Ellis Ebonite Pratten-style flute demo

Post by jemtheflute »

I managed (during my pre-Xmas break visiting my dad in Spain) to squeeze out an initial demo of the [url=https://www.ellisflutes.com=]Geoffrey Ellis Flutes[/url] marbled Ebonite Pratten's Perfected style keyless flute I have for feedback/review. I'm not going to comment here on my opinions about it until I send Geoffrey my considered evaluation, and some of the playing here is rougher than I'd like, but I don't think I've done it any major injustice, and myself no worse than usual....

Tell us something.: I'm a historian and the author of "The Beat Cop:Chicago's Chief O'Neill and the Creation of Irish Music," published by the University of Chicago in 2022. I live in Arlington VA and play the flute sincerely but not well

Sounds great! Also sounds like my Ellis, which isn't marbled, which no doubt explains why I can't play as well!

Marbled? Does that mean it´s a Wagyu flute? :D
