Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Yep. Full permissions, now. Somehow Connor slipped our notice, and we're sorry about that. And check your PMs, Connor.

Should have been sooner. I'm still confounded as to how we missed it, but but so long as all's well... :)

I've been working on the reel, "Come West Along the Road," and I've been having some trouble keeping the rhythm of the music. Does anyone have any advice on ways to keep the rhythm of a tune?

Tell us something.: I'm interested in learning what issues flute players have with flutes they own or want to own. I might also be able to give some advice on simple repairs.

I make good Irish style flutes in African Blackwood and Mopane for people from everywhere and all musical backgrounds. They’re relatively affordable and you don’t have to wait forever.
