Recording of Rudall M&E posted

Irish Flute

Hi y’all,

Several people have emailed me about the new Rudall style M&E, I thought it would be helpful to post a little recording of the instrument. Its just a clean recording, no EQ, no effects.

Hope its useful!

Cheers,

Michael

Best $325 I’ve spent in a long time!

I like it so much I opted to protect it with one of David Migoya’s fine leather flute cases.

By the way, I haven’t seen many posting about the flute cases David sells on his website, but they are really something to behold, a true object of beauty. Mine has the black leather.

Cheers,

Michael

Funny, mine doesn’t sound anything like that.
Wonder why that is. :wink:

Xavier,
After listening to that clip, it should be perfectly clear why I didn’t post a clip of my M&E.
Michael gets beautiful tone out of his.
If you heard me playing something, you would have gotten a completely different impression of the flute, and probably canceled your order post haste.
Hope you get yours soon, And I realy hope you can make it sound as good as Michael does.
Cheers,
jb

Thats really nice Michael! Great sound! Now I have to go back to twiddling my thumbs..

John, Mr Cronnolly sent mine this Monday so I probably won’t have to wait too much now. I’m sure I have to work much more on my overall technique to sound half-good though :slight_smile: Anyway, have fun playing with your M&E R&R!

Lovely!

Michael,

Great sound sample of the M&E Rudall flute! Say, I went looking for this new flute at the M&E website but did not see it listed there. Do you know where can I get information about it?

Thanks much–

Kieran

Michael Cronnolly told me that anyone wanting the Rudall model just has to request it when they order a flute. I believe that it has the same price as his standard model, but best to check with him first.

Cheers,

Michael

Wow! Big big difference from the old model. And thats real good playing too, Michael. Thanks for posting!

Great playing, Michael. Like you’re rendition of “Christmas Eve”…

I’d love to hear a side by side clip of the same person playing both Michael’s old flute, then one with the split front embouchure, and then the R&R copy.

I have a keyless split-front, and a six key with split-front, and don’t really think I can justify the R&R copy in addition. :slight_smile:

I also have a Seery, which, quite honestly, doesn’t get the play it deserves.
