Hi Jacob, [I tried emailling you but the email address is not being recognised.] I was wondering if you know precisely when the first flageolets with a 'barrel' appeared? Also, do you perhaps have an image showing a cross-section of the barrel / head joint of a flageolet? - I'm interested to see what, if any, similarities there may be between the inner configuration of this particular part of a flageolet and the corresponding section of a Native American flute. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. James—jamestdeacon[AT]gmail[DOT]com

Dear Jacob, Your website seemed to be the most helpful I have found on flageolets confirm my thoughts on the piece I have? I have tried to email yopu however this has not seemed to work so I have been unable to send you a photo? Looking at your photos I think I may have and English 6 key. If you could let me know your thoughts on this I would really apprechiate it and maybe point me in the direction of a dealer who may be interested in buying it in the south west? or where best to try and sell it for a good price? Kind Regards Suzie—suziekit84[AT]hotmail[DOT]COM):

Hello, I have trying to find out information about a musical woodwind instrument that has been left to me by my Aunt. I thought that it was a Recorder but it has Keys and comes apart with interchangeable mouth pieces. After looking through your web site I think that it maybe an English Flageolet . I have attached a photo of the item and wondered if you can tell me anything about it. I presume that it is old because my Aunt was 90 years old when she died and that was 30 odd years ago. It's been kept in a draw since then. Many Thanks, Susan.—S Davies. kad[101]@ntlworld[dot]com

Very interesting, something a person could pick up as a hobby and carry around quite easily, too.—Pam criSpinWalker(at) gmail(dot)coM

Wonderful site! Thank you for this. I have recently purchased a four key flageolet online and it appears to be in good order. The tone is very beautiful in the lower octave but is hit and miss in the upper register. I suspect that one or two of the key pads are possibly leaking and need replacing and the instrument is minus a beak. Can you recommend any restorers?—jamiekendallAThotmailDOTcom

What an interesting instrument! I understand it got replaced largely by the pennywhistle and the harmonica. —alex

I am considering purchasing a double flageolet from Daniel Bingham. Do you have a recording of someone playing the one you have pictured on http://www.flageolets.com/buying/newreviews.php?—jboyd013@comcast.net

Hello: I have a 19th century 6 key English flageolet which is in good condition but needs a bit of a service to address a couple of minor issues. Can you recommend anyone in the London area or Southeast who could do this for me? Cheers.—dwhthompson[AT]yahoo[DOT]co[DOT]uk
