@@bonenfant96 In this case I refaced all the treble pallets and limited the button travel to make the treble mechanism quiet and smooth. I replaced the original reeds with Czech Harmonikas C#/D reeds and revalved and rewaxed. But, the consistent tuning of the reeds probably makes the largest difference to the listener.

@@TJEZOLD Yes the tuning. It doesn't sound 'Corso' at all. The sound is so great. Thanks for answering.

Thanks! Yes, this is a Rik. The extra basses are F#/C# and A/G. The F# and C# are especially useful for D and A chord inversions with the 3rd in the bass. I’d have to sit down with the instrument to remember what the C# row is, but it’s a fourth button start with the lowest few buttons being part of a low D scale. I might be open to selling this box if you are interested. Let me know, thanks.

Hi Peter, I used a Shure PGA98H on this setup. It is the version with a 3 pin XLR plug. I sometimes clip to the bass hand strap or the last bellows fold depending on the instrument size. It’s a great little mic. I plug it directly into the DAW via an audio interface. Thanks for listening!

@@TJEZOLD Thank you for informing me. I will get one. I get the bit about recording to a DAW and I have an interface but that only takes care of the audio. It must be quite a process to then sync it with the movie side? Are there any books on how best to do this? My liliput arrived today from Germany. It is like new! But needs revalving and rewaxing as the old wax has hardened over the decades. I have learnt how to do this myself so its not a problem Do you have a you tube channel? I would like to see and hear you play more. You are very accomplished and play the club model which interests me. Sorry to be a nuisance. Peter

@@petercane6376 looking forward to hearing your new Liliput! I use iMovie to bring the audio and video together. I’m sure there are many other apps to do it with. But, iMovie has worked well for me. Time consuming the first few tries, but gets easier as you go. I’m not sure if there are any books on the subject, but I bet there are UA-cam videos describing the process.

@@TJEZOLD Thank you so much. I have found your videos. You are one heck of a good flute player!!!! You got all the Irish accidentals in. Where are you from? What nationality are you? To learn Irish like that is commendable. You are a brilliant musician. Pete

Hi Peter, glad you enjoyed. Yes, I think they are really nice to play. It might take a few days to get used to the smaller buttons and spacing, but it is really fun to play. I prefer the club tuning, but it depends on how much time or patience you have to learn a new system. The club tuning allows full scales without changing bellows direction without sacrificing the ability to play the push/pull style if desired. The biggest difference is reaching for the 6th scale degree of the inner row, which only exists on the outer row on club system. Also, you’ll have the first degree of the outer row on the pull on the inner row. I find these differences and advantages make the club system much nicer for bass accompaniment and having options for playing style.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

Keep posting!

Thanks! Yes, the first one is The Morning Lark and the second is Seamus Cooley’s Jig.

Thanks! The first tune is Bonny Green and the second is Morgan Rattler

Thanks!

Thanks! I am a left handed flute player. Never really noticed I lift my thumb like that till you mentioned it. I play standard metal flute and the other woodwinds with hands in the proper positions, so it could come from that. I learned tin whistle left handed accidentally when I was young and that transferred to open hole flute when I picked it up. To late to swap hands now! All this and I’m actually right handed in all other endeavors.

Bonny Green and Morgan Rattler

Thank you!

Thanks! I’ve been playing flute on and off since around 2000.
