Thankyou so much. Yes, there's many to choose from and hard to pick one out. I was thinking of a Thompson and VDM, but now I just got an mail from David Copley.dyersituations wrote:The typical recommendations I see around here include: Copley, Forbes, Somers, and Shannon. Other names I've read good comments about are: Thompson and Vincenzo Di Mauro. Then there are some makers who also provide Delrin, though the pricing understandable matches their wood flutes (so a little more expensive than the others I've already listed): Paddy Ward, McGee, etc. I've also had an M&E, which was a decent flute at a good price as well. Lots of great options for polymer flutes these days, depending on what style of flute you have in mind.thomasaasen wrote:Other recommendations are "Galeòn Delrin Pratten", " Des Seery" and maybe "McGee Grey Larsen Preferred"?
Any advice and recommendations/suggestions are very welcome, thankyou.
I think I'll go for his and Marlene's flute. I mostly play Irish and folk music, sometimes jazz and other styles for fun. I also play for myself or solo. So I'm thinking about getting an flute in E flat, as Copley also makes. I think I will go for keyless, but I've also thought about two keys.
Anyway, any thoughts about getting an E flat flute as your first? I have small hands, square amd short fingers.
I'm planning to get a D flute from Olwell, keyless. In fact, I will, it's a must for me. So therefore I was thinking about a Delrin and E flat flute.
