That's a bit blunt, FC, but yeah, you're right. Trouble is, some yanks don't handle directness like that very well.

I feel I just have to share this now. I'm on my own with these little tunes and the way they're played. You can't bring them to a session really, you know how these Irish sessions are, everybody wants to pretty much to play together. So if you introduce something new and most people don't bring tap...

Typical answer, one I would expect ''' maybe next years fleadhcheoil organizers will thank and name those who actually do the real work. not the hangers on, who like their names in lights,

I have not just joined, anyway , "what differance does it make,?" you dont own the site, the Fleadh was great, thanks to the musicians from around the world, and all those hard working volunteers .. most who were not members of CCE !!! 99% of those people attending the Fleadh were not memb...

How about a "sticky" at the top of this forum warning people away from Pakistani ebay flutes? The question seems to come up fairly regularly, and there's only one answer! Pakistani flutes cost $80 in Pakistan, greed ensures they are sold for $350 in many music shops around the world, they...

Message received and answered, Frank. Heh heh, it never rains but it pours, as the old saying goes. I was just discussing on the flutemakers list how I keep getting sent flutes with post-mounted keys that have broken off at the hinge tube. So you can guess what Frank has. The long F in his case, hi...

Only two notes to add to the sticky: 1.) How can you tell something is a Pakistani flute? 2.) List characteristics for determining same so this doesn't become a "Is this a Pakistani Firewood in the Key of D" post. I think we're using the term "Pakistani flute" to mean Pakistani ...
