Murray Flute Photos

I spoke to Sam Murray last week and he has agreed to create a keyless blackwood instrument for me. I am interested in feedback and especially some more photos of Sam's instruments owned by members and non-members.

I talked with Sam about a 2.25-3mm offset toward the palm for the 3rd 'G' hole and Sam actually suggested medium sized holes and bringing them a bit closer together. I thought both of these appropriate suggestions - as long as the tone is not affected adversely. Again any feedback from those experienced with offset measurements and hole distance is greatly appriciated.

I have considered some of Sam's more intricate silver band work but have not yet decided on the cosmetics for the instrument.

If you have one of Sam's instrument or know someone who does, with or without modification from Sam or elsewhere, I'd love to hear your experiences and see a photo or two.

Thank You
All the Best
Dean

Hi Dean,

I don't own a Murray flute myself.
The only place I know of that contains pictures of a Murray flute is the legendary Flute P0rn thread. Check it out if you haven't already.

cheers
Jeroen

Pär du får komma ner med din Murray nästa gång vi har en session på "Bishops Arms - sist var det ett antal bra flöjter med, en Grinter med klaffar, en Cotter med klaffar, en Williams med klaffar, och en Hamilton

Steampacket has problems with his keyboard, or E.T.s have landed?

Steampacket's telling indecent jokes about a Grinter, a Cotter, a Williams and a Hamilton walking into a bar, and doesn't want us to laugh, too.

Sorry, I forgot - I just said that Pär "ojvoj" should come down to our session at the "Bishops Arms" and bring his Murry as at the last session we had there was a keyed Grinter, a keyed Cotter, a keyed Williams and a Hamilton. thinking it would be nice to compare - that's all -

Here's one for ye all: A friend, Oswold, went into a shady part of town a week ago, with his Olwell on the back seat of his car. He parked outside a pub and went in for a tonic water. The barman asked him if he locked his car doors. Oh no! shouted Oswold, and rushed out to the car park - too late!! - someone had opened the passenger door and thrown in another Olwell --- He He, couldn't resist

Thanks Ojovj -
I saw your original post with the photo and it really turned me toward Sam and his instruments. Love the photo.

I also read your post about the Marcus Hernon flute. Marcus returned my email today and am looking forward to his work as well.

Thanks everyone for the feedback ...

All the Best
Dean
