FS 2x Wooden Flutes in D, 8 key

Irish Flute
1

Hi folks.

Two great flutes that need new homes. Both available now, ready to ship.

PM for details / enquiries.

  1. Rudall Carte 1933, cocus wood and silver keys. Simple system with boehm foot keys. A very rare flute indeed. Comes with original head, and option of deal with Tobias Mancke head. Northwind case, and cork adjuster included. Free shipping in Europe, possible to post overseas. Robert Bigio, Stephane Morvan, and Peter Worrell (who ultimately used this as a base for his 2012 model), all contributed to overhauling.
    See this page for videos: http://calumheikki.com/news.html

SOLD: 2) Peter Worell, 2012, ebony and silver keys. Based strongly on above flute, with ergonomic adjustments, tuning tweaks and voicing improvements. A very solid, working, instrument.

Both instruments represent a very interesting model of flute - on a cylindercal bore. Tuning of both are as close to perfect as could hope for - throughout all key signatures. The low notes, in 1st octave are strident and powerful, the 2nd and 3rd are sweet and balanced. The low c keys work like a treat, and the keywork itself is very responsive and enables the player to play with ease in any key signature.

An ideal alternative for the player, already with a conical bored flute, or indeed a player looking for something different, or the means to easily play in “difficult” key signatures.

More information / Enquiries regarding price please PM.

Peter Worrell flute, now SOLD.

What is the black stick with the lines on it?

4

Black stick with lines is for measuring position of the cork

5

that’s what I suspected but it just looked a little over engineered for the job.

6

And suitably solid to use as a pusher without damaging the stopper face or bending itself… ? Delrin, extruded rod, so just the markings to add and the ends to true, at a guess?

7

Yes, it’s as Jem suggested. Actually it’s a piece made by Robert Bigio, that comes with his zicronium stoppers (not sure if I’ve got the spelling right there) Quite a handy piece of kit actually, and yes - perhaps a little over engineered, but precise and strong for moving the cork accurately.

Rudall Carte now SOLD

Tobias Mancke headjoint, still available.

So, if I can ask, Where are you going to breath in now?

10

Indeed…

Guys, guys, you haven’t been paying attention… :poke: More than…
Didn’t you know? Calum has, of course, inevitably, got tired of blowing at these ungrateful hollow sticks and has probably found altogether more rewarding pursuits to engage his efforts… :slight_smile: :smiley:

12

The answer is in Calum’s Youtube clips. :wink:

13

Saw you on Da Fhillte with Lauren MacColl last weekend!
You sound brilliant on the new flute. The show is great presented by two lovely musicians.

14

The flute in Calum’s Youtube link sounds great (although I am sure anything would sound good in his hands)! What is it?

15

Yes Jem, I have decided to stop playing wooden flute, thus saving up for one of these:

Highly rewarding in comparison!

:wink:

16

The flute in Calum’s Youtube link sounds great (although I am sure anything would sound good in his hands)! What is it?

Looks like a Morvan…

17

Ah, the well connected drainpipe…

@ Lorenzo - well, I did try to give a clue. :wink:

18

Tobias Mancke headjoint, now SOLD

All items on their way to new homes. Thanks everyone.

Over and out. :slight_smile:

19

Morvan?
Yes?
I won the prize?

20

Yes you won. :wink:
