I would explain them the same way I would explain the F alto Sax

Delightful side ventures in melody making.

indeed, while Yamaha is not my favorite, it should do well for you as

North of Dallas.. currently.

Originally from East Texas.

several factors I'm sure, most of which are covered here.. food for thought though.. the Irish flutes tend to be in d g and D sort of keeping them in harmony.. although the only keyless in G that I know of has to be tuned to a pentatonic scale due to physical limitations. :) Other instrument familie...
