FluteFling~ traditional flutes and whistles in Scotland
FluteFling classes, workshops and weekends provide opportunities for people to learn and develop traditional skills on the whistle and flute in a Scottish setting.
These videos were made for the European Folk Day 2024 by contributors to The Flutefling Collection.
The Flutefling organisation commissioned and printed the collection during covid lockdown to provide some support to traditional musicians (particularly flute players) during that difficult time. The collection provides a lasting resource for traditional musicians, with contributors providing their favourite flute based tunes, both modern and old in the traditional style.

There are discussions about a second printing of the Flutfling Collection where you can find the sheet music for almost all the music on their playlist and much more . . . Keep an eye on the flutefling website www.flutefling.scot

Hi Sharon. Wonderful to hear you. Fabulous tune and fabulous playing.
Thank you Brid xx

Lovely tunes!
Just beautiful!
Lovely tune
Lovely job Davy
Such a powerful and confident sound! Masterpiece!
Very nice playing.
Interesting flute! Aluminum body I believe? And a German style headjoint with ebonite (?) lip plate. Solid sound.
Hi, my flute is a 1960 Uebel, 2-piece flute made in (East) Germany. The body is ‘Vibralloy’ aluminium and the mouthpiece is plastic!
Fantastic playing by Davy
And indeed by Orlaith !😅
Wonderful playing! Cheers Jim
Yey! Love it. 😊
Love the tune! Beautiful playing too, of course! 🙌
Wow - Great playing! Had to play that a couple times.
Rebecca's bio in the FluteFling Collection indicates she plays Chris Wilkes flutes in D, Bb and Eb and Sindt whistles.
John's contribution to the FluteFling Collection indicates his main whistle is a Tony Rose ebony in D. See P12 in the Collection
Can I ask what whistle John is playing?
Nicely played or is it plaid?
