Ok, I give, is this satire or not? I thought so at first, but the rest of the side is dead serious.

Then again, my girlfriend is deathly afraid of butterflies, so anything is possible.

Is this that condition where you look at a flute in the morning and think: am I going to be able to play you today? Now I have that condition. But the best cure for that is to have a lot of other instruments lying around.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Well! I certainly don't have a problem with that, although I may have incited Aulophobia in others who never had it before.

I have never known anyone with a phobic fear of flutes.

Now, flute-players, on the other hand...those are the ones to watch out for! A scary bunch if there ever wuz one. :D

The real question, though is: Is there any cure for aulophilia?

Treatment is symptomatic. Get more flutes.

That disease runs in my family. I'm the only family member who is not concerned.

Do you think Public Health Departments around the world will want to class flute players as vectors of disease?

Perhaps you'll all get sprayed with DDT :o
