I listed this in December, but there was something wrong with my notifications. My apologies to those who were interested but did not receive a response... try, try again. Lower price. I'm selling a keyless blackwood flute, that is most certainly a Rudall style design. It has the separate left and r...

I'm selling a keyless blackwood flute, that is most certainly a Rudall style design. It has the separate left and right hand sections, and plays like other Rudalls I've played, including my own. I'm not sure who the maker is. I've had it for a number of years, and use it as a backup flute when I did...

I've got one I'd like to sell. Been meaning to for a while, since I'm playing flute almost exclusively now and don't really need that much volume. Excellent condition, nickel finish, high D, just like the ones on Ebay. I bought it for $350 and will take the same, shipping included in the lower 48, i...

Just stumbled across this. I'm not the seller.

Very helpful post, Ronaldo. Thanks for the information.

I think he meant, "Damn!! You people don't read!!" Yeah, that one :D Still, try contacting Ronaldo, slight modifications of the fipple can change the volume of a whistle... The dimentions of my whistle's bore is 12 mm in case anyone's wondering. Interesting post Lorenzo. The bore on my Si...

I think he meant, "Damn!! You people don't read!!" @Lorenzo- I assure you, I have read every post thoroughly. But I don't think you have read mine!! I specifically referred to Reyburn's NARROW BORE whistle, which is not the same as your Reyburn session bore with lower volume. The larger bo...

I did mention in the opening post not to worry about the cost. I don't have unlimited resources by any stretch of the imagination, but for the purpose of this discussion I didn't want to place any constraints on the options. I've heard Humphrey whistles are great, but they are currently unavailable....

A purer whistle has fewer overtones in its spectrum and so it is less susceptible to this masking. So loudness often comes at the expense of complexity, which means loud whistles sound less sweet. Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe I'm needing a more focused whistle, rather than a louder one. Would a na...

Hi Mark. No, no. My Sindt ain't going anywhere. I'm looking to buy a second whistle for difficult environments. And it's not my session mates that's the problem, but our new venue is a little noisy and most of the patrons wouldn't be watching us directly, so I don't know that the smile trick would w...

My Sindt D is absolutely my favorite whistle. Wouldn't part with it for anything in the world. But lets say I'm at a session, and folks seem to really strain to hear me, especially when I'm changing tunes. Sessions are sometime in noisy places, and that's what I'm up against right now. So I want to ...

Oh, I suppose you sound more solid on that Olwell...but you've been playing it a lot longer, and the Murray for only a day! I can hear some really nice harmonics coming from the Murray, but I don't think you have the embouchure figured out yet. I would really like to hear how it sounds after a few w...

http://www.novasession.org/Bog%20Kit/Tunes/bwreels-20.pdf Not meaning any disrespect, but I do like the irony. At the same time, I agree it's hard to justify those bottom keys given how much extra it costs to get 'em and how little they're used. Nevertheless, I like messing around on mine, and no, I...

Not meaning to bring things back on topic, but wanted to test to see if this is working and the OP suggests this is the right place. Carry on...
