	Instruments
		The increase in number of Irish flute-players and the limited number of surviving antique flutes has led, in the late 20th century, to the development of flutes made especially for Irish music, which however are copies of the Victorian instruments.
		The standard low whistle is in D, the same pitch as the Irish flute and "concert-pitch" uilleann pipes, and an octave lower than the usual D whistle.
		It seems that the Irish low whistle was invented by Irish uilleann piper, pipemaker, and whistle player Joe McKenna in the 1970’s after he bought 20 large red plastic whistle tops in a London junk shop and experimented with making brass-tubing bodies for them.

	Kiwicelt Wooden Flutes - Home Page
		I have found the wooden flute to be a perfect instrument for expressing the subtle qualities of meditative music in both it's dynamic and gentler forms - in the same way that the wooden flute has been valued in traditional Irish music for many decades.
		Great for beginners and experienced players alike, you will find that they suit not only the traditional Irish, Celtic and Folk music styles of rhythmic music or the slower airs, but can also be used for ambient and meditative music or for those just interested in playing for personal joy and fulfilment.
		Kiwicelt, whilst promoting Martin Doyle's beautiful wooden flutes, is also designed as a resource and an inspiration; which I happily dedicate to music that uplifts the spirit and inspires the heart.

	Flute
		These simple system flutes continue to be used in folk music (particularly Irish traditional music) and in "historically informed" performances of baroque (and earlier) music.
		Flutes may be either transverse or end-blown, and their tubes may be either open or closed.
		This is why police whistles, a form of flute, are very wide for their pitch, and why organs can be far louder than concert flutes: an organ pipe's tone-hole may be several inches wide, while a concert flute's is a fraction of an inch.

		Michael Coleman, the supremely expressive player of lyrical sweetness and sadness, and James Morrison, the master of strong rhythm and impressive technique, were bitter rivals, with New York Irish musicians sometime being forced to align themselves on one side or the other.
		Particularly in the 1920's and 30's, traditional players found audiences in the taprooms and dance halls of America, as well as opportunities to record-and broadcast their music: opportunities they could never have had, however accomplished they were, in the struggling Ireland they left behind.
		Players who later, li ke McKenna, emigrated to America were Mick Conlon, and Stephen Fallon from Drumkeeran, of a musical family known for identification as the "Ruther" Fallons.

	Music Folk Feature: Wonderful World of Flutes
		A fipple flute is one held perpendicular to the floor and with the mouthpiece or blow hole at the very end of the instrument.
		With a fipple flute, air is blown into the mouthpiece and is split by a piece of wood, bone, plastic or metal (the fipple) located inside the body, thus being forced out of the tone holes and producing sound.
		Flutes are classified into two groups: fipple flutes and transverse flutes.

	The Irish "session"
		Hammy Hamilton, the well-known Irish flute maker, responded:
		The lifestyle in which Irish music originated is almost totally gone, and before we become too nostalgic about it we should remember that it was a life of hard physical labour, grinding poverty, poor health and early death.
		At one session, at the end of the evening, some of the older singers sang began to perform songs which encapsulated what being from Newtownbutler is about, and,the moment the singing began, the whole atmosphere changed, and virtually everyone in the pub became intensely engaged.
