A beautiful B&S flute I got from Jem. Thanks to him.
Old english flutes are also fine to play barock- music, exercising correct use of keys by 19. century fingering.
BTW, you can generously ignore the use of the F-nat key for playing F-sharp. You may excuse, Jem, but it does sound pretty well for these barock tunes getting the F-sharp somewhat flatter.
And the source for these tunes : www. flute tunes.com . one new tune for each day, for beginners too.
Irish flutes do play very well these old tunes, and you can play them in ITM-stye too if you want .

keep on tooting, Herbert

There are several nice selections available if you search for Adrianne Greenbaum on YouTube.

There is a vast amount of material in English printed and manuscript sources of the 17-19th centuries - whether you want to define it as folk, traditional or popular dance music. A great many fiddlers' tune books - containing a lot of flutable pieces - have been transcribed and published or are available online. But a good starting point might be an attractive and compact new book compiled by Chris Green, "The Musick Meeting", obtainable via http://www.themusickmeeting.co.uk/ (the same website also has a link to one of the classic collections of English, especially Northern music, "John of the Greeny Cheshire Way"). "The Musick Meeting” has plenty of G and D tunes but C major and flat key pieces too, so it is a good workout if you want to venture into new tonal territory.
Another interesting repertoire - genuine flute music - is that of James Oswald, the 18th-century London-based Scotsman. His "Caledonian Pocket Companion" of "Favourite Scotch Tunes with Variations for the German Flute" is full of plangent melodies mostly in D and G, most of which are followed by variation sets that never become virtuosic but present a few challenges. And you can download various editions – adding up to a lifetime’s worth of music - online for nowt from the National Library of Scotland -

I play with a group run by an ethnomusicologist with a taste for blues. So I've played everything from Nino Rota and Queen to Klezmer and Armenian folk tunes, without keys. It helps a lot to have instruments in several keys (i.e. and learn to transpose) and know how to half-hole a D# (which takes persistence) and be willing to rewrite incidental bits such as ornamentation. It's a bit of a lottery whether a tune from some random place is going to be easy or hard to play on a simple system flute, but I've also had occasional bad experiences with traditional Celtic-type music written for violin. Song tunes are usually good, because they don't have the fast ornamentation that can be evil if you're not playing the intended instrument. One book that helped make me brave, long ago, was "Baroque and Folk Tunes for Recorder" by Leo Alfassy, which has pieces from Bach through Joplin.
