Chiff and Fipple Forums

I find my susato to check those boxes. I also like how it sounds and plays.

Yeah, he said that normally his wait list was a year for keyless but that right now it is closer to 8 months. Which suits me fine. Also got on his keyed flute list I figure that in 6-10 years I will be ready for it.

Curious to see what it goes for. I'm currently on the list for an Olwell keyless and he quoted me 8 months wait, which is really not bad.

People talk about tune names before they play them? Quite right. People talk about tune names after they play them. To (roughly) quote Ciaran Carson in Last Night's Fun: "What was that one called?" "Ask my father." My favorite tune typo has to be The Grease in the Bog on some do...

I have a Tipple D for sale. It has a lip plate and the wedge in the head. Nice player.

Thanks!

The only one of the whistles you listed that I own is the impempe. Its a powerful whistle but has a great sound, especially in the lower octave. Its a wide bore and has a pretty sizable breath requirement, especially in the upper octave. I would describe the sound as edgy and powerful, it is quite p...

To sound idiomatic it is far more important to play rhythmically and with the correct technique than with a particular sort of tone. T...

Knew those wouldn't fly under the radar. If people don't bid it up too high someone might get a deal on something that could be fixed up to be quite nice. Bidding on them myself but I probably don't have what they will go for.

It's interesting to see this. I haven't played enough simple system flutes to know the difference but it makes some sense from my orchestral flute background. The better flutes there are both harder and easier. On a modern flute a good instrument has an easier key mechanism which plays with less eff...

There is a Boston pipeworks practice set on ebay right now for less. Those Are Well Thought of. There is a hamon set for sale on fb for that too.

I have a daye chanter. Not only is it a good starting point, it's a great chanter. If they weren't cheap, I think they would be very well thought of.

yeah I don't disagree but I'm not really talking about amazing instruments here. serviceable ones would do.
