouzouki at my recent EP release (free download and streaming link below).

Forgot to put this in before, you can also stream it on Spotify and Napster.

It barks.

When I tell people it's dogwood I say that's how I get such a great bark out of it!

By the way, both of these flutes are dogwood. In my case, one of his first out of the material, with the warning that there might be more movement than from boxwood / blackwood. I had a dogwood flute (keyless), and its response to humidity was dependably fast and extreme in the joints. I had to bin...
