Re: Delrin flute suggestions for 2024?
I have tried many over time (far beyond my skills ). Best ones w.r.t the tone I came across are Copley and John Gallagher Pratten (of course, a subjective evaluation). They are very different w.r.t the tone, volume, and prices though. But I wouldn't be able to trade one for the other

Re: Beginner flute upgrade: Galeon or Copley?
+1 for Copley&Boegli flutes... It's amazing that such a great playing flute is available at a reasonable price. I am not an "expert" player by any means but over the years as I have improved (and tried many other flutes) I have only liked and appreciated mine more. Also people have com...

Re: Rings of Power (on a flute)?
I have a keyed delrin Copley, purposefully with no rings. I love its look, the only metal seen is the tuning slide and keys. To me it looks very modern minimalist kind.
Also got compliments on it a couple times.

Checking for leaks
I recently acquired a new Blackwood flute by a good maker and today suddenly the sound has weakened no matter how I try to blow it. For checking, I am able to get a good sound on my delrin flute (to rule out if it’s one of those days with bad embouchure). Any tips on checking if there’s a leak somew...

Also, for the record it's an amazing flute and I'm worried it may hijack all my flute playing time

Re: Tips for a solid low D on Lesouëf flute.
Thanks all for great suggestions. I concur with Pixyy above that I am able to get a decent D now with a more downward stream. It may be getting used to the flute, but I have a couple other flutes, by similar popular makers, and was able to get a honking D that I could push and lean into right at the...

Tips for a solid low D on Lesouëf flute.
Looking for players of her flute for tips on getting a good bell note. I’m able to get a decent one on a couple other flutes but this one is a tough nut for me.
Thanks in advance!

Re: looking to buy my first Irish flute
I would second Dave Copley too.
Also Terry McGee has an available flutes section on his page, if you're short on time.

Bore roughness and tone
Questions for experienced players/makers… To what extent does bore roughness (or smoothness) influence the tone/playability or other characteristics of the sound? As an example Delrin is probably much smoother than wood in general, and within different woods I’m assuming it varies too (to what exten...
