Thanks for the plug Jordan. I met Glenn when living in Ireland this past year. Lovely guy - used to do grunt work (keymaking and such) for Dave Williams. He went to some well respected instrument making school in England... can't remember the name. Anyhoo, I had a chance to play some of his flutes (and later waste a few afternoons drinking guinness & playing in some fun afternoon sessions there in Galway) and was just amazed and ordered 4 on the spot. This is the last one of that batch and it's a player. Every time I pick it up time seems to fly by as it's just so fun to play. It's really light, perfectly in tune (and I'm a stickler for that) and I can play it clear up to g'' and even a'' with not too much trouble... Not that I use those notes so much for trad but it's fun to play up there sometimes - a good warmup for lazy lips!
Oh... and it's an easy flute to play - on top of it being fairly light, the holes aren't too big and Glenn's got the embouchure figured out... Reminds me at times of my Olwell's embouchure... Actually my Olwell headjoint fits on it but it sounds better with its own...
His workmanship is top notch as well. Anyhoo... I thought I'd give you all a direct link to it:
