Hey!
I am considering upgrading my keyless Blackwood Sam Murray flute to an 8 keyed Murray flute.i am being tempted to go for boxwood over the standard blackwood.I have played a keyless boxwood murray flute before and really liked the weight feel and tone of it, but i was just wondering does anyone have bad experiences with keyed boxwood flutes?are they more prone to cracking/warping than blackwood flutes?Which would be better in your opinion?
I have had a 5-keyed boxwood flute (made by Cyril Maguire) for 5 years or so and have had no problems with it, in fact I love it because of the tone it produces,strong and reedy and sweet at the same time.
good luck with your quest
