Dear panflute-world members, I wish you all a Happy New Year 2007. Now, my first question is : which music notation software are you using (Sibelius, Finale,...
Hello Everyone, Now that I have had some vacation time, I have finally had the time to expand "A Worldwide History of the Pan Flute" to include information I...
... Hi Pascal, I've owned, and spent a small fortune on several programs over the years... And when the Mac OS changed from the old OS to the new OSX versions...
Dear Panflute friends, I wish you a very Happy and Musical 2007 ! Dear Pascal, Finale and Sibelius are both very good music notation software but they are in...
Dear Costel, Thank you so much for your answer. I like Sibelius very much and I'm working with this software (the kind of people who reads all pages of the...
Hi Brad, thank you so much for your answer. I know you're experienced. I've put the different instruments on the score (flute, panpipes, ocarina, etc.) and I'm...
I have been using Finale for years, but changing the OS of my Mac and it is not working anymore... Much fees to keep it working ! Now I use Harmony Assistant...
Welcome to 2007! I do not think that we have talked about this before here... What makes good balance for a pan flute? Since long tubes are usually heavier...
Interesting point. I have also noticed that some makes of panflute are heavier than others. What do folks think about the weight of a panflute? I know that...
... Can you tell us more about why you don't like one that is very light? Does it need to sit down in the hand and not sort of move too much, like rise up...
From my limited experience and observations: - The lighter the better, at least to me - I leave the highest tubes much longer than they really need to be - ...
Hi Kevin, Brad and all panflute folks,......Happy new year by the way! (bit late!) Erm, where were we....oh yeah, weight. I'm not quite sure why I prefer a...
Hello Simon, I have found the weight of a pan flute not so vital as the manner in which a particular pan flute is held by the player. Holding a pan flute at...
Hello Simon, It's nice to know I am not the only one that feels that way. As a boy, I learned the Romanian nai, and the feather lightness of many of them...
It's a matter of preference I guess. I made a heavier panflute - and I don't like it. I also have yet to hear of anyone wanting to play a heavy violin, for...
... For me it is somewhere in the middle... a heavy panflute would be uncomfortable for me... and extremely light ones (in my experience) never had as nice a...
In theory, to play the fastest, or to be able to make all the small movements required for good pan flute expression, (vibrato, shakes, tilting etc.) light...
Hello Everyone, My point was that if a particular pan flute is held at its particular balance point, weight becomes a non-issue. However, the comfortable ...
... After 12 years it has to feel totally normal for you. What does it feel like when you play an average panflute??? Because of my arthritis I couldn't...
Hello Brad, I have handled other pan flute makes during the last 12 years, such as Dajoeri and Preda, and two of Kevin's flutes. A more standard nai, I guess...
Some panflutists read music during play which requires turning of sheet music pages with one hand. I am right handed so I will turn pages with my right. I...
Hey Douglas, I do know what you mean about the solidity factor - and if a heavier instrument is what you prefer, nobody can take that away from you. Like I...
Hello dear friends, I hope to find you very well.No reason for a panpipe to be heavy.I want to see someone playing hours and hours very fast,or in diferent...
Hello Ovidiu, Then, fly on over, and let this "shark" show you how it's done (grin). Douglas www.panflutejedi.com <http://www.panflutejedi.com> ... wrote: I...
Good point of view and very funny as well.So we are going to play only small panpipes by notes and biger panpipes by the ear.Ha,ha,ha...Come on gentlemen.The...
Hello Everyone, I recently came to a realization on the Round Table: It is useless to try to talk sense to a fanatic. With that thought, let us move on. ...
