1. I had my last orchestra concert of the year today. It was so sad saying goodbye to the woodwind section that has kept me sane these last ten months. :’( Forever honored to be a member of it.

    A majority of what I do as principal piccolo is to sit and look pretty.

    Dear god…. Just because you like the B foot doesn’t mean the entire flute world has to as well.

    I have friends who play with a C foot. I also know some respected professionals who play on C foot flutes. I even know some who play on CLOSED hole flutes. It’s all about preference and style. 

    So maybe you question the existance of C foot flutes, but the fact is that people use them and like them and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM.

    This.

    Why are C footjoints even a thing? 

    Weight and balance…. Some people like the c foot better.

    In the flute world, we don’t say “I love you,” we say “open-hole B foot french arm solid silver C sharp trill key D sharp roller 14k gold riser” which roughly translates to “I’m better than you” and I think that’s just beautiful.
