Anybody know anything about the acoustical properties of lancewood, e.g. how it compares to blackwood? Well, I don't think we even need to hear a lancewood flute to determine the tone, do we, as reddish woods sound warm and blackwood sounds dark and mopane is chocolatey and yellowish boxwood sounds...

Crikey. Someone actually did it! Clicky

Please understand...I don't like the law any more than the next guy. It is overly complicated and is very hard to enforce. You got that right, and therein, methinks, lies the rub. The 'mob', as djm points out, too frequently uses a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, and the repercussion of *that* is e...

Ok...a few more questions.. What if you wrote a paper based on research you had done, but later found it printed up under another persons name? That's plagiarism. Which is distinct from copyright infringement. See wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism Or, going back to music, let's say ...

I've mentioned the book "The Athletic Musician (a guide to playing without pain)" before, and I shall now mention it again.

Large or small compared to what? The D flute is a copy of an 1826 Rudall & Rose.

As I've said when looking at the photos, I'm no Andrea Corr, but if you look past that, you can see some of the bits of his music room behind us. Clicky Good grief! Now that you mention it you're right, there *are* bits of Mike's music room behind the pair of you! Odd how I hadn't noticed that befo...

Having trouble with all the lying and making up stuff that's required? There are an awful lot of assumptions, supposition, and speculation involved. Are you sure you can handle all that uncertainty? And *belief*, Kevin, don't forget the *belief*. "The Sheffield University researcher thinks the...

Those of you still missing Steve, might I suggest a few hours at the range to improve your aim?

This flute is designed especially for very small players. Curved headjoint too. It's the same fingering as a standard Boehm, the only bit that's missing is the C footjoint, so you'll still have to re-learn the F# and C-nat fingering (or thumbing, in the case of C-nat). The clash will still be there...

If you see some diaphanous bint gliding across the water waving at you, Sillydill, tell her to stoat off and then run for it.

:lol: Glad it is , not it was , I think it's a nice band. Bart It is was. They no longer play in Eb since a piper joined them on their latest tour. They're now playing in concert pitch because of that. Who is the piper? Sadly I dunno, Avery... this is an email I got from Tom Morrow a couple of mont...

And was it Dervish that plays all in Eb? Bart Yes it is. :lol: Glad it is , not it was , I think it's a nice band. Bart It is was. They no longer play in Eb since a piper joined them on their latest tour. They're now playing in concert pitch because of that. Dominic Allan makes a superb Eb keyless.
