Video clip: Marcus Hernon play one of he´s flutes

Post by ojvoj »

I went over to Connermara, Ireland to pick up my new Hernon-flute, and I recorded Marcus playing my new flute. You can se Fennish islands outside the windows. The little girl is my daughter Julia.

Thank you very much!

Very useful movie, especially for fingering!

Is it the square or the oval embouchure?

I'm sure you enjoyed that journey.

Best wishes.

Beautiful setting, and your daughter is cute!

The flute sounds fantastic ~ Good endorsement! The tune selection really shows off what the flute can do. You're going to enjoy it!

Very nice. The flute seems like a definite honker.

It´s a powerful flute for sure. It will take some time to master it, but I know what it´s capable of.
I think it´s a good idea to visit the maker if it´s possible, to sort out questions.

Hi Pär!
Nice clip, I’m sure you had a good time.

I’ll guess I’ll see you Friday at Anders’s,
If you can, bring both your Murray and your new Hernon sowe can do a little comparison.
That lower register on Ivy Leaf sounds really GREAT! Wow!

Wow indeed. That guy can really play. I'd like to be that good someday. I think it's a long ways away.
