Chiff and Fipple Forums

thank you all very much, but unfortunately i will stick with the tinwhistles before i figured out a way to fix my cracked bamboo flute :D at first i didn't think this forum is very active (hmmm how many people in the world play Irish flute? i know none in my school) but it turned out my posts are an...

hehe awesome, thank you hatao

thank you very much for answering me.
please forgive my ignorance but what is shellac? it sounds good?
and about the super glue part, if i apply some into the crack, i still can't squeeze them together because the crack is very small and the bamboo is very hard..

Hi people, i've got a bamboo flute, and i've been playing for over 3 months now. somehow i realized that it now has 2 cracks on the flute body (they werent there when i purchased) it's a very playable flute and has a nice tone so i don't want to buy another one. Any one has tips on how to fix it? th...

thank you very much guys, for supporting me. i guess i'll try to get as many good days as possible
i just found out that humming the tunes for hours and then playing it helps too.

HI, i'm a self taught flute/ whistle player, and i've been practicing for about 5 months now. I practice mostly irish trad music. i'm familiar with most of the basic techniques such as cuts, taps, rolls, slides, cranns. For sometimes now i've been learning from videos off the internet (pick up tunes...

hello
sometimes when i play i find it quite enjoyable. However there are times when i have no taste in my own playin at all. those time i think i just play notes, and notes comes out. Anybody has the same problem? can i have some tips please?

i have the same problem too:(
sorry for not being too helpful lol i'm also a beginner

he's really really good! the way he play jigs on nintendo is supercool
by the way are you the tinwhistler trying to find out what people think lol? just joking hehe

i don't think i would go into writing music, i just wanna become a fair whistle/ flute player. however please give me advice :D Since you say that you have little intention to continue at composing tunes, I'm guessing your call for advice refers strictly to your playing, am I right? oh i mean i wou...

YAY, i wrote a tune by accident (unintendedly). I'm so excited. it's the one of a few cool thing i would ever do in my life. I think it sucks though, but it's mine. So anyone wanna check it out? it's on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr7NGurhqIo i don't think i would go into writing music, i...

thank you people for helping, i think i would go for the 8 hole flute as soon as i got the money. I'm considering Dougg Tipple flutes. Your flutes :D oh and beside i see many Tipple flutes are made for easy fingering, does it affect me if i play like a left handed person? (i'm right handed but i lea...

Hi people. After the incident with the pakistani flute i bought in Ebay, i decide to learn more about flutes before actually buying one. so i have come across the 8 hole D flutes and 6 hole D flutes issue. what is the different first of all? do we still play with 6 fingers on a 8 hole flute? which o...

oh thank you for fast responding people, i didn't expect your answers so soon. guess this forum is very active then.
now i finally got it.
oh and by the way i figure out a trick to play a E major on a C whistle: just put a tape half cover on the third hole from the bottom.
it worked quite well.

i just wanna shoot myself now. i bought that thing for 38 dollars. and instead of returning it i tried to tune it and adjust my playing for ten days.
wish i read this before buying
