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

I think you will find that the recorder was more popular than the flageolet in France in the C18 - especially in the first half of the century. The C18 was a low point for the flageolet following its popularity in the C17 and its very substantial resuscitation in France (and elsewhere) in C19. Personally, I do not consider that the tiny French flageolet (which is the type under consideration) with its four finger holes and two thumb holes bears any comparison with the recorder in C18 music. The exception is in its role of the 'bird flageolet'for teaching birds to sing.—Douglas MacMillan: douglas.oriana[AT]btinternet.com

I'd like to know what advantages the flageolet has over the recorder and why it became more popular than that instrument in 18h century France in particular—David Fletcher
