One option may be "Celtic Music for Flute" by Jessica Walsh & Allan Alexander. This is a CD and book with chords and music score for the flute. The flute/guitar interplay is very nice.

Since you had good experience with the Sweets have you considered their 4 keyed wooden flute? I have one which I really enjoy and it is fully chromatic. Currently they are listed at $795 USD which converts to about 625 euros (to compare with the M&E price). I have not had experience with a M&...

SOLD!!!

I have a Tony Dixon Rosewood flute I would like to sell. The head is unlined and plays well. The flute is in good condition - no cracks or problems. I am moving to a keyed flute and need to clear the deck to make room for my new acquisition. The case is fine as well. I would like to get $200 for it ...

There are only so many places I can hide flutes and my wife is getting suspicious so one has to go and this beauty got the short straw. :cry: It is a fine instrument.

Paddy Moloney & Sean Potts have a CD entitled, 'tin whistles' - all tracks are solo or duets with only 2 tracks of the 16 having bodhran playing along. Claddagh Records - Atlantic in the US.

I recently bought a wooden headjoint from Doc Jones made by Tony Dixon and am using it on my Dixon 3 piece polymer flute. As Doc advertized, it has a totally different sound and response as compared to when the poly head is on. For lack of a better term it is more 'organic', woody and I can 'stick' ...

I have the first flute you asked about as well as a Dixon 3 piece, non-tunable. The Dixon plays better and 'easier'. The woodon one came with no markings to confirm 'Pakistan' or not. It is in tune and it does play well enough. I have needed to use the tuning slide to play with other instruments and...
