I have bboo flutes in AA and GG. Great sound but I've never been able to play them fluently.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Nah. Mine's tunable, looks a lot nicer IMO, and sounds, to my ears, nicer than Overtons. Oh, plus it cost me a lot less. :)
