What does a REAL irish flute look like?

What matters is perception

illusion is everything...if ya can allude to an illusion, so much the better!

I rewrote that just fer you Jem...

Very effective, if a trifle affected on your part.

said it was for you, didn't I?

Let me ask you, who wants to play a simple ordinary diatonic flute? If someone were to ask you if you played an instrument, you would have to answer, "Yes, I play a simple ordinary diatonic flute".
.......

And what, pray you, does a REAL simple diatonic flute look like?
Does it look like a simple bansuri or a dizi or one of the many "real" and "unreal" keyless Irish flutes or a Rennaissance flute?

And, what does a REAL definition of these things look like and is it beautiful?

And, if I do obtain a REAL diatonic flute will it guarantee that no one will ever think that it is a chromatic flute and thereby scar its perceived beauty for life?

Okay, so if I play an unreal Irish flute, but I play it in a realistically Irish style, will it disappear?

I've been trolling eBay for a REAL Gallifreyan flute. The kind that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

I could fit Malloy's Space Flute inside one of those, no problem....I wonder if I could play harmonies?....Well, Matt probably could.

Sorry, Talasiga, you are dealing with peasants here.
I think your poetry is lovely.

Ah, I see now -
serfing the internet .....

Talasiga, that easily has to be your very best post ever. I didn't think you had it in you.

It always works -
if the peasants don't like poetics
let them eat puns ......

It would feel like playing a high D but sound like a low D. Sign me up for one!!

Late as usual but relevant to about three pages ago. My aunt plays the clarinet and was offered a job in Lawrence Welk's orchestra. She turned down the gig to be a school teacher. I wonder if anyone ever asked her what kind of Irish flute she played.

Cheers,

Kirk

She dodged that bullet.

I check in on this thread every once in a while, and wonder if the OP has gotten a useful assist.

Now I know what fueled the movement toward a post-structural area. And a good idea, it was.

How would you know?

One must then ponder the question:

"What does a REAL Irish flute player look like?"

Gee whiz, a beautiful Christmas compliment!
I average about two a year. Its not that members don't generally appreciate me.
Rather they often don't express it. If I got more appreciation as above I might even post less.


OTOH, a friend looking over my shoulder says that the above post is probably sarcastic and now I feel a depression coming on. Oh dear, what does a REAL compliment look like?
