Yes, there are many reasons why the 9 players in the photo are playing left handed and it could be a flook.

Flook...whistler...Brian Finnegan...right handed...

Congratulations! That must be a great feeling, Dale. Just one note of caution, though. A school psychologist?! Doesn't that trigger some alarms?

That "Messages from Earth" CD in the foreground is a nice touch. I wonder if it shouldn't have been an 8 track tape instead?

Ah, what am I thinking?! I suppose that as long as there's a full set of directions enclosed, everything should be fine.

It's likely squeaking on the D because one of your fingers is uncovering a hole. Just practice a bit more, going up and down the scale, and those squeaks will vanish as your fingers get comfortable finding their spots.

A classic songwriter. Last week I was pleased to hear my daughter's high school choir sing Watching the Apples Grow. Neat music.

You'll like the Bb, I bet. Tuaz's description of a woody tone, in tune, and nice volume is spot on. I can find only one flaw with mine: the high Bb (at the top of the second octave) doesn't sound right. I can't seem to find any alternate fingering to nail that note, but considering the sweet sound o...

James, it's been a couple of years since I played this song, but I remember it being in A. It's a nice whistle intro, easy on an A. How about if you start on the middle C# note on your Sweetone D? You won't run out of notes in those octaves, although you'll need to do a fair amount of quick half-hol...

This article confirms that some high notes are special, beyond those found on regular fingering charts. You might find those fingerings by trial and error, or in a special chart. I remember one chart in a book of Dexter Gordon's music that had some notes in the stratosphere. It took me a long time t...
