I've just found my poor, neglected George Rudall flute in the cupboard under the stairs. The thing is around three million years old (early 1820s - is that just 2 million then?) and Sam Murray rescued it a bit more recently than the 1820s.

Here's a tune which I'm glad to be able to put on here. I glad to and an on here at all. The site www.went away for a while but the hosting people kindly got it back for me.
This tune was previously recorded by a flute player called Matt Molloy. I'm sure some people may have heard of him.
