Listening to all these really fine players play I was impressed that they all sounded good no matter what they were playing upon.

My wife Jeane has been listening to me play the flute nearly everyday for the last 22 years or more. She thinks I sound the best on gold but that the other metals have different qualities.

I always play the flute with the head-joint which comes on it.

Each time I come home form a tour I get several of my flutes out and play them.

The reason I play studies is to brush up my technique and style after a tour.

I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.
