Bb marching band flute.
Hello!
I'd like to get myself a marching band flute, in the key of F or, if there's no option, in Bb. I want it to be polymer, it should have at least 5 keys and a sliding head joint. Also, it should be low pitched. What are my options?
I know, this may seem unreal, but i found "mullen flutes" and they produce ( or used to produce) exactly what I want. The thing is, i cannot order a flute, the site doesn't work and they don't respond on the Instagram.
Miller Browne is an option, but it is high pitched...
Could you help me with this, please?
Kind regards,
Vlad

Hi Vlad
Is this Mullan F flute what you are looking for?.
Erne Music Supplies of Enniskillin are the ones that sell them. Mullan is their brand. I have bought from them, both on eBay and directly using their website, with no problems.

Re: Bb marching band flute.
Yeah, thanks, this is the one, but i still have some problems with the web-site. I guess, these are vpn issues, will try to sort em out.
What is your opinion about mullan flutes? Are these worth purchasing?

Hi Vlad
I am not a flute player, I bought whistles from them. The whistles were well made and robust.

Re: Bb marching band flute.
Miller Browne is great but it is high pitched, this is the only issue. A really want to get a low pitched one.
Im going to try to get the mullan

Re: Bb marching band flute.
So, i got a letter from the mullan flutes. They do not produce low pitch flutes anymore.
So, do I have any other options?

Re: Bb marching band flute.
There is a maker from Northern Ireland who makes aluminium keyed band flutes. But I cannot remember the name and I don't know if they wre shard pitched or not. I hope somebody else remembers that maker. It was posted here not long ago. They were available in a number of different colors, blue, red, green, etc. Looked rather cool.

Re: Bb marching band flute.
I think you are talking about Clifford Rea, I will write him another letter, he didn't reply the previous time

Re: Bb marching band flute.
Yes, that's the one. I need to save his website to my bookmarks. The flutes look kinda cool.

Re: Bb marching band flute.
Many makers seem to have problems keeping up with their email-correspondence . I hope it works out -- I'd be really interested in seeing pics of an alloy keyed flute in F.

Re: Bb marching band flute.
Should I send another email then? Or call him?
Or maybe anyone could help me find another way to speak to the manufacturer? I

Re: Bb marching band flute.
So, i have just called Mr. Rea...
Long story short, he does not produce F flutes, and he didn't answer the question about low pitch. And, i guess he wasn't happy about my call... Maybe , it was my fault, like, a stranger is calling, asking weird questions about flutes, weird accent... I don't know
