- A visit to the Cork Gaeltacht to see how a flute is made.
Hammy Hamilton is from Belfast. He recently moved to Cúil Aodha in the Gaeltacht region in County Cork, and set up a flute making workshop.
He demonstrates the process of making a flute from the raw piece of bubinga, a wood from South America, to the final product.
Hammy Hamilton plays a tune on the flute accompanied by two young musicians, one on tin whistle and the other on bodhrán.
This episode of ‘Youngline’ was broadcast on 31 January 1980. The presenter is Pat Butler.
Lovely spanner accompaniment! Fairplay to Hammy for being able to play through it!!
I can testify to how great Hammy's flutes are :)
Somebody give that flute maker a craft beer...
After watching this I am going to ask that fine craftsman, Mr Hammy Hamilton, a flute, I can not play but I learn using this special musical instrument
Nothing sounds better than the breathy tone over the round notes of a wooden simple system flute. Nice video demonstrating the process of making a flute, and nice playing, too!
I hope CR posts some footage of uilleann pipemaking as well. Surely there must be clips of Willie Clancy, Leo Rowsome or Eugene Lambe at work.
One of eugene was already posted 😊👍
@@joebyrne5277 thanks! I had a chance to watch it and it was great. My son has a Lambe D chanter that with our wonky Colorado weather’s effect on the reed is currently closer to Eb. Just be patient, don’t mess too much with the reed and it will be back to D in a few days hopefully
@@johnnielson7676 that's it! The less you temper with reeds the better 👍😁b greetings from Ireland!
There's also clips / pieces of a documentary on leo making pipes which is extremely rare but thr quality is quite poor
I'm from Belfast originally.."I see"
His next question should have been, are you a Tim or a Billy boy 😅
Take that bodhran off that young fella.
Wonderful video. 👍
the presenter puts a literal spanner in the works at the end poor lad.....
Amazing to see such a young Hammy. I used to play a Hammy flute. Absolute beasts.
Great video
Reminds me of Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws :)
5:38 115 Irish pounds? That's about US$250.00 in 1980!
No doubt the ivory is now unobtainium
As it should be
That was crazy seeing tusks laying out on the table. These days, it seems like a flute with any ivory on it would be a headache to travel with. I would have loved to have had them talk a bit more about his reasoning behind using the ivory instead of an alternate material. I guess it was just a desirable look?
Pre ban ivory is still available, but for a price.
Lol guy felt left out started clanking some screw drivers
What an odd, awkward presenter.
Off the subject but people should tune in to channel 4 at 10 tonight, it's happening here too
What exactly?
@@koilzimbabwe just tune in, it's going to be exposed here too, judges, cops and social workers working together to make up lies all to illegally take kids into care under government instructions protected by the in camera law, a law made to silence parents about the wrong doings that happen in these secret courts

@@johnbalance3989 and your pea size genitals don't allow you to be brave enough to vote for change, keep voting for the same crowd who commit scandal after scandal
@@johnbalance3989 ya crazy gemma that said last year people will need covid passports, everything is a conspiracy until it happens, I'm sure if I told you in 2019 you'd be wearing a mask and banned from seeing friends and family you'd be calling conspiracy... But hey little bo peep will eventually come rescue you 🐑
