Re: Tonguing technique

Over the years I have used most of the suggestions so far. In the end though I settled for T as in tin through to Th as in thing. If you can go from one to the other in steps and control the hardness precisely it is a great help. Recording yourself is a great aid too, you will soon pick up on whethe...

Re: Unfair distribution of tune names.

Two pies, but outdone by a page of puddings. It's the tarts, buns and crumpets that lose out. I'd not thought of culinary items... cooks do well of course, but not as well as butlers. 2 whole pages of breakfasts, boiled and otherwise, only a few dinners and not a single supper. Sausage, egg and bac...

Unfair distribution of tune names.

Due to pandemic tedium I was searching for tunes on The Session when I thought how unfair the distribution of tune names was. Beggars get 2 pages of tunes, sailors 4 whole pages! Soldiers get 2 pages, a whole page of thieves. 2 pages of doctors but nothing for vets, you would think that someone woul...

Re: Musical teleconferencing, other than instruction

We have been using JamKazam for sessions. Some problems, but surprisingly good. Latency is about 20ms, but all the players are within 20 miles of each other. 4 is the most you can play with reliably. You need a good audio interface and fast computer and fibre. We find we can't play full speed reels ...

Re: Pratten-style flutes--are they as expressive as Rudalls?

As far as I know it is flute players rather than flutes that are expressive! I have both and they both can be played sweetly or harshly.

Re: Many whistle Cd's on ebay

Hi Kevin, it will be a wrench to see them go but I have a new house to finish. My cd player died 2 years ago and my computer doesn't have a cd rom so I haven't taken one off the shelf for 2 years. There will be some very juicy flutes up for sale too.... The other CD lot numbers are here: 13142702084...
