I don't see a lot of recorder players in pubs around Edinburgh - me and Malcolm Rutter, that's about it. (Finlay Macdonald plays it brilliantly but I'm not sure how often he does it in public). A few years ago it was common for flute players to carry a recorder around as well but not many do that now.

If we're operating in the capitalist value system, it ought to be the players who incite the most drinking who have the most rights.
