She's my flute role model, and I aspire to play as well as she does someday! :3

[Herbsandspices100]

Heavenly music

[redphantom85617]

Btw whats the name of this flute shes playing?

[x0shade0x]

That is music at its best... how beautiful... <3

[wowzeem]

Hi Rhonda,

Thank you for sharing this magical piece. I was wondering if it would be possible to borrow the rights to use this piece in our student film. It would really lift our work to fascinating standards.

Thanks again :)

[maarifelippe]

[redphantom85617]

Beautiful! Makes me want to go to sleep

[Mailleutt]

[HarasNolbus]

Wonderful! Does someone know what sort of flute she's playing? Soprano?

[Ash1955]

@HarasNolbus Looks and sounds like an Irish keyless flute in "D"

[killergirls]

Well done Rhonda! You have a fan here in sunny Malaysia! :-D

[Mr101369]

Rhonda, thank you for the kind words regarding my wife, Lauresa Cooke, when she played your compositions Whispering Hope and Sweet Simplicity. You have no idea what a thrill it is to be noticed by the composer herself. You write beautiful music and we treasure every note. Sincerely, Donal and Lauresa Cooke.

[TheRevolution808]

simply..amazing....

[BioHazard2012]

This is amazing.

It makes you think at many things.

[Musical0501]

very beautiful... amazing *.*

[Mliii89]

This is wonderful! Someone who knows what kind of flute she is using? Traverso?

[WoodNymphMusic]

@Mliii89 I hope you have looked in the archives of this listing....we have let the flute be known many times over. Once again, it is a Tony Dixon plastic flute. Amore, tutti,

R

[Trulyloyale]

@Mliii89 I agree , this is wonderful to me too , flute the oldest musical instrument in mankind always attracts x some kinda inesplicable reasons. You said rite : she's playing the flauto traverso and not the flauto soprano, like someone wrongly said , which is currently played only by some Scottish & Northern Ireland bands and its been cut away from any orchestra or performing group due to its very thick use inside classic music repertory.

Also you can see it in the video

[Trulyloyale]

traverso at sight is some inches longer than soprano . Hej då ;-) !!

[Paramorefan319]

YOU ROCK!!!

[doctorsduo]

Beautiful sound!!!!

[tokiohotelfan913]

Im sure none of you will believe me but Rhonda Larson is my Aunt. I was there in Italy at her concert. Beautiful song!!!

[MagicxXxMushroom]

my aunt is a flute player and i regret not playing it so if you are young you must start!

[IntrapersonalKent]

Start now. Brain plasticity is a proven scientific principle that declares you can learn anything at any age with equal efficiency and speed. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks. In fact, adults tend to learn more rapidly than children do because of the focus and discipline we do not share with much of younger counterparts.

[Paramorefan319]

she is really her aunt i seen pictures with rhonda and tokiohotelfan319 and her togeather!!

[bRuNn3tt3]

@tokiohotelfan913 If so, she is a flute GODDESS.

[tokiohotelfan913]

@bRuNn3tt3 i know right! lol!

[CoolKidAceSpade]

Bravo cool wind instrument playing.

[mariemusic]

Beautiful!

[Pedrohflima]

Muito lindo!!! A flauta é um instrumento que transmite uma pureza transcendental!!

[Brianoneil1]

I believe she is playing a Tony Dixon Polymer Flute. I have one and she makes hers sing beautifully

[nunohamas]

[QQtwee]

[HungDTran88]

1:35 Her eyes... Perfect performance! Perfect song! Everything is so beautiful and perfect! :x

[violetparme]

I can't believe such a sound is possible! I saw on Ronda's site she would be hosting a master class in Italy in July... any chance to hear her performing in Europe... while she's in the area? Thank you so much for this video.

[Quiedy]

you did a great job! it is so amazing. nice tone and vibrato.

[shula9tsuno]

hope to play like that someday...when I have enough money to afford a flute and lessons. ^^ My fave instrument

[TheSadTroll]

das erinnert mich an LOTR es erinnert mich irgendwie ans auenland :)

[dlricky]

bellissimo...il brano e pure lei...

La musica irlandese, non c'è che dire, trasporta sempre in nuovi paesaggi fantastici. Si sente nelle melodie il fruscio del vento sulle colline estive di quei posti magici abitati da elfi e fantastiche creature!

[sarahsarahnow]

Rhonda Larson is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[michaelsproductions]

Beautiful!

[laura2439]

she's amazing. I saw her play at Florida Flute Fair a few years ago and got to speak with her. She is truly an inspiration to me!

[gameshowguy2000]

A metallic flute? I believe James Galway has one of those.

[emz33]

It's crystal. Wth

[mojoflute]

Beautiful - Rhonda - You're a star! Thank you for your soul reaching music! As ever - a faithful friend! X

[niniOleO]

Awesome

[JaiMaJames]

so so Beautiful!!!!

Thanks

[stalflute]

Hi!I have idea! I am from Latvia, maybe you would like to come in Baltic states to give some masterclass in music academy! I love you sound, your beatiful soul!Thanks!

[leejde]

Rhonda will be hosting a master class in Roccantica, Italy the first week of August. Go to her website for more information.

[CoWdUdE132]

what is that flute called it's amazing!!!

[bodzavirag]

I totally agree ... It is my favorite sound...Soft, sad and not so "metallic" and sharp as the one of the classical flute.

On my flute I will never achieve this special quality of sound. : - (

How and where could I get hold of one one?

[esoterium]

I've bought one at argayl(dot)mipw(dot)com(dot)ar .They promote the bag pipes, but they sell flutes as well.

[xamethystxmoonx]

I love the sound of this flute - absolutely beautiful. I would love to get my hands on something similar, considering I only play the classical flute and it doesn't have that same mystical quality...where on earth can I get hold of one?

[lowellirish]

See my post above - Jamie lol....

[journey336]

Rhonda is by far the best of the best. Taking what is magical about past classical flute and putting a new energy into it. One that comes directly from her soul. Love you bunches Rhonda. Jodie Fisher

[fearthainn587]

She's definitely one of the best if not the best i hope she does a masterclass in ireland soon

[leejde]

We would love to return to Ireland. We have use of a house in Kinvara. Are there any universities or flute orgainzations in your area that would be interested in a master class?

[fearthainn587]

This comment is replying to leejde. I don't live near Kinvarra i think it's in county Rosscommon but i would love to have a masterclass with rhonda I'm not sure about organisations or universities but there is Trinity college in Dublin and Queen's university in Belfast both are good universities

[minusirony]

I'm Irish, because I have red hair.

[Woodnymphmus]

Part 3

Sheet music available from my website, listed at end of this video (YouTube won't let this comment post with a website address, apparently...)

Rhonda

[SeleneMoon]

Thanks.

[Woodnymphmus]

Part 2:

Flute is a Tony Dixon, made of plastic! Bought in Galway, Ireland...

Rhonda

[Woodnymphmus]

Thanks, all! Something is preventing my responses from posting, so it may take more than one...

Rhonda Larson

[SeleneMoon]

Anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this song?

[ButeaoDam]

I think she is playing her crystal flute.

[sarosb]

Beautiful. Looks like one of my flutes - which is a Breton open hole wooden flute handmade by Gilles Lehart. The one she is playing looks very similar... so that's my nearest guess. I would also like to know what it is...

[stygian78]

can anyone tell me precisely what kind of flute this is shes playing??

[emz33]

It sounds a lot like the flute that I have. I have a pearl brand flute. It's a French open hole. She also has a lot of experience so that's how she can get that really gorgeous warm tone.

[emz33]

I just looked at my CD of hers that I bought and for this specific song she's playing the crystal flute. Never heard of it before actually haha ^.^' But it's defidently a gorgeous instrument and she plays this song beautifully

[ninaflute]

very theatrical, lots of flair and sentiment.

[kelandjen]

Thanks so much for posting. This is beautiful.

[lietzen]

Wow, cool video, cool flute!

Thanks for posting!!!

5/5 even if ratings disabled ...

[JSBHK]

So Beautiful and sweet and mellow, baroque flute? Irish flute?
