Hello everyone! About a week ago I have received some flutes in the key of A made by Martin Niethammer that I saw on his youtube channel and I would like to share my impressions. And please excuse my clumsy English. The flutes are called Zouveia (The Fun Flute) and are intended to be used for Blues,...

Here are two pictures of the bombarde with the strange key for the minor third. http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc400/Tuedels/Instruments/bombardesib.jpg http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc400/Tuedels/Instruments/bombarde_reb_key.jpg The big advantage is that you can play in minor with the sa...

That is an interesting point. On my F-flute with six keys I make only use of the short Ab-Key (F-key on the d-flute). My fellow musician from Brittany owns a Bombarde (conical double reed instrument) with a rather peculiar key for the minor third. It has a key-mechanism for the minor third that I ha...

Thank you! Unfortunately it is still the only Japanese tune I have yet learned. In the main I play ITM as well as music from Scotland and Brittany. liked the very high notes, you held those well. This Shinobue has a really good response and is very easy to play and I am sure the seventh hole (F# bel...

Thank you  mutepointe!

And yes I.D.10-t the Shinobue is in A and well tuned:

Here is a recording of a Lullaby from South Japan with way to much reverb :

I received my Piccolo about five month ago and I must admit that this is a great little Flute! Thank you Jem! :thumbsup: After the first week I was well familiarized with its embouchure and the Piccolo revealed nice dynamics and tone colour possibilities. I still need a few moments to warm up and so...

Hi, I just glanced through this thread. I bought a 5-hon shinobue made by Ranjou at the mejiro-store in Tokyo about 3 years ago. It is an “uta”-shinobue (uta means song or ballad) which means that it is properly tuned. They are used to play with other melody instruments or to accompany songs. The “h...

Hi, I have ordered a Ferris F Flute which I received three weeks ago and here comes a little review. I took notice of this flute through the same video that Bretton linked above. I thought that an F Flute with 6 keys for 125 Pounds (the current price at ferrismusic) would be a real bargain. But the ...
