I know that the Cheaper Dixon 1 and 2 piece flutes have been rubbished on this forum in favor of the Tipple models.
But what of the Dixon 3 piece tapered bore ??
Here’s my situation, 50 yrs I ago played flute in school and a bit of sax in college.. Now re entering woodwinds playing whistle.. and want to think about getting into Irish flute.
I am not a very wealthy person but I am wondering if I should buy a cheaper Tipple now and then if I rediscover my ability to play leap to a Copley Delrin or equivalent.
Or do I go for the more middle price Dixon tapered bore now and will I be satisfied.
I know the answer is usually buy the best instrument you can afford.
Is the Dixon 3 piece Delrin a better flute than the Tipple…
I am sure many will suggest a Sweet Shannon or some such rare animal.. But I would like to avoid spending weeks searching the used ads..
Thanks for any comments
