To the OP, markgoespop:

If what you need is a Renaissance D flute, then please contact the Sweet family, makers of Sweetheart flutes.

Renaissance flutes are inherently primitive by modern standards, but Sweetheart can make a very good one.

...I know that Renaissance flutes are not listed on the website, but Dad may still have one... Walt I have a Sweetheart Renaissance D flute in maple wood which I bought new more than ten years ago, serial number 39xx. Cylindrical bore throughout, the embouchure hole is small and the tuning is somew...

Yes, you posted about the site already on this thread's first page, on the first post. I have gone into the business of advertising, not to make any money at it but just for the fun of it. :-D The good news is that such advertising really does work. Participation on the other board has increased. S...

Hello, musicians!

Everybody here at Chiff & Fipple knows that ITM is the mainstay of this board.

Yet, there is another Chiff & Fipple board where you may speak, independently.

Hmm? It appears that the latest entry was by Dale himself.

Use it, or lose it!

@ JayDoc Don't forget that a tense grip can mean you're also smashing the flute into your lip, which in my experience kind of squashes the ringing, resonant tone I'm after... ...Good luck! Yes, tension is bad. Tension is so bad that there is a traditional way to stand while playing a flute, to thwar...

ya left out the part about Boehms being too loud A Boehm flute can be loud, but even better a Boehm flute can project to a faraway distance. One of my favorite recollections is when a neighbor of mine once told me that she enjoyed listening to my playing while she was in her back yard, at a time wh...

I like things to be in tune. Here's the question for you: What do you mean by "in tune"? OK, MTGuru, on this we agree. I began with Boehm flutes decades ago, and I learned to play them in both Just Intonation and Equal Temperament, yes, all on one and the same flute, and so Boehm flutes a...

Well, Dale could have objected to this, but so far, so good.

Anyway, Dale did create another website.

Use it, or loose it!

As you by now know, Chiff and Fipple has an Irish Traditional Music orientation.

However, apparently Chiff and Fipple 2.0 is open to ALL musicians.

Please, introduce your musical self.

Yes, I was aware that Howard Zinn was an older fellow, his having flown on bombing missions in Europe during WW II, and it is sad to hear that he is no longer with us. On the radio over the years I have heard him speak numerous times. His perspective was refreshing, and I believe he will be missed ...

So, just where could one draw the line? Do you know what a IV-V-I cadence is? That should answer your question. My question??? Ha! Frankly, MTGuru, I don't think that you have a musical ear, at all. More than that, I'm quite convinced that you are an arrogant, egotistical SOB, and I'm not about to ...

OK There are the major keys, and there are the minor keys, but sometimes they intermix, and it appears that CL's tune includes some of both.

So, just where could one draw the line?

I did so by declaring that CL's Time After Time tune is largely in a minor key, and in such related keys.

Well, I've just put a Happy BD tribute to Cyndi Lauper on the C&F Flute Forum, as, "Beauty, in a minor key".

I'm committed to putting this lyric on my flute, and happy BD, Cyndi Lauper. Your performance is beautiful!
