Jessie's Hamilton flute...

Irish Flute
1

I bought Jessie’s Hamilton keyless flute that she had up for sale. What a great instrument, big sound, big holes, comfortable in the hands, great workmanship, very responsive. Takes everything I can throw at it and doesn’t complain or hesitate.

One question, the upper body joint cork is a tiny bit tight for my tastes, I’ve heard of lightly sanding cork, but was curious what the rest of you would do. When I received the instrument, I gave it a good oiling, including greasing the corks with cork grease, perhaps it swelled a bit much…

Cheers,

Michael

Michael,

You’re lucky I didn’t have the money, I wanted that flute and would have beaten you to it :slight_smile:

Hammy’s flutes sure have personality, don’t they? Very masculine flutes, if you know what I mean.

Well, enjoy it you Lucky dog, and let me know if you ever decide to part with that flute.
