Who are you and where are you? I was thinking that it might be a cool idea to make up a list of who and where and what you play and how long. If nothing else, this could be a handy resource for people who are looking for a new flute to locate one by the maker to try out. On the other hand, we could end up finding people to play with that we didn’t know even existed.
I’ll start out.

About half of another Varvel D bubinga #2 was a fife I sent to the fellow in Saudi Arabia who sold my wife the “African rosewood” (bubinga) I’m currently making flutes from.
Yeah, in what passes for spare time, I’m trying to learn to make flutes.
