Marching Band Specialists

We have been associated with marching bands for over 120 years. At least every member of the family can either play a flute or a drum or both. Our great grandfather was a fifer and played with the lambeg drums in Tullyhogue, Co. Tyrone. His sons were either fifers or drummers and the tradition is still strong as his great grandsons are both holders of World Championship Medals for playing in flute bands.

Flute and Drum repairs have been carried out in our Enniskillen premises since 1981, but originally started over 40 years ago by our repair specialist Alvin Mullan. Since then we have repaired thousands of flutes for bands throughout Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, UK and Europe. We also repair traditional irish flutes and have worked for Cathal McConnell and late John Joe Maguire.

We decided to design of our own wooden Bb 5 key marching flute and call it 'Mull-Wilk', that was in January 2005 and since then that flute has been sold to 33 bands throughout Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Scotland. In April 2010, the name was changed from 'Mull-Wilk' to 'Mullan' Flutes.

We listen to our customers and try of supply instruments which they need and in some cases we design new instruments for these bands. Back in 2007, we got an enquiry from a band in South Londonderry, they had been using Skeleton drums (which are small brass drums with cut-outs on the shells) their drums were approaching 100 years of age and were in need of replacing. We searched the world for a manufacturer and when we found one we got moving to ordering a sample. We held an evening in Curran Orange Hall in South Londonderry to promote the new skeleton drum. We left that night with 47 orders. The following week new orders came in from the local A.O.H. bands who also used the skeleton drums and the total order soon came to 100 drums..

We launched our Belleisle range of metal Concert flutes and have sold to a number of part music flute bands and flute choirs throughout the UK. In 2009 we designed a new Belleisle G Treble which has proved to be greatly loved by experienced flute players in the part music flute band world.

We continue to support local band competitions and in February 2011 we sponsored the Northern Ireland Flute Band Association Annual Own Choice Contest in Lisburn and we donated a new 'John Murdie Memorial Cup' which will be presented to the winners of the Grade Four/Unaffiliated. The Winners of the Cup for 2011 is Orangefield Flute Band from County Down.

2011 is looking to be another busy year. We are continuing to sell Ming Drums into the Repubic of Ireland and recently supplied Maghery Fife and Drum Band in County Donegal. In April we sponsored the 46th National Band Championships of Ireland held in The Helix, Dublin. We have now supplied St. Mary's Fife and Drum Band in Limerick with a full set of Mullan Bb Flutes.
