  • lovely playing there Clare. Good pace and rhythmn, and one of my favourite tunes, to boot

  • I like the timbre of this polymer flute. It wouldn't suffer from changes in humidity like a wooden flute, either.

  • @AchingOvaries i'll send you messages later, alright? and really thanks so much for your performance and introducing the IrishFlutes, Mandeflutes!!

  • @ayanuhito With apologies for hijacking madeflutes video for a conversation... I have three Irish flutes. A polymer keyless Seery, a mopane keyless Casey Burns, and a 6-key African Blackwood McGee Grey Larsen preferred model. Send me a message and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

  • @AchingOvaries p/s have you got any other Irish flute other than TonyDixon? i only know Dixon so far, but i like to know much much more about the Irish flutes and their craftmanships.

  • @AchingOvaries long time no hearings from you! i've seen some your performance videos at the wedding parties, and i thought of having one myself, too. there're only 3 types of woodens over the world as long as i know.. Irish, Orchestral and NorthKorean. i play NKorean ones, but they're not really well-manufactured. maybe something wrong with myself, or thanks for the story of the bore and craftsmanship! i've seen many Irish vids, and they really encourage me to go on with the woodens.

  • @ayanuhito According to Terry McGee, a well respected top end Irish flute maker, there have been studies showing that the material of the instrument doesn't affect the sound at all but rather the bore and craftsmanship. I won't make a judgment there, but I will say that I've played over a dozen Irish flutes and the biggest factor seems to be how well the embouchure hole is made and minute differences in the bore and holes. I suggest not deciding based on material, but by playing and testing.

  • polymer? almost like the wooden ones, isn't it! is there any difference with the wooden ones?? i can't see it so far.. thanks for the lovely performance. and it's useful for me since i'm just thinking of buying a polymer irish flute of dixon.

  • great tone. well executed.

    It's an M&E. That was M himself that introduced it. I've got the Dixon 3-piece polymer, and I think it's the best in its price range. Sometimes wish I'd saved a bit more and got a nicer one, but it was a great start. For my next flute I'm considering four brands in the next price range and M&E is definitely one of them. That's why I'm haunting You Tube lately - listening to them.
