My pleasure, and I have to confess that I love it so much that I use it more than playing my flute in the standard transverse way. This is pretty much revolutionary to me personally...now I don't have to get a complete set of tin whistles and low whistles in every single key haha. 😄
Imagine being in a musical group in which one is playing a concert flute the traditional way, but sitting with a helicon player to the immediate right. The latter would say "I'll blast you if you poke me!" (Then perhaps trombonists behind them would attack them both!)
For me it is perfect since I played Irish tin whistles and low whistles for years, and now I can play the same "style" and still be fully chromatic with ease. =)
I have a fliphead but would rather use a regular head joint because theirs more feeling behind it but if you want your flute to sound like a tin whistle then the fliphead is for you.
I agree, I mostly use a normal head joint too, but having a fully chromatic low whistle is very nice when you want that sound. Almost like having 2 instruments in one. =)
@@learningmusic As a recorder/flute player myself I think it is high time that the recorder got a serious make over after all it is a wonderful instrument but too many constraints.

Wow Mikael! Thx for this in depth comparison. This is very helpful and a great help for our customers!!

@@learningmusic That is great to hear!!!

And it turned into a ballroom blitz!!!
It looks like be easier to play as the traditional transversal flute. Great Idea!!!👍👏👏👏
Yes it is both easier and more ergonomic. =)
Thank you I was thinking of trying one, but it's really nice to see a video that's not sponsored by the company.😊
Glad it was helpful! =)
Wow! That's amazing!
Yes it really is...I now have 2 instruments in one. A standard flute, and this hybrid low whistle flute that's fully chromatic. =)
I’m surprised this wasn’t invented already! Genius idea.

Can you achieve an ‘overblown’ effect? Flutter-tongue also? 🤔
As a recorder and flute player I confirm you can do that
Demonstration is at 2:40
Woould love this but more expensive than a basic flute😢
Perhaps start on a recorder, I have 3 of them too =)
Brilliant idea sir , please provide the link to buy
I bought mine from Thomann music store in Germany. =)
Link?

Can you play it an octave higher?
First and 2nd octave works great, going into 3rd is doable but very piercing sound. =)
What about the intonation
Intonation is good when I tried my tuner app.
Where's the flipper link please?
I got it from Thomann music store. =)
Me interesa una boquilla
I bought mine from Thomann music store. =)
Hybrid Flute???? or Recorder! better yet , a Boehm System Recorder.
Well the sound is more leaning towards a low whistle (low key Irish tin whistle) than a recorder, but yes other than that I agree with you. =)

Wonder what Boehm would think about all this?
