hi guys, i've been lurking for a while but this is my first post.
after much consideration and after what youse all have been saying about different flutes/flute makers i got in touch with michael cronnolley (m & e flutes) and drove out to meet him in mayo last weekend.
i came away with a fantastic blackwood flute at a VERY reasonable price! i've been tooting away all week and had it out at the session in the pub last night and i'm soo happy with it.
i know he's got a few other finished flutes sitting in his workshop - anyone thinking of getting one i would say go for it and get in there quick! he's a real gentleman and i had a lovely chat with him and evelyn.
i'll post a picture if i can get my digital camera to work...

Well done mate!
You can't go wrong with M&E for some rugged and ready traditional stuff with lots of spirit (and yes, that's the best way I can put it right now). I agree Micheal is a great guy, and he makes some lovely flutes. It's nice to get away from all that science and just let 'er rip as twas supposed to be!
All the best to you, and that includes lots of
