Irish Flute Player's Handbook??????? By S.C. Hamilton

I’m looking for this book, t’is hard to find! Out of print, not to be had. Just wondering if someone knows where one can be found? I know he’ll have a new one out sometime soon, but I’d like to see the old one. Thanks! John.

I’ve been looking for a copy for years, still no luck.

I received one as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. I know that, at that time, Hammy had several copies left.

It’s a cool book.

Looks like a 2nd edition might be in the works!

I have one I’d sell. It’s an excellent book, but I think I’ve managed to absorb the bulk of what it has to teach me.

I think I even have the flexi-disk which came with it, somewhere.

And no, I haven’t thought about a price. Hmm.

Second edition has been in the works for many years. I wouldn’t hold my breath. I got one from Colin; he had got a batch (15?) back from a distributor. Probably gone by now, since this was years ago, but ask him; he’s reachable by email or phone.

My copy has a cassette tape.

It’s a nice book and once it was the only one, but nowadays you’d probably be better off getting Grey Larsen’s book.

Grey’s book does not have the info about making flutes.

Heres one

Interesting: The cover photo on this ebay 1st edition is different from the one on the copy I have, so apparently different editions had different photos, cool.

The book says
“First published by The Traditional Music Shop for Breac publications 1990” and its copywritten 1990 too. Now I think of it doesn’t really mean that this book is 1st edition. I had better update the ebay sita. Thanks for the tip!

Now that the ebay auction has ended, I still have a copy for sale for anyone who missed out–$50 US including postage & the flexidisk. PM me if you’re interested.

Mine came with a cassette tape, not a flexidisk.

If you don’t have a turntable, I can easily copy the disk to a cassette before I mail it.
