Don't play that baby in a lightening storm. You'll being giving an electrified performance.

Bloodly parrots!

Also, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to play super fast because I did not start playing this music as a lad (in fact, I started at 40). And you know what--that's fine with me. It bothers me a bit if I'm in a session and hot shots start playing at breakneck speed and I can't keep up, but only for a ...

That eBay flute is garbage. You'll do nothing but throw away your money on a FLO. A "Flute Like Object". Looks like a flute but won't play in tune or perhaps even at all. Doug is a good start at a entry flute but you'll be ahead of the game if you get yourself a proper conical timber flute...

Get used to it. You'll lose that key. Remember you merely paid to be its caretaker. Keep it intact. It will be around long after we are all gone.

The barrel looks very non-wylde. I would suspect the entire HJ. It may be stamped but the third section is NOT part of the original flute... unless of course it had the blocks removed and pin mounts as a later repair. Never seen anything like it. Seems anachronistic. I'm with JD here. Franken Flute.

Glad you like your new flute. Using my dial calipers, I measure my Copley delrin at 1.08 at the embouchure hole and .980 and the D hole. The taper is pretty even. I sold my Forbes, but it did feel a little thinner and the holes are a little bigger. Shame neither is quite what you are looking for as...

Well I just purchased two other digital albums as well so guess their cunning plan worked!

Nice of him (or them). Wonder why this is? "The Caledonian Flute" is certainly a worthwhile download. "The Fields of Frost and Snow" is new to me. I wondered the same thing. I know the first tune of the Caledonian album from your WFOs Kevin. Chris can throw down some tasty flute...

I was at session with him last Sunday. He's quite fine.

Nice! Thanks for the links!

Oh ma guuurrrrd!!

I just payed a visit to Jon to pick it up.

With all the micro cracks zipped up and with the pads and tenons reconditioned and repaired its a wonderfully good flute.

Jon does great work!
