Anyone ever tried a Siccama flute for Irish trad music?

Ah, don’t go all mushy on us!

no more, please.

Ah, well, Jim, you know how it is with mushrooms - none tonight and a field full sprung up in the morning. That’s what starlight can do for you!

Twinkle, twinkle!

none for Jimmy, he’s off in the desert

lizard on a stick, eh

True, enough of these veggie jokes. It’s getting corny. And I’m beet, after a good game of - wait for it - squash! Hehe. Ok, back to flutes: I think I’ve had my Siccama questions answered. See you all on another question. Shane

DM, at this point you are flogging a dead horse. Move on. It’s getting embarrassing.

says you, Julia, says you. Are you THE expert? :tomato:

Or is that simply a carrot in your pocket and you’re not all that happy to see me? :open_mouth:

I know a feller who went to college in Olympia. He was out one night in a cow pasture looking for (ahem) Chantrelles, yeah that’s it. He ended up having a nice discussion with the Thurston County Sheriff. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Kirk

not a good cover story…

Did he have any in the bag? I expect he droned on about it for years to bellows of laughter - his stock story? Did the sheriff get nick-named ‘The Regulator’?
But I may have gone off at a tangent there - I realise chanterelles are more hurdy-gurdy than pipes, but I was all pumped up - thought I couldn’t crank out as many puns. What a burden, to wind on doggedly but without really getting a handle on the topic. Buzzing off now! (Piping down!?)

Enough puns, ama sick of 'em, ama sick ama sick of 'em…

BTW, here’s one on eBay:

Siccama flute on eBay

Yup, it’s back - that’s the same one we discussed before - didn’t sell first time (I think someone here suggested it had been sold off eBay/ended prematurely, but seemingly not - I thought it had just timed out without any bids) - and I think maybe its original listing was what stimulated Thalatta to start this thread? Looks fantastic, should play at 440 - ideal for anyone with span issues (though maybe not if they also have very narrow finger-tips).
