Flute Playing and Health?

Adding to Nanohedron’s tale of using his flute as a “peanut” shooter, we were celebrating a fellow flute player’s 60th birthday with a house session. When the birthday cake came out loaded with candles alight (plenty, but not 60) he covered all the tone holes and the embouchure of his flute with his mouth, took a deep breath and…yep, he blew them all out, much to the amazement of all present.
