This is a copy of Boosey & Co Prattens Perfected with an extra headjoint for more easy playing. Demanding but rewarding.
Cooktown Ironwood
Beautiful, Par! Who made it? And, how does it compare to your Murray?
Good idea, a second headjoint, for when you get tired, or when you don’t feel like pushing it.
Good luck, and enjoy your new flute!
And the maker is…?
Good question. I will be getting a Bleazey Ironwood soon, well as soon as Phil gets the Whistle I am using as partial ttrade and payment and it shipping here for the Whistle it took two weeks to get here.
The profile, rings, and wood lead me to guess McGee.
Accualy its me. I just made it for to understand the process of making a flute. This is the only one. I´m not going into flutemaking. lots of work and lots of fun.
I don´t like work, I get so tired. I had the opportunity to work in a workshop with propper tools for a week. This is a powerful flute compare to my Murray. It have a hard and stong D.
Congrats, Par. With such lovely photos and the promise that it’s the only one you’ll ever make, you’re sure to get plenty of people begging you to make more.
Cheers,
Aaron
Remarkable. If you had said it was any of the big name makers I would have believed you. Do you have a woodworking background?
Good job, that looks fantastic. What was the most demanding part? I heard an interview with Sam Murray where he said that the basic craftwork involved in making a flute, turning & silverwork etc, was reasonably demanding. He reckoned that the most difficult part of the job was to persuade the thing that it was no longer a tree!
I would love to hear all the processes you went through and what the specific challenges were.
That’s remarkable!
Lovely looking flute.
How long did it take you to make, and how many failed attempts did you go through before you got everything right?

Well done, definitely.
It looks amazing Pär!
Does this mean I can have your Blackwood Hernon now?
