Re: Flute Cases Again

I haven't found anything better than the pistol cases so far...

Can you modify a "silver" flute case ??

If this is really a flute from New Hampshire then where are the state's favorite critters?
Hey! I resemble that remark...besides, our poison ivy is well known to be really lovely.

Re: Accordion Pickups / Mic Technique

By far the cheapest setup I've seen is a small dynamic speaker suspended on elastic bands in the center of the bellows (internally, that is) and brought out through a jack. My chemnitzer came that way and seems to work well enough...... (a lot will depend on the capability of your preamp of course)

Re: A new understanding on flat foot flute physics?

Hi Terry....just passing through....

One point to add at the moment.....bellmakers were familiar w/ the "missing note" technique for their tuning for a very long time.......someone may be able to comment further on that....
