German vs. English Flutes

[smoro]

Spanish, Spanish flutes are better than German and English ones.

Do you mean the requinta, the vuvuzela of Spain?

Paging Geert Lejeune!


That's as close as we're likely to get.

p.s. CORRECTION: Holland is hopping with flutemakers, apparently, mostly Boehmoids. Paging Eva Kingma....

Simon Polak I believe is Dutch and makes killer baroque flutes. Definitely rooting for the Oranje.

[smoro]

...and better that the Dutch too.

Spanish flutes are ideal if you only want to play ONE tune, right at the very end of the session.

Agreed.
I still prefer german flutes most of the times, it's a pity that towards the end of the session they stop playing properly...

[pflipp]

Yeah, Baroque and Boehm, somehow that's what we're good at.

Lots of potential they have, but of course it's second to ideal.

Then again, my esteem of English whistle players has also lowered a little these days...

Oh, well. Good thing I don't care much for music

There are times when the 'stiff upper lip' advice doesn't apply, it seems.

Well, that's great when you only need to play ONE tune, to close the session with a good flute solo!

hahah!
