I know, you are saying "This sure as hell is not one of Wright's usual diatribes on the nature of milkweed". You are right.
We have this flute and it is a beautiful sight to be hold. However, presently it will take a magician to play it---even though it is improving. I thought I might hook up an antique engine to it!
What we did is go on the good old Internet that Al Gore invented to see if we could find a solution to our musical problems. We received a ton of information from around the world and as a result tried a number of manipulations that might bring discovery to the problem---like sucking on the flute to find leaks. Your saying, "That sucks." Hey that is the way to see if it leaks, but it doesn't leak.
The web site shiff and fipple proved filled with flute loving folks who wanted everything from descriptions to photographs---the last one I couldn't provide so in an act of desperation, I am referring them to this site to see the flute.
So here is a set of flute pictures taken after Ann was able to force out Cooley's Reel only a few minutes ago. Still is a lot of work. It seems that the plug on the end can be moved about and by moving it more toward the end it started to improve. In this shot the end is rather pulled out and not in a normal position---just messing around. The picture of the barrel portion is not here because it is boring and it is in perfect condition---unlike me with artificial joints and cortisone injections. I am still beautiful.
What I am hoping is that in a few days we will have The Musical Priest and Morpath's Rant, even though I am still concerned she will pass out trying to play to speed. But, you know, she has to toughen up if she wants to drink Central Waters beer and play tunes.
