I suspect this is fairly controversial, which usually means that there isn't one truly correct answer. In the bagpipe world, it's a common fallacy that one should keep their fingers close, with small movements, so one can play faster. In actuality, the practice and teaching of most high level player...

I've often remarked on this myself. A whistle is just as affordable and probably easier to play than a recorder, so why not? I've got a whistle in my 2 year old's hands already. Although he can only play a very ear piercing second octave c#, he likes to toot along with dad. I have a high g whistle t...

It depends on your goals, but have you thought about a flute other than in D?

If you do well with a D flute made for small hands, then an Eb from any maker may work well for you.

You could also consider something like an ergonomic D model from Dave Copley with an additional Eb body.

I have a couple of what look to be those McNeela cases I bought on AliExpress. The two I have don't seal well at all. If I run them under a faucet whatever's inside gets very wet. I've tried a couple ways to seal them but no luck. The McNeela cases look to be exactly the same, but maybe not. I boug...

I keep my delrin flute in a cloth roll, as suggested above. I keep both of my keyed wood flutes in these (I have one for each flute): https://mcneelamusic.com/wind/flutes/flute-whistle-combo-hard-case/ It has a substantial wall thickness and the quality is quite good. It is also sealed, so humidity ...

If this were to be done to a flute, I wonder if you could just make a second end cap to the headjoint with a hole in the center for the piezo? Then it would sit right next to the head joint cork.

Look at this gorgeous Copley Eb 4-key in pink ivory I received last week. It sounds just as good as it looks!

This flute was made in March 2022. It has great energy and intonation while being easy to blow. Dave put a little combing on the ends of the flute for decoration.

Hey Mike, so sorry - this was snatched up pretty quickly and is sold.

Low D Whistle, aluminum and tunable. Unfortunately I'm not sure who the maker is. It has a fairly ethereal sound, quite nice. Size wise the hole spacing is basically identical to the MK Pro, but the holes (and whistle diameter) are a bit bigger. I've included a picture of the whistle next to an MK P...

Hi all,

Looking to see if anyone has a Lehart Keyless they're interested in parting with. I'm in the US.

Feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks!

I have volumes 1 and 2. They are very well done, and a great value (I think they're like $11 each?).

They remind me of middle and high school band books I had, but a more mature, adult version.

I'll add, I had emailed Sandra maybe a week ago and it was available. It just so happened one also popped up on Irish Flute Store that same day and I purchased from Blayne.

It's an excellent low D Whistle and worth the price new, and definitely worth $300 used.

Sandra: I attempted a private message, but it seems you might not be set up to receive them. I play a green MK Pro low f, on stage. While I am satisfied with my black Howard low D, I have always wanted to purchase one of Mischa's MK Pro low D whistles in green . When I last checked with him in Scot...

Interesting in purchasing a used low G whistle. Particularly interested in MK Pro or similar level.
