bamboo flute

[arethinn]

I have just gotten around to buying the flute I was "told" a few months ago (by randomly getting a certain catalog in the mail not too long after having had that particular business mentioned to me by name by someone who could not have known my mailing address) I was supposed to actually really get around to getting, rather than just sitting about thinking "someday I would like to have a flute". I knew I wanted a lower-voiced instrument, but that I couldn't purchase one of the very lowest few keys (Bb below middle C - C#) because they were likely to be too large for my hands. I messed about with some Java pianos for a while trying to get a sense of what the various keys would sound like (for while I can read and play music, generally, I can't conjure up the tones in my head by hertz). Somewhere between D and F ("concert voice"), then. Unable to decide further I thought that pulling a rune might work well, since they can also be read just as letters, so I did that and got dagaz, or D, the meaning of which rune has other relevant positive meanings. Key of D it was, then. Filling out the order form, I see that with the postage, the total comes to $42.00. Hail Douglas! Also: name of flute seller = Woodsong Instruments, so more good stuff there.
