I second the Dave Copley recommendation!!!

I bought one of Jem the Flute’s (a member here) many years ago and still love it. Not sure if he still makes them, but wouldn’t hurt to ask. It’s cylindrical, not conical, but it plays incredibly well!

Good lord! I'm as bad as the original poster!!! I meant to change the "d" to an "n"!!!! To Mr Gumby: to be a little more precise: change "leard" to "learn"...

Mods: Can someone PLEASE change the "b" in the title of the thread to an "n"?!?!? Driving me nuts!

Pat

I kinda think "easy to play flute" is an oxymoron! But I agree that playing any decent flute will only increase your abilities...

Terry:

A LITTLE off topic... Peel and shred the cukes, add some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic salt (maybe some salt and pepper). Trust me!

I’ve actually used Burt’s Bees and it works fine for cork or delrin joints. I think I’ve used lanolin and Chap Stick at various times, too…

Price?

Not sure what you mean… Can you post a diagram or better explanation?

Pat

Thanks!!! Don’t care about the tabs, but like the compilation!!!

JemtheFlute (a member here) used to make one in PVC that plays really well - I have one and love it! You might be able to talk him into resuming production???

Pat

For future reference (and buying, of course), delrin is a good compromise and quite a few makers use it. My current “go to” is a Paul Busman in delrin - it is full of awesomeness! Just played it almost constantly on a two-day reenactment gig.

Woulda been better if you woke up with the taste of Guinness in your mouth!!!

I'd say if you were stranded in Ireland, you'd have lots of places to get a whistle!

However - if it was on an island, I think I'd stick with my Aisling (or maybe a Killarney).

I saw that on the Shop Goodwill site myself - I agree with the earlier posts: Nach Meyer. Sometimes they're OK (but usually not) - hope you got one of the good ones!
