My Sam Murray flute

This is a keyless flute in blackwood made by Sam Murray, Belfast flutemaker now based in Galway's Salthill.
This is a single reel (The Crock of Gold or also known as John Joe McGuires reel) composed by Vincent Broderick. I dunno why, but I like playing it. :-)
VINCENT BRODERICK was born in Carramore, Bullaun, Loughrea, Co. Galway in 1920. One of seven children, both himself and his brother Peter were to become interested in traditional Irish music at an early age, mainly under the influence of their mother Ann. By their early twenties Vincent and Peter were to become accomplished traditional musicians (the flute, mainly, and the pipes) and were to follow the example set for them by the musicians of 'The Ballinakill and Aughrim Slopes Ceili Band.'" ~ they also played regularly together for events and dances in their community...

Really like your style. To me its very reminiscent of Kevin Henry, one of my favorite players. Nice clip!

It's a rudall... what an incredible sound plenty of harmonics.

Mighty sound on that Murray, Boyd! Thanks for sharing. Lovely set of pans, too. Are they more rudallish or more of the Pratten kind?
