Hi y'all,
I'm seriously considering acquiring an 8-key Ormiston flute, was wondering what others thought of them.
I'm currently playing an older keyless Copeland, a lovely instrument, but having a fully keyed instrument is sounding more and more attractive.
Has anyone played both a Copeland and an Ormiston who could give me some sense of how they compare. My current Copeland requires a good bit of air to really sing, the first octave C# takes a bit of attention to keep it from playing flat, other than that its a very nice and loud instrument.
Cheers and thanks for any help!

Hi Michael,
I also have a Ormiston/keyless/blackwood, and I am growing fonder of it each time I play it.
I am by no means an experienced player nor have I played a Copeland or any other "major" makers for that matter.
The point is I am not looking for any other flute because I just love my Ormiston.
Now if I could only improve my C natural ...
but that has nothing to do with the flute.
