Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: Very much enjoy all flutes, bagpipes and whistles. I'm an older player; however, an active learner. I take current lessons from an Irish Flute tutor, a Boehm Flute tutor and a Highland Bagpipe tutor. I'm a great believer in lessons and without the assistance of a tutor, I find that I would be repeating the same mistakes over and over again, making me proficient in poor music.

Tell us something.: I started with playing bamboo flutes. But I transitioned to primarily playing the Boehm flute a few lessons ago with the aim of getting good music instruction. However, I've been transitioning to playing Irish Traditional Music on simple flutes.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Why do you say "Aussie"? He's a Brit. Typical, standard British accent. Besides, he is a Brit.

I'm just another Yank who has a real difficulty distinguishing between the two. There are times I can tell the difference, but this wasn't it.

Rising tone on "treats that I have been sent from from Zimbabwe" is typical Aussie but very localized amongst Brits.

It's becoming much more widespread. For a time, a year or so back, it was everywhere, but, thankfully, there's been a bit of a revolt against it, so with any luck we've nipped it in the bud.

I'm not saying there's only one "standard British accent," Peter, but his would be one of the most common, to say the least.
