Amen brother.......don't forget the stainless tuning slide Ahhh..I think I've sinned...I can't think of what whiskey (or was it scotch or brandy ?) cork that I was supposed to replace the original head-end cover with (I don't have one of them new-fangled M&E Rudalls with the R&R) I'm sure I ...

Hmmph! Nobody ever sells M&E Rudalls !!

Leave the tape (white) on under the rubber (black) the compression will proctect it from some variation anyway....in any event it cant crack more than it is (all the way through)....if all else fails bike on down here... I thought them pipers always played that way.... Oh...a while back I bought a &...

Now there's an idea...I think I'll try to flute swap for a viola though...any around ??

Say...why not cut a sleeve from one of your unused bike tubes and stretch it over the flute barrel...save you some exercise too !

I don't know if that's possible..OOps!.....Oh yeah,...I did stick a Dixon whistle head on it.

Oh you of little faith...get out the tape !

There are good embrosure days and others when it casts no reflection in the mirror (this is beginning to worry me !)

Ok....I've listened to it a dozen times with the analyser..it has to be the G flute.....using the full range too !

Boy is that impressive....glass for purity of tone !

Lovely !

Which crystal flute is it ????

I'm using an old cigar display from EBay..hangs on the wall, looks good, has hygrometer, holds 4 flutes nicely (vertical dissassembled)

Saw many different types...

Looked for quite a while before finding one that met the criteria though..

Ya got me Corin..that was my Noy. One note added in proof...because the Noy is nice and light, its more sensitive to the dry weather. The rings loosen easily when it gets too dry...the trick is to feel the loosest one each time you play and humidify the case when needed....this is particularly bad i...

I have a Noy keyless from EBay (no waiting!...see hash on this list last year about multiple orders.. )....Noy definitley has the best workmanship I've seen......sounds as good as the other top flutes (to me)...one of the easiest to sound (generally agreed)

Amen !
