I suppose it could be my imagination, but it seems like we used to do more nattering about tunes, technique, and general fluthering than engaging in the interminable swap-shop. I have nothing against that, really, but would rather see it in the Buy/Sell area than here (I'll be selling a flute for a friend soon - guess I can't post it in the Flute Forum now!).
I admit I've let this put me off participating as much; I'll try to do my part to up the tone. This could be our new slogan:
"The Flute Forum: We've Upped Our Tone, So Up Yours!"

The downside of not being allowed to kibitz in the Exchange forum.
Perhaps you could attempt down toning....ah, toning down.
Not to mention a bit of that nonsense about note patterns.

It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Put me in "still playing" camp. I've posted a few times recently, but most often it has been advice for people buying flutes.
I do miss the more musical, and technique based questions.
I'll go start a thread on the Catharsis Reel.

My only misgiving is that sure as Frankie Gavin made little green apples, some fluteplayers will take it to mean that it's okay to play sharp.

Were supposed to play these things? I thought they were trading cards... 
BTW Rob, you want to buy a flute?

If it's got a RH Bb touch, we can talk! Or if it's a Wylde-ish center section without no headjoint nor footjoint, lost and lorn in a lonely world, looking for succour.Jon C. wrote:Were supposed to play these things? I thought they were trading cards...
