The cork position on my flutes is important for best tone production first. If the cork is adjusted wrong, then the bottom D maybe doesn't play in as well, causing all sorts of mischief to the intonation there and elsewhere. This 23-24mm is the "factory setting". Outside of those paramete...

here is a historical tome itself on the history of the music ......

I really liked Gordon's last post here because of the points he made and the way he made them. I think that by heeding his post we can come back to the constructive driver for this topic. I don't feel that simply because we may not be able to irrebuttably identify significant players who are EXCLUSI...

Thanks Tal for listening and taking the time to comment. I appreciated the feedback and will work toward incorporating some of your suggestons. I don't know about 'rubato.' Arbo Is this a motherhood type response to my feedback? Whatever it is I am confused by this because I did not suggest any THI...

thanks to rama I have listened to it twice and I could listen to it more despite some of the negative points I will mention in a minute. Arbo, your flute has a very beautiful timbre and if you are a beginner your playing evokes that quality from the flute very well. I DO have natural or cultural bia...

I'll need to remember this type of feedback when next you share your clips for discussion.

I found that all the octave folding got in the way. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that most folks won't understand what you are talking about. ......... well I am pretty stupid, I haven't heard the thing because I am travelling and this PC doesn't have audio, I don't know what "octave f...

I'm wondering whether you want a whistle as an instrument or as a fashion statement That's a bit harsh, Kypfer ... Just put yourself in the shoes of someone facing the bewildering choice of whistles out there for the first time. :o I think that would be quite difficult because that "someone&qu...

I don't do ebay so I can't discuss all that stuff you blokes are going on about but when someone says Williams I think of Williams flutes made in England. Might he have made whistles also? Is that the Dave Williams who died in 2004? I have a traditional music instrument catalogue I picked up in Lond...

I think I will call my band Con Fusion
because our music is inspired by the phantastic summer equinox sunsets.
I also played small bansuri a bit because my wife and I lived and worked in Australia for many years ......
