IMPORTANT: ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVICE REMINDER/ANNOUNCEMENT....

PLEASE - BE AWARE - and continue to be cautious when online ...because they're at it again.

We've learned that there appears to be yet another rash of *spam/spoof emails* widely appearing in people's inboxes in recent weeks, all across the country emails which have every APPEARANCE of having been sent directly to YOU from someone at any number of reputable, well established, and well known flute-related companies BUT INSTEAD they are actually spoofs and pure spam, some asking or directing you to look at what turn out to be very dangerous attachments, -- and all of this is. simply put: "mischief that's hiding itself in flute-clothing"!

We've received some of them ourselves as well -- even had emails which claim to originate from "flutenet.com" (which absolutely cannot be the genuine article because, quite simply - it's not logistically possible for us to send anybody an email from "flutenet.com"!) But we're only one of an apparently increasing number of otherwise respectable flute-related names who have been spoofed in emails in recent weeks and odds are, if you have an email inbox, you've gotten a few of these as well

SO THOUGHT A REMINDER ABOUT IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE: Do NOT automatically assume that the listed "sender" of an email is indeed the actual author and "sender" of *any* particular email -- that goes for your own relatives and friends as well as "flute -related companies"!

If there's any doubt -- any doubt at all -- check it out! Ask about it. Let the "sender" know what you received - "in their name" - and ask if it was indeed something they actually did send out... you'll be doing both them and yourself a favor - and defeat the intent of the spammers!

SEARCHING FOR...

Music: Trying to track down a flute and classical guitar duet anthology that was published in a Zen-on edition in the '70's but the piece I am particularly interested in is a SONATA in D (all four movements) by HANDEL - as TRANSCRIBED BY LOUIS MOYSE. The Zen-on edition may have been pirated so it may have been published by Schirmer or someone else. I don't know if the original piece was in D or not. If you know the whereabouts of this elusive piece, please contact Robert Ross at robert_j_ross@q.com.

BASS FLUTES

RUDALL CARTE & CO, Ltd, Rare Hand made bass flute in C, No. 8894, made in the early 1960's. Headjoint solid silver,body probably silverplate over silver. The keywork and mechanism are silver plated. Fewer than 50 of these flutes were made. It is a collector item in mint condition – which plays very well. It has the full 3 octave range, but no trill keys. You can see (in pictures available upon request, and a link to them online will be provided below) the little capped piece on the headjoint for the pickup, it is original. You will also notice a dime on one of the keys - it can be removed - it was added to make the instrument more comfortable for my very small hand. It is time for me to let this one go to someone who will play it. I purchased it in 2005 from a studio player who lived in California. It is a mint collector's piece, best offer (its insurance value is $9K). This beautiful "Rolls Royce" of instruments should suit the Rudall Carte enthusiast as well as the rare flute player/ collector and teacher or sessions player. Comes with original hard case and a custom Callavaro cover case with shoulder strap. You won't be sorry - it is an amazing instrument!!!

    The FLUTISTS FAMILY TREE Project

    The Flutists' Family Tree is a project that traces the lineage, from student to teacher, back through the past 250 years of transverse flute playing. Currently, it links about 1,700 flutists genealogically with their ancestors all the way back through such historical figures as Georges Barrere, Paul Taffanel, Francois Devienne and Michel Blavet. Its aim is to provide connections between musicians, renew relationships between students and teachers, increase awareness of our common history, and provide a starting point for research into the pedagogical traits of important flute teachers.

    This project depends upon the help of the entire flute community, through submission of personal information, private research into the heritage of specific teachers, publicity and funding. It is inclusive of all flutists - regardless of professional musical status or performance ability. Almost 90% of all flutists in the United States today can trace their musical ancestry through William Kincaid - whether they play in the finest orchestras or just started taking lessons!

    To have your information (or that of your teachers and students) included in the Flutists' Family Tree, simply respond with the following information to:

    Flutists' Family Tree,
    c/o Demi Fair,
    808 W. Main St,
    Lansdale, PA 19446
    -- or email: fair.42 @osu.edu.

    Info to send: Name, birth location and date, education (degree obtained, institution, date), primary teacher (this is the teacher you feel has had the most impact upon your playing), other teachers, and contact e-mail or home address for you. Optional information may include performance organizations and college/public school/private teaching, recordings, or any other biographical data you would like to include. This will, no doubt, be edited for content and space considerations in public displays, but the entirety of the information will be available for the purpose of research. If you have any information about your teachers' teachers as well, this would be extremely helpful.

    Feel free to distribute this invitation to other flutists, and plan to attend the next NFA Convention to view the project!



    In the DOUBLER's CORNER...

    The Doubler's Corner is for listings of instruments other than flutes - any and all kinds of instrumental listings are welcome here. Listings in the Doubler's Corner run at the same rates as our regular listings. This opportunity is provided in recognition of the fact that many flute players are, in fact, multi-talented. (...Flute players also have many friends!)
