Sometimes a flute is just a flute you know.

Yes but is a dream flute a flute?
Can you pick up and play your dream flute right now? Hmm?
See?
:smiley:

Don’t talk to me about dreams…I’ve written a few of my best songs when I’ve eaten cheese and had odd dreams! Once, I even dreamed what key the new song was in, where the capo was on my guitar, and what accompaniment I played on flute. (I now sleep with a pen and paper on my bedside cabinet!..just incase.)

…I find goats’ cheese works best… :smiley:

Cass.

Chick peas only 90% cooked work pretty good too.

Hmmmm! I’ll have to try that one!

Cass. :slight_smile:

A quick aside that I much like your bamboo flute playing.
On the CD you linke to, I mean.

No, but I need not sleep perchance to dream… ay, there’s the rub.

I have to actually climb a mountain to do it.

-Flute I have: Casey Burns blackwood with silver rings & tuning slide, slight hole offsets.

-None on order

-Dream Flute: Rudall-style, undecided on maker, keys, or hole size. Prefer blackwoood. May never decide as its a dream instrument.

-I live near a noisy dog day care and might want an ultrasonic key installed to hush’em on occasion. Otherwise I kind of enjoy their garrolous barkishness.

I have a high G antique whistle made by BS Dulcet, might just do the trick… :smiling_imp:

I own a lefty 6-key Murray. After I get some of the keys adjusted, it will be a dream flute. Or, more of a dreamy flute.

I have a low A McGee with some nifty bells and whistles on order. I plan on using my wrists to play them, much as a piper would a set of regulators.

My dream flute(in regards to Irish flute, don’t get me started on bansuri or quena) I more or less own… a 6 key Hawkes copy by Paddy Ward. Debating on getting another footjoint made, so it would be an 8 key…just can’t figure out if the 1k is worth it just to get a low C. I do sort of have another dream flute…an 8 key Grinter or McGee in Bb.

Flutes I own(ed):

-Dixon polymer flute
-Gemeinhardt w/solid silver headjoing and B foot

-Pakastani flute that looks really cool but serves no purpose but to look really cool. Actually it doesn’t really look that cool.
-Hariprasad Chaurasia Bansuri made by Jeff Whittier
-Tipple D (now en route to California)

Dream Flute:
-Six Key Olwell in Blackwood
-Fujara (if you don’t know what a Fujara is, click here
