Re: Flute tone
One of the things that happens during the warming up period is that moisture from the breath condenses as droplets on the cool inside of the flute. The location and size of the condensation droplets make a lot of difference to the sound and will be different for different flutes. You can remove som...

Flute tone
I've been playing around 1.5 years, overall embouchure is decent and improving I'd say. I have 2 flutes, a Burns olive wood flute and a Sweet polymer flute, both in D. I can play the Sweet right off but it seems like the Burns takes about ten minutes to warm up? Is this natural for a wooden flute? I...

Re: Re.corder as a stepping stone to whistle for a learner?
Looks pretty cool. I have a TechnoChanter that I use for practicing pipes tunes. It's a solid concept IMO.

Re: Casey Burns Flute
Hello again, I've had this flute a year now and have gotten where I don't completely suck all the time. I play regularly and I have a fine instructor. She is a professional bassoonist, a top notch piper and plays whistle as well. My question is this: I paid ~$300 for this flute but the seller indict...

Re: A sad Lir whistle story

Breathing proficiency on the Irish Flute
I've been playing whistle about a year and flute about 6 months. Flute is a Burns D olive wood. I feel like I have a decent embouchure and tone but not the wind.

"To enter, simply post here telling me the name of your favorite tune in 3/4 time."

Lir whistles
Anyone else experiencing difficulties getting deliveries from Lir? They promised they would ship on a certain day and did not. Also, not very responsive.
