Testimonial From Leanne Brennan

What better way to round out a year than to receive a lovely testimonial from a customer-friend expressing gratitude for a job well done! Two days before Christmas, Martin Doyle received the following words from Leanne Brennan of Kilcoole in County Wicklow.

Dear Martin,

I had been beyond excited waiting for the arrival of my new flute. What I received surpassed all my Expectations. The masterful craftsmanship is evident in every element of this beautiful Boxwood flute. From the feel and the look, to its smooth, clear, deep tonal sound. What a privilege to own and play such a flute, I will be perpetually grateful to have such an instrument in our family made by not only a master at his craft but a complete gentleman.

Thanks so much again for such an incredible flute! I have been “ar neamh” (in heaven) playing away 🙂

The gratitude of the heart
Is itself the breath-gratitude
Of life.

Martin Doyle’s Website Receives Facelift

Martin Doyle’s website has recently received a much needed facelift in the form of a new template – MDF’s fourth incarnation in 20 years! The site has been lightened a little with the photo gallery and video clips pages being replaced with Martin’s Flickr and YouTube channels.

A heart-felt THANK YOU goes out to our good friend Shana Stone who assisted with the rebuild of the website by way of proofreading each page and making some very helpful observations and suggestions. It was an invaluable service for which Martin Doyle and his team are extremely grateful. More about Shana in our next news post.

New Testimonial

Just added to Martin Doyle’s website, a very nice testimonial from flute player Eamonn Keane of Balla in the County Mayo.

Hi Martin,
You may remember that I travelled from Mayo just as the virus and lockdown were happening, and bought one of your two piece flutes. Meant to contact earlier and say thanks. It’s a delightful instrument – so much easier to play on than the other instrument I had.
Kind regards,
Eamonn.
