that's a beautiful picture, cyberflute! Nice website too. It has a lot more on it than a lot of others I've visited.

I'm moving to Nova Scotia from Maine in a few weeks! Its kinda exciting, although I will really miss my flute teacher here. Does anyone know of good teachers up there?

I'm also going to the junior session of Kinhaven Music School in Weston Vermont.

My pictures are taken without flash, but with a very slow shutter speed. No fingerprints show up either ~.^ Fluteguy - what kind of flute is yours? Do you think those anti tarnish strips really work? I had one for awhile but someone at Brannen Brothers threw it away when I was trying out head joints...

I started out with one of those...It was perfectly dreadful. Even with the curved head, it was still too long for me...lol

I recently took a long break from flute, because of hand troubles, and now that I am playing again, I find that my embouchure has gotten tighter than it used to be.
