Description
Up for sale is my low B Irish open holed flute made by world famous German uillean pipe maker Andreas Rogge. It has had very little use. I ordered it when my wife ordered a B set of pipes from Andreas. It has a tuning slide.It is made from Delrin. It has a deep mellow tone. My my 69 year old hands can no longer make the reach to cover the holes. If you are an Irish flute player there are some differences between this and a concert pitch Irish flute.
The hole spacing is much longer.
The 3 holes for the left hand are 3 1/4" apart. Right hand 3 1/2". 11" from the first hole to the last. (8" on a concert flute). The length of the flute is 30 1/2" (concert is 25")
Your arms will be further from your body and mouth.
If you're used to playing quick reels and jigs on a concert flute, forget it on this one. This flute is much slower due to hole spacing and a different, slower breath technique. This is more of a slow air flute.
It will take some getting used to.
