    I must say as a guy who's 6 years into flutemaking (irish flutes) I have yet to see a bigger name to rise among the creators, I sense a great future for your studio and workshop! I follow most best known flutemakers and both your videos and your website are most impressive. Fantastic quality flutes, I'd love to know even more about the processess you had to go through to aqcuire such great quality of the instruments you create. Cheers

    I know this isn’t relevant to the video. But you have played my fathers song the earl of marches daughter. I only just discovered your version. Very colourful and different. I miss him so much. He would be very impressed by your cover. Thank you so much. X

    I just started making native american flutes. Its definitely a challenge and very much a trial and error. This video was very motivating for me to keep going. Thanks!

    Great video, really good playing and beautiful flutes, well done. I can completely hear my own story, it is very difficult to start making flute, you're pretty much on your own browsing forums and trying to find whatever knowledge and techniques you can grab on the internet. Clarinet making was a great source of inspiration for me, there are a lot of things that can be used. Please post more videos ! really cool.

    Thanks for sharing this! Both your playing and craftsmanship are impressive and inspiring!
    I've been playing amateur Irish music for the past five years or so and recently started working on fifes and whistles of my own. I'm just getting started with a very small assortment of tools in a tiny shop and I'm having a similar initial experience: there isn't a definitive guide on how to build wooden flutes and whistles. So far it's been nothing but experimentation with huge failures and some modest successes. If you're willing to share some resources or even chat directly about details, I have a ton of questions and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions for places to discuss the craft.
    Glad to have folks like you doing this kind of work! Thanks so much and please keep it up! Cheers!

      Hi Sean, great to hear you are starting out! I'd love to share some insights, however we are currently in the process of renovating a larger space that will be the new workshop and I am working at the building site more or less 24 / 7. But please feel free to write me an email at workshop@irishflute.de and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

    Hi Steffen, nice documentary, but one question was not asked. Why is a man from Germany making Irish flutes and no any other type of flute? What is it about the Irish flute that has left an impression on you? God bless you.

  • @BertholdHinrichs
    @BertholdHinrichs 3 года назад
