That's my point Ash...some fans (who know nothing about the flute playing) would think she is doing so, (attacking Ian), b*****s, ...……..but she is just being honest. I think the video is more than a piece of fun and take it she is taking it seriously, I'm surprised you don't, or are you talking about the fans...... A classically trained flautist could not have played "Bouree" like Ian played it on the "Stand Up " album, but he did...……..and so we love it.. Ian's flute playing back then was unique, but the average Tull fan , 99% didn't even hear the flute..... I must have been the 1%. I went out and got myself a flute within a year of first hearing Tull. So did I, in 1971 when I was 16. It's a Buescher Aristocrat, and still plays lovely to this day, I had the pads renewed once since I got it, my daughter learned to play on it too..

Not because they died but I was always looking to upgrade to a better made flute. When I look at the cost of my Altus 907 when I got it and the present price there is no way I can afford to upgrade again, not that I want to.

I bought a flute from ebay a while ago, it's a Yamaha YFL-221, still in the student range of flutes but in lovely condition, it was bought for a student in the USA by her dad and when she stopped playing they sold it, it still has the original receipt ($730) on it. I think I payed £300 if my memory serves. The flute is a lovely piece of engineering and looks cool just when it's lying on the table.

Very easy blowing.

That's a serious question by the way....

Marginally off topic but a very useful article, with music, for budding guitarist and flautists. Learn to Play J.S. Bach’s ‘Bourrée in E Minor’ for GuitarMAY 17, 2020 by Teja Gerken For many classical-guitar students, tackling the “Bourrée in E minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) is a rite of passage from playing mere exercises to playing music that many non-musicians will recognize and appreciate. Bach wrote the Bourrée sometime after 1712 (the exact date is unknown) as part of his Lute Suite No. 1, and it was adapted for guitar in the 20th century, after the instrument earned acceptance in classical circles. Andrés Segovia recorded a version of it in 1947. Since then, the piece has made its way onto countless classical guitar recordings, and it has a firm place in the repertoire. Classical guitarists aren’t the only ones to cut their teeth on the Bourrée. British rockers Jethro Tull included a jazzed-up band version on their 1969 album Stand Up. Their decidedly nonclassical performance provided the blueprint for an arrangement often performed live (but never officially released) by Michael Hedges—playing flute!—and electric bass virtuoso Michael Manring. link

It never really worked with me playing it on flute with him, but we tried

That's a serious question by the way.... Yes I have the open hole version. It's does take a while to get used to it but I wouldn't go back. If you buy one there is always the option of putting in plugs if you have problem with any key. It's great for bending notes and many say it improves playing and sound (can of worms that one on the sound). You can hear Ian bending notes on a number of songs. A good example would be Griminelli's Lament

As I'm sure most of us Tull fans know, Ian was inspired by Roland Kirk when it comes to flute sound and technique. By that I mean mostly singing into the flute. In the "popular" world of information Roland Kirk is accredited with inventing this singing while playing technique. As with many things in life the true inventors get passed by . The man who invented this is Sam Most and Roland Kirk made this popular at a later date. So hats off to Sam for inspiring many flute players such as Roland Kirk,Herbie,Hubert Laws and others. Without Sam would we have Ian as he is today? Frank Sinatra presented Sam with an expensive hand made wooden flute as a gift and said, “I know you’d appreciate this Sam – it’s yours.”
