Axianov-Ronchi Irish flute in C major

Axianov-Ronchi Irish flute in C major

This is a C-major version of my popular remix of Marat Axianov work. Bore, embouchoure and tone holes have been reworked and adapted in order to play in tune in the new key. A C flute has a mellower and deeper tone compared to the D one and is useful in order to play along with uilleann pipes flat sets in C.

Assembly

• The tenon must be glued into the middle sections, or otherwise secured with PTFE plumbing tape or similar material.
• Waxed cotton/linen/hemp thread must be used to obtain an airtight seal bewteen the flute joints. See this video on how to do the bindings: Flute tenon rebinding demo by Tony Millyard

Maintenance

• After playing, dry the bore of the flute with a soft cloth placed on the top of a wooden dowel.
• You are expected to rebind the joints every now and then, to ensure the airtightness of the flute.
• Be careful when using PTFE tape on the joints: too much will make them stuck forever or - even worse - will crack the flute.
• Since its plastic, feel free to rinse the flute with lukewarm water and dish soap to sanitize it. Remove the bindings first. Dry throuroughly and accurately before re-binding the flute and playing it again.
