Opinion on blackwood keyless makers for $1000 USD or less...
My impression (three years plus change) is that lined flutesolives wrote:Wow, thanks for all the great suggestions.
My friend's whistle playing can be described as punchy with a lot of tongueing details. As far as favorite players, I think Seamus Egan, Mary Bergin, and Joannie Madden might top the list.
tend to project better than unlined. There may be exceptions.
Somebody playing
in venues where s/he wishes to be heard might prefer
lined. So Patrick Olwell, speaking about his flutes, which
come both lined and unlined, tells me that if he's playing
in the shop, he'll use an unlined flute; outside, at a session,
say, a lined one. Somebody who is playing punchy and
admires those people might wish lined, especially if
he wishes to play in sessions.

Thanks! I won't leave it up long, because Ms. Bergin would probably be less than amused.Loren wrote:Cat, your latest avatar is killing me!

Let's just say I can't pass up a good double-dog dare.
(and FWIW, "I double-dog dare you to give me your Murray" does not qualify as a good double-dog-dare)

Olives, I'm with Mary (the Whistlin' Dixie Mary, that is -- no flames shoot out of my whistle, that's for sure .... although once, when I was at band camp? I was drinking a Diet Coke and playing my whistle? And ... (that's for you, BuMFWa. 
)
Anyway .... call the Doc. I bet your lucky friend will be happy with any maker mentioned here.

Oh come on. You went to school, right? You must know that rather than suggesting they stop & go to their respective corners, we should all crowd around in a circle and chant their names until they soundly beat one another to a bloody pulp, hurrah.Joseph E.

I'd prefer to read Gary and Unseen going at each other than the mindless drivel their tiff has caused.
Time will tell who has fell and who's been left behind,
Most likely you'll go your way, I'll go mine.
