Re: Why One Key?
You'd want to be sure that particular flute is intended for Irish music or whatever genre you're interested in. Baroque flutes (which may often have the 1-key for Eb) have a smaller embouchure hole than Irish flutes. They may also be at a different pitch (not A=440 or approximately so) for playing ...

Re: Why One Key?
In addition to what tstermitz said, it helps with some notes in the third octave, although additional keys can be useful and/or necessary, depending on the flute. It also helps with the odd tune in E harmonic minor, such as The White Petticoat. But the real question is: why would you want less than...

Re: Why One Key?
On a small holed flute you can play most notes to a good or very good quality by half-holing or fork fingerings. Eb is the one note that is pretty much impossible to play. That makes sense! I play whistle but not with other people and haven't really gotten into half-holing yet other than as a more ...

FOUND: WTB Wood Keyless Flute (Copley, Olwell, Gallagher) OR Delrin Copley
I'm looking for a wood keyless flute and am most interested in something from Copley, Olwell, or Gallagher. Smaller hands so I'd be most interested in Rudall-style models, and I'm a little nervous about large hole models. I know that's a very specific ask but figured there's no harm in putting it ou...

Re: FS: Bryan Byrne Keyless Flute
I think I've successfully done it. This is really testing my recall of my early-2000s online forum skills. I think my brain thought we were done with those because I'm having trouble accessing them.

Why One Key?
Hello! I'm new to the forum. Boehm flute player to whistle to looking-to-buy an Irish flute. I have Googled this question but just haven't come up with an answer that satisfies. Why would I want one key (and the Eb key at that) on a flute? I'm sure there's an excellent reason, but I don't understand...

Re: Whistle and flute
This is a helpful discussion. I went from classical Boehm flute to whistle, and now I'm in the market for an Irish flute. It's been so long since I played my Boehm flute seriously that I suspect I'll need to rebuild my embouchure from square one. I appreciate the bit about bit about the struggles of...

Re: FS: Bryan Byrne Keyless Flute
Hello! I was checking out this forum based on the recommendation of a member of an Irish flute Facebook group who knew I was looking for a solid used instrument. I saw this post and joined the forum in order to contact you, but I now find that I'm not able to private message you until I've proven th...
