As a touring musician I am delighted with its reliability and consistency of tone, no matter where I am in the world. The flute is perfectly in tune which is very important when playing in a band context. I also love the fact that it can produce a variety of sounds from a powerful bark to a sweeter, clearer tone, making it a very expressive instrument and suitable for all kinds of music from wild Kerry Polkas to more subtle slow airs. I always recommend Martin\u2019s flutes to my flute students.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Muireann\u2019s music sample can be heard here: <a title=\"Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh \u2013 Flute Music | Martin Doyle Flutes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.martindoyleflutes.com\/music.html#muireann\">Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh &#8211; Flute Music \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More testimonials from flute players all over the world can be viewed here: <a title=\"Testimonials | Martin Doyle Flutes\" href=\"\/testimonials.html\">Testimonials \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh is an accomplished flute and whistle player and singer from D\u00fan Chaoin in County Kerry, Ireland.
