Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I am looking for advice to buy a new flute to start learning.
I love flute voices specially http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/72819/narnia/The%20Chronicles%20of%20Narnia%20-%205%20-%20Narnia%20Lullaby.mp3
and other similar tones.
Can you please help me to choose one?
i think i should buy a wooden flute but there are tons of flute in Ebay and i am confused.
I can spend -200 USD for a flute.
it can be from other materials but i want a soft voice and smaller flute in size.
Welcome. Please do a search on Tipple flutes, on Casey Burns
Folk flutes, on Sweetheart flutes, Dixon Three-piece flutes. You will need something
in the key of D. The search engine is top right on the board.
Note there is a thread on the Casey Burns Folk flute on
this page. If you scroll down a page or two you will find
some recent discussions. If you have more questions afterwards,
don’t hesitate.
Thank you very much.
I looked for names you told me and i find some intresting ones.
I will investigate more and ask here if i hade questions.
also i find something very ODD, take a look at it here http://www.ringflute.com/hearit.html
It is a flute which is rounded
but the tone looks very good.
thanks
The clip you posted sounds like a reed instrument , almost like a duduk.
If you want a 6-hole flute such is the major topic on this board, your budget can get you a Tipple or a bamboo flute. Both come in a variety of pitches and sizes.
The best (bamboo) flutemaker out there, Pat Olwell, has stopped taking orders for bamboo flutes to work on his wooden flute orders. They are so good that they have come up on eBay for twice the original cost (still in your budget range). He has two lines of bamboo flutes. His ‘professional’ line has a very smooth, amber-like finish and the embouchure and tone holes are smoothly finished too. He has a line that he sells at Ren Faires that don’t have the smooth finish but are tuned to the same standard
In lieu of that you could probably get a Rhiannon flute for under $200. They are comparable in quality to the ‘professional’ Olwell bamboo flutes and are played by highly regarded flute-players like Brian Finnegan and Jean-Michel Veillon.
For less money there are te flutes made by William Miller. His flutes are along the lines of Pat Olwell’s Ren-Faire flutes. The difference is mainly in the finishing details but they are well-made and tuned.
