Hi All,

Thanks for the advice and the links!

I do want to play traditional style but I'd also like some versitility so I can play different styles on the same flute. I was quite impressed with it for a beginner flute when I played it but will go back and try it out again with your advice in mind.

One of the things I keep in mind is that I occasionally accompany singers who have a tendancy to sing in odd keys so it's harder to accompany them - and the classical flute i have (although lovely) has the wrong tone for the songs! I've played them on a keyless wooden flute but have an interesting time with some of the half notes - and it was borrowed!

Anyway - thanks again - and anything more appreciated!

Charlie
