Re: Joe Heaney: Song of Granite

Re: Beginner with Flute Questions
I've been working on the reel, "Come West Along the Road," and I've been having some trouble keeping the rhythm of the music. Does anyone have any advice on ways to keep the rhythm of a tune?

Re: 5 great fluters on one web page...
I found that there are two albums from Peter Horan on iTunes. I was wondering if anyone knows of any albums from these older flute players? Thanks.

Re: Beginner with Flute Questions
Alright I have ordered a Copley flute with rings, now the wait begins! Apparently there is a 12 week wait. Does anyone have any good ideas to pass the time?

Re: Beginner with Flute Questions
Thank you all very much. I am a little concerned about the embouchure but I do want to get into this. I will likely order the Copley today.

Re: Beginner with Flute Questions
Actually I'm in Virginia. I noticed that Seery's are available at a couple of places. I'm not sure how much shipping costs but I think it's worth it.

Hello!
Hello,
I'm Connor and I am a complete beginner when it comes to the whistle. I recently purchased a Freeman Tweaked Generation D and I have just started picking things up a bit. I look forward to learning about the whistle and contributing to chiff and fipple as I gain some experience!
