Am I the only one who gets that clip when I click on the link above ? :-? Quite entertaining indeed, but not quite what I expected :wink:

Didn't check out the clip before I posted. That'll learn me.

That guy is ridiculous. Bring back the days of Flock of Seagulls on MTV. I don't quite catch the Olwell for sale, sold to Loren, extremely humorous tie in however.

Have you got it yet, Loren? How's it play? I bet it has a meaty, thick, syrupy, static-y, pensive, sorrowful-yet-bone rattling tone when you drive it just right, huh?

Loren, of the five-pound lip, has asked me to let all know that the flute is available again.

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Location: Loren has left the building.

Right you are G., the sound is just as you describe - clearly my old flute was crap. Check me out now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9X5HLc0d6o (Flute starts 46 seconds in)
