Ok Kenny. Here’s another one that is a joy from start to finish:
Lá ag Ól Uisce – http://thesession.org/recordings/4444?newcomment=691416#comment691416
Music from Ring, Co. Cork, by two lovely brothers and their pal. No gimmicks, just a high quality studio recording by brothers who have been playing together. The music is seamless and effortless. Pure, beautiful music.
Not that it matters a lot but wouldn’t Ring be in Co Waterford?
There’s a few in Cork it seems. Near Arundelmills. Also a Middle Ring, North Ring, South-Ring.
Where do you come down on Ballaghaderreen? Co. Roscommon, or Co. Mayo?
I am pretty sure though Caoimhin Ó Fearghail is from An Rinn in West Waterford.
He lives in Cork city though 
Lovely stuff, to be sure.
Is that a Wilkes flute in the video?
It’s not a Wilkes. It’s a Fentum. Probably about 1840-1850.
Lovely silver work. I can see why you’d think it was a Wilkes.
Yes, very nice playing, nice tempo - thanks for the link
Thanks for that JD. I met Caoimhin in Miltown 2 years ago, and also in Cork last year. I’m a great fan of his music - that’s definitely a recording I’ll be getting.
Caoimhin’s piping in particular is spectacular
Oh my that’s some lovely playing. How it should be I think. 
. Going have to get that CD.
Fentum? Maybe. I’ll trust you’ve seen it up close and you certainly are the one to know. The few I’ve seen with that wide ring set up and rose engine turning on them and crown were Blackman of about that same era. Wonderful players they were too. Does indeed have that Wilkes look.
Looks very much like my Blackman. I have seen a few stamps recorded with this type of flute.
A few I remember: Pearson marked Wylde, Gisborne?, Summer Hayes Taunton?.
Wylde was mentioned in connection with this type of flute twice to me.
Mine is a lovely player. My favourite flute.
Oh and mine has nickel -work.
Yes it’s a Fentum, I also played some tunes on it.
Interesting!
Well there couldn’t have been all too many of those rose engines around eh?
Just a guess but perhaps they were all sourcing part or finishing work from the same machinist?
I’ve been told, and I don’t know if this at all true, but Chris Wilkes has one of the few surviving rose engine lathes?
I believe Chris Wilkes’ Rose Engine is a pedal operated machine. . .very vintage. For only a few DOLLAR$$$ you can get a new one:http://roseengine1.com/ 
The Society of Ornamental Turners can probably get you plans to build your own. . . .

Just imagine all the pretty knobs I could make for only 14 Gees! 
Indeed as the post in the session says. Wow! Wow! 
Where has board folks gotten the CD?
I tried the links to where you can order the cd. I did not find on either link. I tried their website. Cookie issues. Any suggestions would be great.

15 Euros., pay via PayPal.
You are the best. That worked. I thought that you would know. Thank you so much. I really love the way their music blends. While you can pick out each instrument, they blend into one. I am amazed. I wonder if it is because they are brothers.
