You might consider switching keys for your solo playing as this can work more fluently with the instrument's mechanism. Also , in tunes which exend below middle C this will preserve the melodic architecture of the piece together with the tone contrasts of the piece. Keep up the good work!! ..Tom
a boehm flute is not an irish flute but you could try a wooden headjoint by mark obren from leithold instruments, its design is cilindrical as irish and barroque flutes
I've been playing for 10 months, and I'll be auditioning for our City Orchaestra next Spring, and I'm allready in Wind Ensemble, and instructing a Flute Choir.

I LOVE the Flute.
I have any helpful tips for learners such as yourself.
The tone isn't the same as a wooden flute, unless you get a wooden headjoint. But you can come very close! Listen to the playing of Joanie Madden, Noel Rice, or Sean Moloney. They are brilliant players who all use silver flutes. I think Sean Moloney uses both types of flutes.
that key noise is like a bodhran haha

It's not as natural as on an irish flute, but it can be done. When it comes to a folk instrument, less is usually more.
Thanks

Great tune. Nicely played! There's a version of this tune on the Wooden Flute Obsession volume 1 by Garry Shannon, which is absolutely awesome.

Thank you! I do also enjoy playing the six hole irish flute and often go through phases of playing the silver flute and then the six-hole.
