Re: Transitioning from keyless to keyed
Using piper's grip could also set up a quest for a flute with a right hand Bb touch. Some makers have a double touch for either hand. I find playing a Bb in the traditional position a problem. Seems some people get it working, but not me. The RH-Bb removes the need for the left thumb to press that B...

Re: Self made cork bumper for a key?
Easy fix. Do you ever drink wine? From a bottle with a cork? Make sure the cork is real cork-tree bark and not some composite, or a bunch of ground up cork crumbs glued together in the shape of a cylinder. Take the real cork and cut out the exact piece you need, then use a cement that is not permane...

Re: how late can you start??
Go for it. Not a fiddle player here, but I started flute at 55 some time ago. I am now thinking harp might be a great next step to get the left hand doing different things like chords, that would be almost age 70.

Derry/Londonderry Tunes
Hi all, I have been looking at genealogy and an Irish ancestor on my mom’s side. One Hugh Dempsey was born in 1816 and emigrated in 1834 out of Londonderry to Boston. Family lore has not much more than that. How would I go about finding and playing tunes of and from that locale from about 200 years ...

Re: Hunt for alternatives to trad.
Hi, here is a suggestion that might be alternate trad. I have been playing a lot of tunes from the Barnes Books. There are 3 of them, blue original, red, and green, the most recent. These are largely for English Country Dance in America, and other places. My wife has gotten into ECD and she likes he...

Re: What kind of preamp For sm7b
What would be the best way to connect that preamp to a macbook? Is there a best preamp with digital output? To USB-C or Thunderbolt? A separate thrad here mentions the Scarlett series.
I am also considering the SM7B.
Thanks,
L

Re: Learning tight embouchure
This is a great forum for learning, and I appreciate the tips from all over. I think almost all of us have been down this personal journey, all the best for yours. For me, the breath control is as important and is connected to the embouchure. More air pressure equals need for tighter musculature. My...

Re: Rudall & Rose flute (or its data) needed....
My measurement skills are pretty bad, so would offer this flute and ship it to you if it is appealing. The email and your PM don't seem to work. (Email bounced, apologies if you got the message and I got a bogus bounce notice.) This flute is cocus and silver, probably #4183, though could be 4185, or...

Re: Switching Grips (piper's grip to "fluter's claw")
Back to the OP question and then a few comments based on supporting what others have said. Switching grips takes about 5 seconds, but getting comfortable, stable, and really fluent takes a while. Relaxation is very important, I notice you describe the classical grip as a claw. I feel the same way so...

Re: Switching Grips (piper's grip to "fluter's claw")
So I have actually switched back and forth a few times. Started with piper's grip and have alternated every year or two. Using Silver flute more now so that grip goes now. Takes less than a week to switch, a little less each time. The hardest part is the flute balance when going back to piper's grip...
