Is this a debate about intent and utterance on C&F Flute forum?. I think that may be OT so I reply to you in PM.

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

and I am still searching for a nice conical bore synthetic model IOW thanks for the reco, but I pass on the selection. I don't understand... you say you are and always will be Kevin's fan yet reject his list of some of the best polymer flutes available because of 'reports of wimpy sounding E, B and...

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

It's known that Pakistani quality is hit-or-miss at best. I personally have never yet been pleasantly surprised, much as I would like to be. If Fildafluter's source has solid info that can sweep away our misgivings, then let's have it. Ok fair cop! I did not know the rules about posting prices in d...

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

I have no idea what the delrin flutes you recco are like, except for reports of wimpy sounding E, B and almost silent C natural So why pass on hearsay? I have just one of them (Copley), but can tell you from personal experience that it has none of those faults! and like myself grew up in Ireland I'...

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

OK, if we're going to be a hot mess, anyway, I might as well throw this in before we get this thread locked. First off, the Original Poster can purchase the Hammy Practice flute direct from Hammy for less, $93 (Euro 85) new & worldwide shipping included. http://hamiltonflutes.com/Prices_Waiting...

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

Wonderful suggestions so far! I only have about $400 to spend unfortunately. I would prefer wood, but it isn't absolutely a must. Delrin would be okay. I would like to have something that I can grow into and not outgrow in six months. I also, hopefully, will be relocating out of southern Colorado w...

Re: Help Choosing Irish Flute

I have a little bit of experience with regular silver Boehm flutes and some experience with tin whistles. I'd like to purchase a simple system Irish flute. I've been looking at McNeela's offerings. I don't have a tremendous amount to spend, so I've focused on two models. First if the "New Iris...

FS : Hammy Mamilton Student D Irish Flute.

Solid louder low D on this one, really does smother everything else ...lol Any more it is too much for my smaller hands. Notice the unusual cut of the embouchure, it will do lots a overtone/s, which delights when found. $100 firm. Free shipping US 48, otherwise will have to negotiate the higher inte...

Re: WTT yes to TRY, non wood keyless D flute.

The Irish Flute Store has a 7 day trial period for purchases, with the buyer paying shipping on a return. Seven days would seem to be long enough to figure out if a conical bore Delrin flute is what you're looking for. The inventory varies, but there are usually a few Delrin flutes available for sa...

WTT yes to TRY, non wood keyless D flute.

In the festive season .... Hopefully some body will agree to help me with this. I want to try out a non-wood keyless conical bore D Irish flute because I find it harder to reach the E and F stops on my cylinder model. Delrin, whatever material, but not wood because I think it safer for my needs. But...
