This is about as much as I can remember of one of the versions of Picard's Resikan Flute song from the Next Generation episode "The Inner Light." I'm playing it on one of my homemade PVC flutes. There's a bit of a flub near the end but overall it came out okay. I need to work on it some more and try and remember the rest.

  • I think it was overall a great job, maybe practice it some more and re-record, I would LOVE to hear a second try, I bet it would come out twice as beautiful! *some criticism*, you hit that one note in the middle out of no where...

  • @MrLethedethius I agree I should probably just take this one down, I don't think it really needs to be up anymore as there are so many other people doing much better versions of it. I just put it up originally to show my friends what I'd been up to lately. Definitely outlived that purpose by now!

  • how much would an Irish flute go for? You played the song beautifully...

  • Decent wood ones go for $150 US and up (most basic models I see, with keys, seem to be no lower than $300) but there are some more affordable options out there, like Doug Tipple's $50 PVC Irish flutes that go for about $50-60. I modeled mine after his. But watch out for "bargains" on eBay from Pakistan--most are good for nothing more than decorating a shelf.

  • Is it hard to learn to play the Irish Flute?

  • Playing simple melodies on an Irish flute like I do is easy. Fingering is simple (no keys usually) and they produce tone easily and with little breath. But playing the Celtic and traditional Irish tunes on it as it's intended is very hard. Most of it is still way too fast for me to play yet!

  • Nice tone, good job :)

  • You played that beautifully!

  • You bitch! YO!

  • What rather amazes me is the number of times this track is reproduced on YouTube. It was just an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.......and it aired before many of the people reproducing it were fully aware of what they were watching on television!

    I think that this episode, along with some parts of the whole series, will live forever.

  • Very very nice :-)

  • did you learn to play by yourself and if you did how?

  • It seems that Irish Flute plays like a fife! Nicely played.

  • Nice my friend... touching. Thanks :)
