Thanks for your comment. I too prefer a stronger tone - getting it consistently is another matter! I'm not one of those who is naturally gifted with a superb strong, resonant ITM/C19th British School tone/embouchure and have to work at it - which I certainly don't do hard or often enough. I have my good moments! That said & FWIW, the video was done on my camera phone, so recorded sound quality is limited!
I've been very impressed with the 2 or 3 Murray flutes I've had a chance to try - quite up to his reputation - lucky you! However, there is no issue with the tone potential of my original R&R - any deficiencies are mine! Remember good tone is more the player than the flute, assuming a reasonably decent instrument in good fettle.... Other, better players can make a bigger, fuller, richer sound on my R&R - and I do have my really good days too, now and then ;-) (not often enough :-()!
Nice tune there at 1 min 38 secs, first time I've ever come across it. Played it very well. Thats a fine looking flute your playing, excellent raspy tone of it. Don't mind telling me who made it.
Jemtheflute: thanks to you I finally mastered The Mooncoin, a tune that managed to escape me for a long time. But playing along with your vid for about a 100 times finally did it. Thanks, Ger
Thanks for the feedback. I'm very glad you found it helpful and enjoyed it. It's a grand tune. I'm always happy to put up more demo vids like this if there's anything I can help with. Happy tootling!
Nicely played but I prefer a stronger tone.
