Hi michaelpthompson,
What strange synchronicity. I asked the same question just the other day.
I don't see why you would need to split into individual instruments, that seems unnecessarily fine grained to me. Flutes are flutes I reckon. That includes whistles of course. [It was specially a flutemakers section I was positing.]
I did find your question and your thread later, and followed it with great interest.
I agree that you wouldn't want to split into individual instruments, but the question was more about whether makers of other instruments might want a similar functionality. Flutes and whistles go together, but what about Uilleann pipes, stringed instruments, or other instruments covered on the forum? Or perhaps there wouldn't be enough traffic for those to interfere with discussions on the Flutemakers forum?
