flutepicc06, Thanks for the tip about the C-D trill using the C# trill and first trill key. Will have to try that out when I get my flute back. Yep, have to agree that adding the C# trill (and Split E) in 1998 was a good investment. I don't know why I didn't think of the D# roller too. I still need ...

So my orchestra conductor gets to hear me on my 3 KSB Gemeinhardt(normally my camping flute) for the next 3 weeks ... Wouldn't it funny if he thought I sounded better on it than my Haynes ... LOL Reminds me of the day my new Powell came in the mail, and I test played that and my beat up Yamaha 925 ...

I agree, I find spammers to be very annoying. Why do they have to clutter up our flute forum and our mailboxes with junk?

The Sheridan and Williams were very close and either of them would have been fine. The finish on the Sheridan was actually better (it had a mirror finish inside the bo...

I have three 14K headjoints in the house to try for the next 4 days. Have eliminated the Goosman. That leaves the Dana Sheridan and the David Williams. They sound almost the same to me (much better and louder than the headjoint that came with my thinwall (.014") Haynes flute that I purchased back in...

1968 - 1974, stopped playing for 15 years,
then started up again in 1989 - present.

Gee Wiz, I must be the old lady of the group at 50.

1) What is your current association with the flute? (prof, hobby, band student, teacher, etc) Principal Flute in the Diablo Valley Philharmonic (college based community orchestra). Have hosted "Flute Fests" at my house where friends of mine play Flute Choir music (I have an Alto, and friends have Al...

Hi,

I am new here (my first post)

Does anyone know of other flute forums/message boards?

I tried to use Larry Krantz's pages but find the Listserv troublesome to work with.
