Hi all, I just posted the flute tune "Pigeon on the Gate" on Clips and Snips, at:

http://nwparalegal.com/clipssnip/non.html

and wonder if you IR-trad woodfluters could give me some feedback/advice on my flute playing. I would also like to know if I'm generally on "the right track". You can reply to this thread or my email if you chose to. Thanks!

It sounds great to me. Your rolls sound nice and tight. Thanks for posting. I wish more flute players would post.

Sounds good.
Rhythm and breathing are both good. Tempo is good as well.
I think you'd find the overall tone of the flute and especially the lower notes to speak with more volume and bite if you used a stronger airstream with more diaphragm support, but part of that may actually be the recording and not really your playing.
Overall, sounds really good.
