Commercial Post: New Cochran Eb flute

Irish Flute
1

Here is a new model! :party:
Based on my Boosey Eb flute. The Boosey was made in the 1920’s, so the tuning is spot on for 440 htz. This flute is made of Delrin and silver.

I haven’t figured out how to have it interchange with a D body yet, as the whole flute is scaled down, not just one section. (After all I am not very good in the math department, went surfing instead.) :smiley:

Very cool Jon. But what I would really like to know is how your work with keys is coming along?

EXCELLENT JON!! :party:

I wondered when you would make an Eb flute.

Now, when’s the Rudall model due? :stuck_out_tongue:

Way to go Jon, nice flute!

People always seem to enjoy a good Eb flute and say they are so responsive and fun to play. Now you did it, you’ll have those Eb fluters tracking you down too! :wink:

By the way, that’s the one he made for me. And … I can barely wait.

Edit I should also add this: dang good job Jon. That’s downright sexy.

Nice work! Interesting that B3 seems small; how does the E note play?

7

The intonation is good and the bottom end it strong. on the B3, R3 (little hole at the bottom…) The interesting thing about the tuning, the R2 note (F# in D flutes) and the bell note is not flat.

the R2 note (F# in D flutes)

is it just me or is it too early in the morning still? I have always thought the F# is the R1 note on a D flute… :slight_smile:

i thought this too when i first read it… i think he means R2 is the highest open hole (rather than covered hole, which would be R1) – that’s what sounds the F#, like E is sounded when only the R3 hole is open and D is sounded when no holes are open (or all holes are covered).

at least, that’s how i made sense of it…

10

We are all right! :smiley:

i’ll just pretend that it says “tuning is spot on for 440 htz if you lip it and dont use a tuner”, otherwise i might think that you have gone soft :stuck_out_tongue:.

Hrm. Seeing a picture before you get it, that’s not like seeing the bride before the wedding, is it? :laughing: :laughing:

Nice flute!

Couldn’t wait to show off the bride… :blush:

Wull, got it in the post today. I’d proceed to gush about it, but darnit, the thing won’t let me put it down long enough to type that much. Excuse me…
