Finding a good and inexpensive irish flute!!! help pls!!! :)

[AlonE]

I am searching a good irish flute quality, but inexpensive (US$ 120).
Recommend any brand? or could be someone who is interested in selling some irish flute?



Thanks all !!!!!!!

Dear AlonE,

I believe Hammy Hamilton's Practice Flute might best serve you and your budget.



Plus Doc (Patrick Jones) currently has some at the Irish Flute Store for $115 here:

Or one of Doug Tipples PVC flutes with the lip-plate and wedge ($85 I believe) here: http://dougsflutes.googlepages.com/

You will find both of these Gentlemen kind and accomodating!

All the Best!

I'd say the most common recommendation for that price is a Tipple. Doug Tipple is always great to work with too, and his flutes are quality.

A cylindrical practice flute of some non-wooden material is the only thing remotely playable in that price range. Tipple seem to get the best reviews.

For a conical concert flute, you'll have to spend at least $400

Tiene razón. Yo tambien he empezado a tocar fluta con una de Doug Tipple. Y por el precio no obtendras nada a penas similar. Ademas es un típo múy símpatico.

Ojala te sean útiles, nuestros comentarios.

Doug Tipple's flutes are great, and in your price range. Doug's flute was the first flute I bought to learn on after moving from the whistle and suited me just fine.

The embouvhure is circular, but I know he used to cut an ellipticle one if you wanted it for $10 extra. If I was to do it again I would go for that option.

Doug is also excellent to deal with.
