Big flute!
I found it very easy to play (weight aside). Just as a regular flute is easier to play (in terms of embouchure) than a piccolo, this was that much easier than a regular flute. Really, my lips were in a very loose embouchure (aperture?), and it didn't seem to take noticeably too much air. The tone was very nice (one octave lower than a regualr flute) and rich. It was quieter than a higher flute. The flute was physically well-balanced and I enjoyed it.

Now all of these posts and photos are the coolest thing to hit this board in months.
Since I'm in China, maybe I can find some of these big flutes to sell you guys. Outrageous.
I'm going to take Pat Olwell on a tour this summer of bamboo groves in Jiangsu province to find some long node bamboo...just maybe he'll be ready to make that low low low Bb flute we're all looking for.
