Its a rare day for we have the prospect of a
hung parliamentl for Australia
and furthermore, I find myself agreeing with Rob Sharer!
I don't quite understand why Jem is raising this again for we have been through this umpteen times in these forums. That is why, despite the often very useful and informative gems we find in his posts, I feel that once agian Jem is veering to pedanticism. And by pedanticism I mean in the the strict, accurate sense of the word meaning expressing a correct thing OUT of CONTEXT or to a level of precision that is either redundant or not called for.
As for Rob's agreable entry, his point goes toward whistle nominations also.
As for bansuri, the D key bansuri for example (comparable to the D Irish flute) is predominantly nominated either as D key instrument or a G Sa (tonic) instrument, the latter denoting a tonic position XXX OOO which is preferred for North Indian classical music. This is merely an extension of the point covered by Rob.
For those of you who find this post long and laborious and itself veering to pedanticism, may I refer you to my previous succinct post at page 1 of 17 syllables. I hope it dosn't put you to sleep.
