Tell us something.: I play flute and stringed instruments and enjoy playing in sessions and for step dancers and teach music part-time. My flutes are a new Gilles Lehart blackwood keyless in D, a c.1820 Clementi 'Nicholson improved' English boxwood single key in F and a simple-system 8-key English blackwood flute made by Richard Weekes of Plymouth, Devon c.1840 both in beautiful, pristine condition. I also have a wooden c.1880 English keyed flageolet. My home is in North Somerset a short distance from where my family come from at Blackford in the Mendip Hills and my repertoire are the tunes that are local to my area. That is the rural vernacular English music from when ordinary working people simply played and danced to their own rhythm with little concern for that which lay beyond a day's walk.

Yes, that's better! I just right-clicked to get straight to the image, but guessing that's a standard Imgur size thing you knew about? Unless you just looked for different sizes when I didn't...

Firefox has a Page Info item on its Tools menu. Browse the Media tab then for backgrounds & images, & sizes and source filenames are shown. There was even a little approx. 120x120 image.
