Re: Question about the use of the word flutist

 

If you play a flute, you're a flutist.? Nobody is saying you're a professional, or even a very good flute player.? It's not a judgment call, it's just a fact.? That's a flute, you play it, therefore you're a flutist.? If you live in Britain (I know you don't, but if you did), you'd be a flautist.

I had a question regarding the word flutist. If someone plays the flute, regardless if it is professional or not, is it proper to use this word? I once did that with someone over the phone, and they got all hot and bothered, telling me to stop referring to myself as a flutist because I do not play professionally.
