"What do you think of this verse, from the New Testament, which you profess to believe:
1st Timothy 5:8- But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (Vogadon)...it's okay - but I'd add "try to"; as I've said in both verse and prose , safety nets are a good thing.

Tootler - yes, indeed: as the transverse flute has also been known as the German flute for centuries, so too the recorder as the English flute; and, although we very rarely see them in orchestras, apparently classical musicians still tend to use the latter name.
