Terry McGee 4-key Blackwood Rudall-Carte style for Sale

Irish Flute
1

I have a Terry McGee 4-key blackwood flute for sale. Rudall-Carte style with short foot. Medium sized holes. Corked tenons. Really a fantastic instrument. Keys are D#, F, G#, and B-flat.

Head joint has repaired crack, which is not invisible, but has not been any issue at all in the 2 years I’ve owned the instrument. The instrument is otherwise perfect.

Comes with original hardwood case. $1,600.00 plus postage.

I originally purchased this flute from Heather Martley back in 2002. The crack repair was done I believe by the person Heather originally purchased the instrument from. Oiled regularly.

Since I had Hammy Hamilton build a new headjoint for my antique Metzler flute, I haven’t been playing this one very much, need the funds for another instrument (non-flute).

Here’s a recording I made a while back on this instrument:

Cheers and thanks,

Wow! Eskin, I second with Azalin, you play very very well, and your recording is very clean.
Can you tell how you proceed and what mic you used for such a good sound?


Hope I helps you sell the flute faster! :smiley:

Fluid, powerful playing. Thanks for posting this. Jim

I use a Audio Technica AT3035 condensor microphone running through a Mackie mixer, Alesis quad effects unit for compression, EQ, and reverb. Recorded and tweaked on a PC equipped with an M/Audio Audiophile 2496 board using SoundForge.

So, enough about me and my gear, who’s going to buy the flute? :slight_smile:

Well, best of luck selling the flute, but by posting the MP3 I wouldn’t be surprised if this thread turned into a a discussion about:

– your ushering in a new era of crystal-clear MP3 postings on Chiff ‘n’ Fipple
– .. and setting a standard which hopefully will not dissuade others from posting, although with playing of that quality it may unfortunately be the case.

And now I’m off to slow down the reel :wink:

Unless people don’t like the reverb. :wink:

I don’t think Michael’s playing needs the reverb.

But I digress. Who’s buying the flute?

That’s your job, isn’t it Stu? :smiley:

Just thought I’d bump this for a day before I decide whether or not to list it on eBay…
