A few days ago, I recieved a new Tipple Low B-flat, with the dimpled tubing. It’s a stretch, but doable with practice. The thing I wanted to pass along is how nicely it plays. It’s one heck of a long tube, yet quite in tune accross both octaves. I’m impressed, and very pleased with the sound of simple plastic pipe. A true bargain in his growing line of good afordable stuff for the struggling flutist. R. D. Tipple thank you. You’ve done it once again. 
i am also in process to recieve tipple low b flat. did you ordered flute with inline or off set holes?i ordered flute with inline holes, so i curiose to hear your experience with hand strech.

Mr. Tipple has provided my with one of his high Bb flutes (aka fife), which I am in the process of beta-testing. I have finally figured out the best embouchure for it, and have gotten a very nice sound out of it so far.
Stay tuned for a posting regarding a sample sound file for it, which RD may be using for a sample on his website (if it sounds good enough).
Teaser: The tune is a pretty smokin’ tempo’ed “Independence Hornpipe”, which sounds real nice in high Bb.
Hi Marin,
Though the stretch on the B-flat is significant, I chose in-line holes. They are somehow more comfortable and fit my habbits better. Since the barrel is in three pieces, twisting them relative to each other is all the adjustment I really seem to need. Beyond that, for those with more flexable or larger hands, a somewhat modified (angled) piper’s grip for the right hand should work pretty well.
Good luck with your new Tipple tube.
