Wow. That was a nice find for someone.
Apart from the fact that it seems to be a Froment set in excellent nick, the Fureys are arguably as influential as the Chieftains in terms of their impact on Irish music over the last 40 years. Nice to have that link.
from same site…a good place to look now and again for possible bargains
Yes, I came to this site after seeing a restored 8 keyed Rudall flute sold for 18XX €…
