Hi Leonard. What types of flutes do you make? I have a couple of the concert flutes, a Jupiter flute, and my main flute, which is an MIO. They neat. I also have an ocarina, but it's a very oddly shaped one. It looks something like a sweet potato, and has a fipple mouthpiece as well. I also play the recorder. I have been playing the flute for 22 years do you still make flutes, or did you have to retire? I also have a set of panpipes. I don't play the ocarina or the panpipes as much as my flutes and my recorders. It's very interesting how many members of the Flute family they're actually are. There are so many members of the Flute family, that I can't even begin to count them all, let alone pronounce them. Some of them are unpronounceable.?

??? Hi Amanda,
??? No, this is just the sheet music.? They are little pieces,
but very challenging and very interesting, if I say so myself!? I
started having physical problems a few years ago, which forced me
to retire from professional playing.? I'm still hoping that I
might be able to regain a level of playing ability that would
allow me to record these pieces myself, but that has yet to be
seen.
??? Of course, I would love to hear other players perform or
record these, too.? I've been a flutist and a flute maker for many
years, but the composing is quite a new thing in the scheme of
things!
??? Best to you,
??? Lenny

Hi Leonard. Are they available in an audio format? Can you
download them for free? Just asking. I can't read music at all,
and braille music is really hard. I am wondering if I can find
these on YouTube and listen to them. I've been playing the flute
for 22 years, and I learned everything by ear. I'm mostly self
taught, but I did take lessons, from the same woman that taught me
piano for 15 years.?

Hello Flutenet friends,
As some of you know, particularly those of you who are my
Facebook friends, I have composed four etudes for flute.? I
now have them available to purchase (PDF download) at??and?.
If you like these, stay tuned!? I have more in the works
which should be out before too much longer.
Thanks everyone, and happy 2024!
