Re: lube for the tuning slide

[Thread revival. - Mod] So both Copley & Boegli and Windward recommend slide grease for tuning slide. Agree with the comment about storing flute with slide mated means you should grease it. If you’re good about cleaning your flute and occasionally replacing the grease, your slide will not bind ...

Re: Current wait time for a keyed flute?

I got on the Windward keyed flute wait list when it opened briefly in the Spring of 2018. At the time it was a three year wait for a keyed flute. Hopefully I’ll have something shiny and new to play this spring in 2021 and hopefully there will be somewhere for me to go play it. So that’s another thin...

Because I’m sequestering and dearly missing all the Toronto sessions, I would love to be playing all the time and learning new tunes. Problem is, my spouse is also home and our condo is small. I can sometimes play if she ...
