Barry Conaty is a young flute player from County Cavan. In July he won first place in both the U 12 flute and the U 12 flute slow air competitions at the Ulster Fleadh 2012. Barry plays a Martin Doyle flute<\/a> and recently sent Martin a very kind and eloquent note regarding his experiences and feelings about the flute.<\/p>\n

Hi Martin,
\nThank you so much for the time you spent with me and my family when we called to your house & workshop. I really enjoyed playing the flute with you.
\nWhile competing at the Ulster Fleadh, the adjudicator continuously emphasised the importance of having a flute with good tone whilst suiting your musical needs. When he announced the winner he commented on the excellent tone of my flute and then said that my flute had the best tone of the competition. I was awarded First Place in the U12 flute and U12 flute slow air competitions [2012]. The thing he looked for most was good tone and confident playing. I get my confidence and good tone from Martin Doyle flutes!!!!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
