Uh oh... :D

Post by Congratulations »

I got my Hamilton today! It's lovely! I find it surprisingly easy to play, having only ever played an M+E. And I get a much better tone off the Hammy, as well. Go fig. Think I'll keep the M+E around for a while, though, as it's still a very nice flute.

Anyway, this is a thread for you guys to say "Yippee!" or something, and add one more onto your post count. :lol:

Wahoo!

You might find it uncomfortable moving between that nice, light, slim Hammy Pratten, and the R&R-style M&E. I think the M&E will be running along soon.

If the M&E is plastic, it may be worth keeping as a travel/outdoor flute, even if you do find the Hamilton to be your main best only flute.

Lucky guy! Do you find the Hamilton takes a lot more breath than the M&E? - Tod

Schwing!! :)

That's awesome. I love the smell of blackwood in the morning!


Has anybody ever seen or heard of a boxwood Hammy? It just occurred to me that I've seen several other makers' box flutes, but no Hammies.

I got a blackwood keyless. It's very pretty, and it smells good.
