Steven Cox performance bamboo flute info request

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I am clearly a clueless newbee and very much appreciate your willingness to share your experience with me.

OK, here's the deal. Right now, you're thinking "I need a flute," as in "one flute." One flute, you think, is going to solve all your flute needs.

(Quote snipped for brevity. -- Daryl)

You're not going to get a world-class flute for $100, but your $100 can get you a fantastic bamboo, or a fantastic Tipple, or goodness only knows what else, which you can use even after you advance into bigger and better flutes.

So, my advice to you is to accept this. Accept that FlOAD is inevitable and the best you can hope for is a modicum of control.

Peggy,

You nailed it! Nicely said.

I think people should face reality squarely on.

But, would you believe that in person I'm unspeakably shy?

Funny thing, reality!

Becoming virtually extinct, isn't it?

His bamboo flutes really are superb. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They look like a bamboo flute but play like a wooden flute.

I have not yet found a good wooden flute that plays like a good bamboo flute. Thanks.

I love bamboo flutes, great and powerful sound. Try the zen house bansuri, a very good flute
with a beautiful finish. The head has a wedge like thing, but the third hole is so far ...
i buy it for 15$ on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... RK:MEWA:IT
Tis is the complete set.

At this price, no risk, and i trust you'll love this bamboo flute
