  • The Copley conical-bore flute in delrin is well thought of by the flute-playing community. If cost is not a primary concern, the Copley flute would play and sound more like a traditional Irish flute. My pvc flute, at a fraction of the cost of the Copley, also performs quite well in the hands of a good player such as Jem.

  • very well played!

  • I would never have believed that this was a piece of PVC tubing !!

    That was the best rendition of this wonderful tune yet

    Thank you so much for this.

  •  nice 'stache.

  • Who would have thought PVC could sound like this? Superb!

  • I am so excited, my cuartet is playing this piece for the MSHSAA state solo and ensemble competition. three flutes and a clarinet.

  • You are incredibly talented; Tipple's flutes are superb.

  • I love playing along to your vid on the ol' guitar. Your playing is wonderful.

  • In "bang-for-bucks" terms you can't go wrong with Doug's flutes: recent embouchure hole developments should make them even better. That said, they are what they are and have limitations which will drive an improving player towards more expensive instruments in due course. If you are just trying out on flute, go with one of Doug's as an inexpensive intro/experiment - it will serve you well as a beginner but won't make a significant hole in your budget for any subsequent upgrade! Best of luck!

  • wow, I am trying to decide between a Copley delrin or this exact flute. Can you help?
