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. Bill Hello everyone, Thanks for checking out our website and finding your way to my blog. From time to time, I might issue epistles, post photos or tell you about upcoming dates for me, Beth, the flute studio, any other organization or important flute events. Please feel free to ask questions or make comments regarding flute and music. If I don't know the answer, I will try to provide some direction. Have a wonderful July 4th! Bill |
