Anybody know of some good G flutes?
I’ve seen some Sweet flutes in G,
but I’m wondering about others.
It seems to me these would be
pretty useful, for they would
enable one to play in C, which
is tough on a D flute. I play a lot
with musicians in C.
I do mean a G flute, like a low G
whistle, which is higher than
a low D whistle.
Also I wonder, are there polymer
G flutes? I did check the Dixon
website (thanks for providing it)
and it isn’t clear that his
G flutes are ever polymer.
Any experience with polymer
G flutes? Best
Check out Gilles Lehart, I recall seeing a G flute on his website. I’m not sure but I think I remember it there. I’ll bet its a fair price and the wait proboably isn’t over a year. I agree it would be nice to play in C in the G position (on a D flute) especially for songs. Now if I could only afford that Low G chanter from Davy Stephenson . Hope this helps

I have an Olwell g bamboo flute. Got rid of the g whistle because the flute is sooo much more interesting and variable in sound. They are simply outstanding and at around $70, half of what they are worth.

Ive tried a Sweetheart G flute but wasn’t pleased with it, I don’t know if it was the Flute or the Pitch. I do have two sweetheart Flutes in F and they sound GREAT and are very easy to play. I’d consider an F Flute

I think the Sweet flutes are
uneven–as Jessie K has observed
elsewhere. I need the G to play
with my collegues in the Bates
Street Folk and Blues Band,
(which I’ve rejoined now that
I’ve returned from far off
sunny California)
and it had better survive in
the cold; also be tunable.
Polymer… Thanks to all
