Dear All, I have a AC Grenser traverso made by Rod Cameron that I acquired from a spanish player three years ago. Recently I noticed a minor crack in the...
Dear Rodrigo, The first thing to do is to see that no more cracks happen, as they are almost certainly caused by dryness. Then, you should always contact the...

Thank you for advice, Mary! But I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where humidity is not a problem for wood flutes - the lowest humidity during the winter...
Oh.... So then you would want to swab the flute out thoroughly after playing and not put it in any case, and the mount cracking was likely caused by the wood...

... With a bit of luck the man himself appears before too long. In the mean time, beware that it is important to repair cracks as soon as possible, before any...
Yes... and a winding of nylon thread is good for that, but you might want to cut a piece of thin plastic (eg. from a "disposable" cup,) or heavy paper, to fit...

... I would use something like a good grade of cloth, card or paper (acid free); had some nasty surprises leaving plastic in contact with expensive wooden...
Dear Rodrigo, Mary, and Ron, Thank you for your good interchange and advice regarding the Grenser flute! Yes, I have received your email, Rodrigo, and the...

I would love to hear (and see) a video of 10 of your flutes playing all at once. If you ever get a link, could you please point us to it? Also, when you have...
Thanks, Paul! The US Army Fife and Drum Corps are about 80 members. They split up, and go all over, to do mostly outdoor military type displays. You have no...
Dear Traverso Teachers, Would there be a way for us to "advertise" summer workshops where we'll be teaching? I'd like to provide as comprehensive a list as...
Hi Ron, Thanks for the information. Given that there is no journal dedicated to early flute interests, I don't know of a better platform to collect a larger...
... Have you forgotten Traverso, published by Folkers & Powell? They do publish little news items, including summer workshops as I recall. Best wishes. Yours,...

HI all I have to warn everybody on this list about my bad experience with the Packard Humanities Institute which offers the complete works of CPE Bach at sale...
I disagree with Ron on this. The classified option seems ok for a general listing, rather like the list that Ardal has on his site, but if I understand Colin,...
But Philippe, this edition was not intended to be a performing edition. It is part of a critical edition of the complete works of C.P.E. (as they say on the...
HI Steve For Europeans it is 56 US$ for one volume with shipping +currency charges. You may find it cheap, but for this price I would like to be able to...
... I was pointing out that there is a classified option, a technical facility that is not yet enabled, which was not my decision. In the mean time, how much...
Hello everyone, I've been lurking for quite a few months, and have learned quite a lot. I personally would LOVE to see a place where masterclasses, workshops,...
Hi Philippe. That's a little different. In the US it lists for only $20 + Shipping, which makes it quite a steal compared to equivalent volumes of other...
Hi Steve Here is the shipping price for Europeans : 56 US$ include the currency charges in fact. Qty Description Price Total 1 C.P.E.BACH:VOLUME II #1 20.00...
Hi everyone, David is correct that TRAVERSO (http://traverso.baroqueflute.com ) lists some summer courses, but as editor of the newsletter I learned a thing or...

The thread on summer schools prompted me to dig out again a list I made and posted here some years ago and update it. I have published the result to my site at...
Hi everyone: I have just subscribed to the list. My apologies if this was double-posted. As editor/admin of EarlyMusicNews.org (http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org)...
... Something else that needs to be said: So many of these enclaves positively do not want to encourage the participation of strangers. Should the clientele...
