Thanks that was interesting.

I'm trying to think of the tune that starts at 3.20 can anyone identify it?

There are some 'Irish style' players who play a Boehm flute - Joanie Madden of Cherish the ladies is a great player.

In the second half of this video she's playing one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOrU5sVUyqs

I had a bad attack of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux (Gerd) last weekend which lasted on and of over two days. It's settled down now except for when I played a few tunes yesterday, after which I could feel it coming back. Apparently it's quite common with wind players and especially flute pl...

Siobhan O'Donnell from London, plays "The Swallow's Nest"..........

Thanks Kenny - Siobhan is a very good player and teacher.

I picked up that advice in a flute workshop a long time ago - the reason given that a G is a more stable (?) note whereas an A can var...

Hi, I play an 8 key flute I support the flute with my LH thumb under the flute close to the Bb key with the flute resting against my L1, on the fleshy bit between the knuckle and 1st joint, the Rh thumb goes under the flute. With the flute anchored against my chin below the lower lip it's pretty sta...

I am still looking for a supplier of large sanding sheets. There's a technique for flattening the sole of a bench plane that may be of use to you - glueing sheets of wet and dry onto a flat surface such as glass. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=flattening+a+plane+useing+wet+o...
