Hello all Just two quick points on Jed's comments: I have to admit, Barbara, that I hadn't heard Bart's remark about radio vs TV before... I must be out of the...
ROD: It seems odd to me that in a "when is a 'copy' a copy" string that you started you that you would write: "have just delivered four *CA Grenser*...

Dear Philippe Thank you so much for your clear reply. Now I understand that when I read "German flute" in an old flute method I should look at the period of...
Thanks Rod for an eloquent posting! If I respond to it in detail, it is not because I in any way contend it...in fact, it simply inspires me to agree with you...
Dear everyoneThis is one of the most interesting subjects discussed since this group has existed. It includes some important paradoxes. No makers wants...

I immagine Quantz playing a Boehm flute with certaint reluctance to. In my opinion and experience that is really small compared with the "monsters" of the...
Hiya Kim, Well, I am normally of a dizzy disposition, so I cannot blame my light-headedness at the NFA in Albuquerque on the altitude! As far as Ms Brown is...
Flashmail dear Javier I wonder why the English kept this word "German" so lately about the flute; in Germany itself they called it rightly "Schweitzerpfeiff"...
Yes, Ms. Brown's performance was indeed a tour-de-force/barn-burning event. At altitude. Without a net and in 5% humidity. And in a hotel ballroom with its...
Dear Allain Thank you so much for your contribution, but as Spaniard, I would say that here in Spain the name given to the Baroque flute is "Traverso" and...
