The boxwood feels great, light. The sound is also somewhat light, almost creamy, though my teacher assures me it will bark and honk with the best of them when my playing improves. I've been at it about 7 months.

When your playing improves?
You're terrific now...

I prefer to see a flute in PVC;-) Baby!
<a href="http://larklark.tripod.com/flutel.jpg">A link cause I can;t find a free web host that will let you put a pic up anywear other then there own page. ARG!!!!!!</A>

Ok, this is a monstrosity of my own creation:-) since this picture has been taken, I?ve replaced the plug with a moveable one, enlarged and shaped the embouchure hole, and so I will be decapitating it and replacing it?s head with a tuneable one?. Yes, I knew Dr. Frankenstein quite well:-)

It?s alive! ALIVEEE!!!!!! MUWAA HAA HAAA!!!!!

What serial number is your Rudall, G? I've got 3869, and off the top of my head, yours appears younger.

I'm going to make a good picture of it tomorrow, I hope.

Hi Stuart:

Mine is #5384 made in 1848. You can't see from the photo, but it has a left-hand indent customization and an imbedded sharkskin patch for the right hand thumb.

I'll look for your picture post.

My meager collection. From top 2 bottom:

Andean quena in G
Quenacho in D
Tai Hei 1.8 shakuhachi
Indian bansuri in Eb ( Ab tonic)
Gautrot Aine 5 key flute (c.1888)
Mark Hoza 5 key modified Pratten( this flute appears on the cover of Woodenflute Obsession CD)

Notice that there are no recorders.

Hey Totst:

It's been a long time, man. How are you?

Nice collection. What can you tell me about the Indian bansuri. Good flute? who makes it?

Hey G,
It plays pretty good. I did a litle tweaking on the embrochure hole. It cost me 40 Singapore dollars at Little India in Singapore. Very cheap and they had a whole bunch to choose from. Now if i can only find a teacher...

P.S. I have several recorders as well but for the sake of public decency didn't photograph them--it seems few want to look at nude recorders these days.

James,

I knows this will be a tough question to answer, but which is your favorite and/or which do you play the most? For some reason, the Sweetheart in the foreground compelled me to wonder.
