I hear that, but if you read what you originally said, to wit....

...it should be easy to see that no one detected the nuance you more recently described. While I've occasionally railed against over-verbose posts here on the C&F, I would consider it a wise undertaking to spend a few more moments assembling your thoughts before posting, so we can all tell what you actually intend to say.

Meanwhile, more experience with conical flutes, and the recording thereof, will most likely lead the listener to conclude that the execrable quality of the recordings is chiefly responsible for the abundance of high-end whoosh audible on the Forbes clips, rather than the playing for KC. Cheers,

That's all very good. I think every thread should have a spin-off semantic discussion.

Seriously though, thanks for explaining things (goes to all of you).

Make sure you've finished your forum patrol first, wouldn't want any misspellings, misinterpretations or other atrocities to remain unnoticed. :-O

Sounds like fine work to me; I'm more of a shovel-man myself.
