By now, everyone must know that I play wooden flutes, specifically those made by Chris Abell. I am quite fond of the response, tone color and flexibility, especially in the upper register. The smoothness of the legato is what initially sold me on these instruments. Chris's instruments are exceptionally well-made. He is constantly improving his flutes, but lately, he has made some fantastic head joints.
Wood flutes are still a little on the "fringe", but they are becoming more in vogue. If you have any photos of flutists who are performing on wood, or wish to ask a question or make a comment, please do so.
