A gun case would be the most protective... And in fact that's what I keep it in when in travel. Going from ren faire to ren faire, I carry it in a Roll-up whistle case I got from Whistlesmith Michael Burke. However, when I'm actually AT the ren faire, I carry it in a shoulder strap (much like many l...

It looks like most of the advice is covered. One little tidbit I'd like to offer is try contacting the manufacturer of the flute and see if they can recommend any repair facilities in your area. Personally, my high-end flutes (Platinum Powell and Gold Muramatsu) get sent back to the factory every ye...

OT: Ohhh... I love K313 (Flute Concerto in G). I had a chance to play it with my college orchestra my sophmore year. Are you working on it for a performance or just to learn it? The third section (Rondo/Tempo di Minuetto) is probably one of my favorite pieces of all time. Just remember, the three hi...

I received my Masters of Arts in Composition and Performance. (So, what do I do for a living? I'm a programmer...talk about a 180 career change.) My primary performance instrument was Flute, but I studied Clarinet, Saxophone, and Piano as well. At the height of my studies, I would practice flute 4 h...

Another series of books/software (if you can find them) that you might want to look into is called Essentials of Music Theory. I have a copy of the book, but I understand that a supplement has been added for computer. It's pretty good, and will give you a good fundamental understanding of modes, tim...

Ahh... Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Now tell your friends to put their pitchforks and torches away. So, what we're looking for is more of a hands-on approach to theory as opposed to a cold-facts approach. Check out this website: http://www.mibac.com They have a very good rudimentary hands-on t...

The question of why do you want to learn music theory is in no way a discouagement to do so. Please don't think of it as such. Any willingness to learn is always a synergistic advancement to the whole. However... Why you want to learn music theory is a perfectly valid question. Are you learning it t...
