I'm sorry what?

I meant I love this video 👍didn’t mean to be offensive !!! I’ve a habit of leaving silly irrelevant comments on KZbin when I’ve had a few 🍷thanks for the uploads 👍😎

J G had a habit of playing a trad tune -on a whistle- after some of his recitals ....to my ear it never worked and he was not a good traditional player; don't think he would have made it at the Fleadh...some things are perhaps better not done at all. .Wonderful classical player in his day.

Generally not in the usual traditional sense of the term.

But am enjoying Galways and Molloys playing, is like Molloys a bit more free yeah, more muted, Galway is clean and specific, can enjoy that : -D

God I can't tell you how much I miss seeing and partaking in performances, hopefully live music can come back soon fs : -D

I think Molloy is just a lot more shy and to so much of a talk person

Heh, I didn't pay attention when I copy&pasted it from source. Fixed.

@@kmartyCZ I don't see double strings? Looks like a guitar to me edit: actually he's playing bouzouki and switches to guitar at the end for the boys of bluehill

He played an acoustic guitar on a few tunes in the "Matt Molloy" album actually. It can be hard to distinguish, as he uses the same sort of countermelodies and strumming techniques as he would on the bouzouki.

On Molloy's album Heathery Breeze it is called The Hare in the Heather, but most people probably knows it as The Morning Dew - thesession.org/tunes/69

@@kmartyCZ Nice thanks m8!

you think so? I have the impression the even today you will find very few trad flute players, who don't totally worship Mollys playing ;) Funnily, an actually Irish and very accomplished flute/professional flute player, whose family even played with together with Matt Molloy in a Ceilidh Band doesn't like his playing so much. She doesn't like the speed of his playing and that he uses so many crans - because the even older generation of flute players didn't use them.

He plays the A and Ds

Mat a genious

Ask whom? The usual price of wooden simple-system flute nowadays is around 2500-3500EUR (some of them up to 5000EUR). "Eb" flutes are usually slightly cheaper (concert pitch is "D" flute). I didn't notice big difference in price between old, original, flutes and newly made ones. Except buying old ones is more risky (hidden cracks, leaks and so).

@@kmartyCZ I don't know ..but I suspect Galways flutes could be around 50-100 k sterling. I think the late Albert Cooper made some instruments for him. A fairly decent metal Boehm is around 10k ....as for trad flute prices your figures look about right .

Gold flutes start around $28,000 plus taxes for Rose Gold.

@@ThomasMulliganFlute 14k-24k gold flute are like $28,000-$55,000

@@Lisnageeragh I believe a Patrick Olwell keyed traditional wooden flute costs about €15,000 with a 7 year waiting list.
