I posted the flute today, adressed to Bayswater

'Bayswater' from Denmark should be the next, that's what Jon sent me long time ago. Is it still so?

Hello, I'm the guilty one :oops: It has dissapeared indeed somewhere in my room, but safe in its case and good temparature.

It's a bit unclear to me how long i may keep it and to who i have to sent it ...

Don't know how to describe the 'types', but i try:

Frederik you're utterly on the wrong track. C natural will depend on the player for it's intonation and I think you'll find you rarely will want an equal tempered one. But if and when you do the way you play the C will determine whether or not you'll get one. Yes i know, breath pressure will 'make'...

Do you really test your whistles against a tuner? I mean really? Yes really. Yes i mean really. What good is that for anybody when the real test should be with your ear! Every single note of a tune has to be adjusted on-the-go and you need your ear, especially if you play with other ears. It's all ...
