More kind comments from owners of Martin Doyle flutes.
Dora Apatini — flute player from Hungary:
“When Martin first came to Hungary, I had the opportunity to try one of his flutes and it was flute-love at first sight. They are so beautiful, with such wonderful tone! I think that when Martin makes these flutes, he gives not just his knowledge and know-how, but his spirit too! That is what I feel every time I have my flute in my hands.”
Ken Doyle — flute player from Texas, USA:
“[...] The flute (Doyle ‘traditional style’ in African Blackwood) was delivered this morning. It looks and sounds beautiful. It’s an added bonus that it has my name so prominently stamped on the front. :-) Thanks for the excellent service.”
Karen Reid — flute player from Arrowtown, New Zealand:
“Thank you very much for the fantastic flute. (Traditional style keyless flute in Cocus wood) I have never enjoyed playing as much as I do now. The tone is lovely, rich and strong. I have also found it very easy to play compared to my old flute. It’s a truly beautiful instrument. Thanks also for being so very helpful and great to deal with.”
Simon Reedman — flute player from Auckland, New Zealand:
“The instrument (Traditional style keyless flute in African Blackwood with tuning slide) is developing a nice tone, which is improving with age, so imagine 20 years hence! As for the quality - very pleasing and well made.”
Pietro Berlanda — flute player from Bolzano, Italy:
“The sound is wonderful, enchanting and the instrument is marvellous! I'm really happy to play one of your flutes and to have met you.”
Yusuke Usuda — flute player from Kanagawa, Japan:
“I am very pleased with the two flutes Martin! I played the D flute for the set dancing with my friends last Saturday evening. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent responses and the great capacity of the tone colours. For me, these flutes are saikou — the best!”
David Thompson — flute player and member of The Belfast and District Set Dancing & Traditional Music Society
from Bangor, Northern Ireland:
“The Celtic style flute without tuning slide is the most satisfying flute I've ever played. It has a crisp and full low register — the low D really honks! I love the simplicity of this flutes appearance, yet the tone I can get out of it is truly awe inspiring and it's always in tune. This is 'flute minimalism' at it's finest!”
