Jessie, Thank you for posting this. I've been a member of the original Chiff and Fipple boards from the very beginning - if not the first day then within the first month - and I've seen many, many posts by people who have had terrible experiences with Sam Murray. What has been consistently astonish...

Dear Jessie: I think you are VERY brave to post this, flute makers are not gods or nothing like them. Flute makers, luthiers or dealers owe the costumer profesionalism, quality in their work and serious manners. As players, it's very good and nice to admire makers, their work, the beautiful instrume...

Can't still find Terry

Dear Terry; If you are visiting the board please tell me if you received an e-mail from me some days ago.
Sometimes my Gmail gets a little strange.

Thank you!

Hello Folks!! I just want to say how glad I am by receiving yesteday Hammy's new Irish Flute Book and some other incredible stuff. I've been hours studying this great and complete source of knowledge, reading about Flute history, watching incredible pictures of old & new flutes. The book comes w...

Hello everyone! I've been noticing that a lot of players, (specially breton ones) besides from playing their Trad Wooden Flutes, they are actually interested in a flute from India called Bansuri. I knew that Sylvain Barou was an expert on these flutes, also JM Veillon and american Cornell Kinderknec...

PS Diego, your English is far better than many native speakers/writers.

Aww that's so nice from you, thanks

Nothing wrong with your English, Diego (unlike my Latin!). I didn't mean you had expressed yourself badly but that the content of what you said did not make sense to me. I cannot see any physical reason why Pipers' hold should give greater facility at L hand ornamentation nor that a classical/Rocks...

I usually articulate (attack) on the C nat .. since I use a Classical Grip. But I've heard that players with piper's grip have more possibilities on the ornamentation in this note. Since it's more confortable to use a Tap or a Short Roll I guess .. ?????? I'm afraid that doesn't make sense to me, D...
