I thought Arbo did a fine job on those--we've already shared some discussion over these tunes, but I do want to say again that he's knocking one hell of a fine tone out of the flute and playing with a really contagious enthusiasm--I love the almost-harsh barking pulses that he plays with.

He had wanted me to do recordings of these tunes as well. One of these tunes--Green Mountain--is very familiar to me as I've played it and played it in session for years. The other--Crooked Road to Dublin--is a tune that I've read through several times but have not yet made my own.

I'll share those recordings here as well. Like I told Arbo, I'm not completely happy with these recordings--but if I waited for recordings that I was completely happy with, I'd never post anything.

These recordings are, of course, still me. There are things I do pretty well and I think I did them pretty well here; things that I usually don't do so well on, I most likely still didn't. For good for or bad, they are mine.

I was making a clip of this little Metzler left handed band flute today to send to two of
my pals who are lefties to see if they might be interested but I had too much fun playing it
to let it go for now.

It plays really nicely. I was reminded of the tune by hup's video.

A tune I learned but never play that often it's a great tune. Sorry for the dodgy timing half way through
I started thinking of my poor neighbors and all the piccolo practice lately.

Still trying to get a nice clip of my Jem piccolo maybe tomorrow.

Sounds good, Arbo.

Sounds good, Arbo.

Thanks Doug! sorry it was not played on one of your flutes. Btw, I still have that Bb with the extremely large first finger hole.... anything you can do about that?

Hi,

I got this recording from John Carlos playing at Sligo Summer School this year, but I can't remember the title of this tune :

Any idea ?

Many thanks.

Cheers,

Pascal.

PS : The recording does not justice to John's playing cause it has been made with a cell phone.

A couple of new video clips from me, done to give a work out of my latest overhaul/repair flute and demonstrate it to its owner. It's a probably early C20th anonymous German "nach Meyer" style jobbie - one of the pretty decent ones.

I'm afraid these are only on Facebook, but should be on open-to-all viewing. There will be an album of "after" photos too, but I haven't had time yet to edit and upload them.

Demo 1 - scales, Alloa House (air), Michael Coleman Set (reels)
Demo 2 - Morwyn y Pentre Set (3 Welsh tunes)

Playing around with my playing style here...trying for more of that "on the edge" sound:

Open to thoughts, comments, advise to never play again...it's all good.

Clip of me trying out the new Copley Delrin F:

For Sake of Old Decency

Kieran O'Hare gave us the tune when he and Liz stopped by the Riley School when they played a gig here in Cincinnati.

Hello. My wife and I recorded two set dances. She played a Bb/F concertina and I played a Grinter C flute.

The Orange Rouge (set dance) - Bb/F Concertina and C Flute Duet

Though my C flute is a little difficult for me to play, I enjoy playing it very much!

Cheers,

How about a sample of this in your more usual style? Your phrasing sounds a bit rushed in places. ie the note lengths within the bars, the sub division of the beat? The main beat itself seems fine.

I was in a kinda slow jiggy mood tonight.... so I recorded these two jigs just on a whim.... some mistakes, but hey.... it was a first take and I went with it.
