Tom\u00e1s MacUileag\u00f3id<\/a>, a flute player, fiddler and harp maker from Dublin, Ireland, has kindly sent Martin Doyle<\/a> a testimonial which has been added to Martin’s website. Tom\u00e1s recently purchased a keyed flute<\/a> from Martin Doyle.<\/p>\n “Hi Martin, Very thoughtful and insightful words from a fellow instrument maker \u2014 thank you for your kind and encouraging comments Tom\u00e1s.<\/p>\n
\nI have thought a lot about writing to you since I got my keyed flute from you. I wanted to really feel my way into it and explore what it has to offer. I am astounded by the range of colour available, just waiting for me to exploit it. The tones available far exceed what I could get on the flute I got off you 10 years ago. I wanted the keys because I have a particular interest in the music of east Galway, Paddy Kelly<\/a> and Paddy Fahey<\/a> in particular, and you can\u2019t really manage that without the F natural. Obviously since I have a keyed flute I notice other flutes much more, and I am continuously impressed by your standard of craftsmanship, and I understand how difficult it is to maintain such a high standard. Well done!! I don\u2019t know what motivates you as an instrument maker, but I enjoy being able to create something that is unique with its own voice, that will hopefully live long after me and in some small way contribute to making the world a better place. I think you have already achieved this. Thank you.
\nRegards,
\nTom\u00e1s.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nMore Testimonials<\/h3>\n
