irish flute slow air

this traditional air is called "se fath mo buartha" which translates to "the cause of all my sorrow" is played here by Tasmanian based flute player Brian Owens. Brian tells me he got this tune in Glascow in 1984 from Jimmy McHugh.

very well played, nice indeed. may i ask what make of flute u are playing? and how did u add the reverb to the audio

[tastommy]

brian tells me the flute is a "Wallis" made in Euston Road London in 1837 , its Indian Rosewood. The mic i used was run through a software reverb in cubase as brian played the tune,rather than added later.

The state should give every citizen a hobbit house and a flute when they retire.

Hi I was wondering if u could tell me what type of Irish wooden flute u have. I very much like yours and am looking for one that is similar to it to purchase. I have very little knowledge about this type of flute so if u can reply that would be great.

@Arlecchino123 It's a flattened 7th slurred upwards through the leading note to the tonic ...a frequent ornamental device . can be used in ant part of scale if melodic onsiderations allow..my own taste would be ..never slur downwards, and don't carry a slur beyond a tone in the upward direction. Avoid too many slurs as this leads to a sort of syrup! Finally: a slur should not wail!!!

Can Someone Listen To My EVP Video Theres Some Kind Of Flute Being Played Near The End Of It For About A Minute And I Need To Know What Song It Is. Keep In Mind Its A Ghost Playing It! It Sounds Like Either A Flute Or A Harmonica!

Anyone know if there's a name for what happens in the music between 0:56 and 0:58? I hear it in a lot of Irish pieces. Surely there's a name for it if any trad musicians know it.
