I've ordered my Burke !

Post by Butterfly »

Hi !

I've just ordered my Burke brass narrow bore. I don't know if there's any waitinglist, so I'll just be waiting here patiently.

I'll let you know as soon as it has arrived (well, after trying it first, that is..... :wink: )

Well color me green! I really want one of those! Unfortunately I'd have to sell one of my children to get one right now. :D

Be waiting to hear!

congrats! Burkes truly sound wonderful, you can make it sing like a lark in the morning. I have an Al-NB Pro in D, and am thinking of getting a brass one soon as I've collected enough yen. People say brass ones got warmer tone...will be waiting for the review! :)

I got my Burke brass pro session last May. It's wonderful! I got it just a few days after I ordered it.

Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

I played a friends Burke Narrow Bore and couldn't distinguish a difference between it and the Pro Session....I mean, I know they look different and the hole size is different, but volume level was virtually the same and playability was about the same. I guess it might be easier to half hole the pro session....anybody else notice the same thing.

So far my favorite is the Sweetone. My dogs don't like it when I play the Susato, they want to get out of the room. When I play the Sweetone they fall asleep, the puppy sometimes even on my lap.

But it's not the Susato that is to blame, I think it's my playing.

The whistle everybody likes the most is my Dixon Low D.

Just can't wait to see wat they will think of the Burke.............Hope it's going to be another favorite.

I think you'll find that the Burke has a richer, more complex sound than the Sweetone, and is MUCH easier on the ears than the Susato!

Not a bad exchange, really. Even better if you sell a couple... :thumbsup:

Somewhat off-track:

This morning, my wife remarked that although she'd never even thought of drowning our kids when they were babies (response to the latest Andrea Yates news on the TV, I think), now that they are older and talk back she's occasionally tempted to strangle them.

Much as I love our kids, I understood exactly what she meant.

I've ordered a Burke recently as well. I'm not sure how long it will take to get here but I'm excited.
