Re: Beginner question Pratten vs Rudall

I have played a lot of wooden flute and I never found a pratten flute hard to play, however I found some rudall models with a very critical embouchure. I think the this story about rudall for beginners has not a real base. And between Rudall and Pratten, I will take a big holes rudall with no hesita...

Re: FS: M&E D Keyless

If your selling a 'right' top hand layout, it will not be as useful as the standard layout. Too shipping on it would be very high. Just paid US $24 to ship 1 Lb to the Uk. Nice pictures :D It´s a righ handed flute, the offset is designed for that. Postage from spain to any part of the world is not ...

Re: Tips for a concert

Eat a banana earlier to help with the nervousness. Bring spare equipment/instruments. Do you double at all on whistle? A Banana could be a great help to me :D . Just bought some of them this afternoon. I like the bananas and potasium is fine for tired muscles. It is a 90 minutes concert and I have ...

Re: Question about olwell waiting list

I sent an email to them 3 years ago asking for their waiting list and I never recieved any answer. A friend who knows Aaron offered to facilitate the contact but finally I decided on another maker.

Re: Early learners

I'm relatively new to the flute. I bought a Copely keyless blackwood a few years ago, but have been practicing seriously for a few months now. Also picked up high and low D whistles. I've tried lessons from OAIM, a couple private teachers, YouTube, etc., but by far, for me, the best resource I've f...

Yes, this is what happens in my country, you should only have problems if the customs agents think that you are selling instruments made with forbidden woods. You're only going to carry one, so unless yo...
