Comparing 2 flutes

10/17/2010

I have just recently acquired a wooden flute made by Chris Ti Cooms in the key of D that is more like a penny whistle. On the bottome two notes I can play 3 octaves. This is really interesting. The flute has a sound more similar to the rim blown flutes and is quite mysterious and mystical. It is probably more like an Irish penny whistle but the wood makes it soudn wonderful


I also have a Stephen De Ruby shakusazi low C flute that has amazing sound, very similar to the Chris Ti Cooms flute however it does not play the otaher octaves. It was really fun to spend time playing both of these flutes back to back and trying the same song to see how the nuances could work from these two great makers. The added octave features of the Cooms flute are still a bit of a challenge and will require some ( lots and lots of practice) . It is really fun to have a bit more of a range to noodle around with.

I am currently loving both of these flutes.

Feel free to share some thoughts about flutes that you are experimenting with. I would love to learn more about what other flute players are doing.

Hi I'm trying to buy a flute in Vancouver. So do you know where I could get a wooden rim blown flute?

HI Paul

The only place I know of in Vancouver that sometimes carries Native American Flutes is Banyan Books. I am not familiar with Vancouver at all. I can show you some of the flutes I do have for sale through Skype video. You can reach me through my email: [email protected] or phone 250-740-0473.
