Re: What's the difference between a 6 or a 4 keys Irish flute?

Frustration. A 4-key with Bb, G#, short F and Eb keys is fully chromatic using a cross-fingering for Cnat, but its limitations very quickly get annoying. The usual 5th addition would be a C key and the 6th a long F key to facilitate D-fnat and Eb-fnat changes. I find the debates about adding this or...

Re: Help with flute identification

Yes, Camac. Dreadful things. That turned embouchure platform is terribly uncomfortable, not wide enough for the average face. I tried them in music shops in GB in the late 70s and later knew a couple of people who owned them and I got to try them again. They're better than the typical Pakistani tabl...

I've just checked and so far as I can tell *ALL* the links in the OP of the Fingering Chart sticky are functional.

We should also note this project by the fantastic German player Anne Pustlauk, already mentioned up-thread. She is working her way through recording all the competition pieces written by Tulou for the Paris Conservatoire annual examinations, with research on the competing students and their instrume...

Re: Classical music on Irsh flute (with keys)?

Of course, the flutes are not "Irish"!!! The modern-made "Irish" flute is based on mid C19th English Romantic era flutes, and they were members of a Europe-wide family with different national styles of manufacture and sound aesthetic, but the same basic technology, all made with ...

I see my flageolet efforts are being cited - thanks for the heads-up, stringbed. I haven't read the whole thread, just the most recent 2 or 3 pages, and and not sure I'm particularly interested in the whole topic! Nor am I sure I have anything very much to contribute here, but I'll try to write a fe...

Re: Serial numbers of deceased Rudall simple system flutes?

Well, I have acquired RRC&Co. #6160 and it's very much not a "deceased" flute but a re-emergent one. Sure, it needs some work, but it's a grand instrument! Thanks, Cliff! There are some photos here: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10161170844019271&id=605989270 And an...

Re: Serial numbers of deceased Rudall simple system flutes?

RRC #6160 predates the extant Rudall Carte record books (which start in 1869- earlier records were lost). Rudall, Rose & Carte were at 100 new Bond Street from mid 1852 until some time in 1857, although they also had premises at 20 Charing Cross from 1854, so address stamps are not very clear da...
