Made to Parade Podcast S06 E04 - Peter Worrell

The latest episode of the Made to Parade podcast features flute and instrument maker extraordinaire, Peter Worrell. Known to most in Northern Ireland for his range of Bb Marching Flutes, however has a very extensive music and instrument making history.
Peter shares how he ended up getting involved with the marching band scene here and how that evolved into making flutes.
He talks about the process that goes into making a Bb flute and also about instrument care as well as some exciting developments coming in the future.
This is a must watch for anyone with a passing interest in flute making and wanting to know more about the instrument they play.
An absolutely fascinating conversation for me and thanks to Peter for taking the time out to speak with Made to Parade.
Next week see's us speaking with Davy Uprichard from Hillhaven FB.
Thanks as always to our Patreon patrons and our sponsors British Drum Co.
Until the next episode, look after yourselves, take it easy and keep marching on.
