Perhaps I'm just tired as it's almost 2am (and NO, I'm not Phil, Jim, nor PeterK!) however I have recently made eye-contact with the flutes around the house and it is starting to make me sick to my stomach. I had an 'A.D.D' moment the other day and was going to pound on the piano but I left some flutes on it (eBay things that don't have cases and I can't box because of possible Q & A stuff) and I think I have about 12 of the almost-dreadful things in the house right now. I've been thinking of abandoning them inside my car (with the Orpheo on the driver's seat, of course, and leaving the Pearl here at the house) somewhere around the beach with the doors unlocked and posting a 'FREE CRACK' sign on all of the windows to see what will happen. Curiosity is lurking though and I'm thinking that one of two things will happen. The first thing would be that, when I return to check the car, & all of the flutes (and my cd player in the car) will be missing. The second prediction revolves around the joke of a bassoon/accordian, etc. where someone leaves one of them in the car with door unlocked to find MORE of them! I'm hoping, though, if this plan is carried out, that at least someone drops off their unwanted Haynes, Muramatsu, Pearl Maesta, and similar model flutes. Ok, seriously time for sleep now. This post should be interesting! =) -Suzie

You are such a goof!! You made me laugh though!

I guess I don't have that problem because I don't have flutes laying around. I am some what of a clean freak and organization freak. I wouldn't trust laying out any of my flutes anyway because of my cats. They get into everything! I can't stand a dirty flute. All my flutes are perfect and I mean PERFECT! No tarnish, dirt etc.. Yeah.. I guess you could say that I have ECD with that. When ever I see someone with a really dirty flute I want so bad to take it and clean and shine to look new and pretty again. I love doing that. I am a dork that way.

If you ever do that, please let me know in advance, I could help you in getting rid of that (temporarily) unwanted stuff...

An "organization freak" maybe, but certainly not a grammar freak. It's lying around.

Hmm,
You need flute cases my friend.
It sounds like your flutes are propagating while you aren't watching. This is why we have cases for ours. If putting the flutes into cases doesn't stop them, then we put the flutes that are inside of the cases into "case covers" and we zip the covers up tight.

But above all, don't practice the Syrinx or La Flute de Pan too many times daily. It gives the flutes that you aren't using at the time ideas.

Perhaps you are wrong. In the unlikely event that the writer intended to convey in the vernacular that the flutes were propagating, then the grammar is OK. It certainly seems to me that they were! :-)

Thanks for writing and for trying to judge my grammar. I apologize for not being an English major (nor did I major in anything) however some folks feel the need to add their 1/2-cent worth at times. Thanks! Do you feel better about yourself now? Do you need a hug? Here-- here's a flute for you! Better now? Good! Now, go play! Anyhow, the reason that the flutes aren't in cases is due to the fact that the uncased flutes don't have cases and are being sold as-is (without cases, for those of you who may misunderstand). The cased flutes, however, feel the need to mingle over (I'm not quite sure just HOW they do it) to the piano and socialize with the case-less flutes. They MUST have good taste though as they flock to the piano yet leave the old Buffet wooden clarinet alone. *pats all of the flutes* Good flutes. Very good flutes. (I do this with my bunnies and they lay their heads down! LOL) Does anyone think that drowning the flutes would work? Ooh! Great idea for a YT video! 'Burning of the Flute'! Douse an old junker in some sort of flammable liquid, torch 'er up, take a video, and see what happens! I have my friend's Harmony flute around and I don't think she'll mind if I torch it. *evil laugh* Actually, I'd MUCH rather torch a Bundy or professional Simba or something. Yes, the Simba part was meant as a joke. RELAX. The fire, on the other-hand, sounds tempting. If only we didn't have rain on the forecast for today. Darn!

If you need to torch flutes, there are a whole bunch of Chinese flutes of poor quality on ebay that need to be torched. They come in some facinating colors.

Also, Scotch-- how many flutes have you seen move on their own? Zero, you say? Therefore it IS 'lying' as there is NO movement being done by said flutes. Had the flutes (as a slight variation of one of the examples in the link provided by Micron) been "engaging in 'flute-ual' *excluding word purposely* intercourse together on the piano", then it would be 'laying' and NOT 'lying'. Bravo, my friend... Bravo. Also, I don't know you, so I take the last few words back. BAD! *bops you* BAD! Now go lay down!

Vampav8trix, I'll be lurking out there-- searching for the highest quality neon pink and white Xinghai or Simba I can find. It may take a while but victory will, eventually, be mine and a very sad, poorly-made flute will be significantly reduced to unrecognizable remains. I'm thinking a white junker would show the evidence of the fire the best however maybe something like this will do: http://cgi.ebay.com/Artley-USA-18-0-Flute-in-Case-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ360009647323QQihZ023QQcategoryZ10183QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Whoa! Hold on there! Let's not get overly zealous. Some of us poor starting flutists need some old used flutes made by companies that are somewhat reputable. Try not to burn up all the old starter flutes. After all, some parents are not going to plop out 1500+ dollars for an instrument the kid might not play for more than a week.

Simmer down now.

It will be okay.

You are very rude and obnoxious! I have made it clear several times that I suck at grammar and do try. It is people like you that have tried to make me feel less of a person by cutting me down for spelling errors. Did you know that Sir James makes typos sometimes too? Are you going to go correct him and insult him too? I am tired of seeing your rude comments. Keep them to yourself. So I bet you feel like such a better person. If you don't have anything nice to contribute to this forum then please leave.

There are people on this forum that do not have English as their first language... I think that the important part is to get the message through.

HOWEVER, I do have an address (my home address) where I am sure that your flutes would love it and they would also be very very far from you... :P

I hope you get over your one-day phobia. xx

Screw the grammar, I just want a spell checker! Is that too much to ask? Yes, I know I can simply put my message in a word processor, but it's just an extra step and I usually have 8,000 programs open already, taxing my computer's resources.
