I love this lady’s playing and her sense of humor.

I was 11 almost 12 when I started playing the flute and I love everything about being a flutist!

[@martinauza2502]

Its so nice to listen to you again Ms Asin! Thanks for all!

[@briananderson8428]

Wow! As a former waaaaaay amateur flute & piccolo player, this was delightful. Yes: the flute offers a hovering sheen to the orchestra in a way only the violins can also do, which is why the two are so complementary. Also, the flute feels often like the soprano voice. Great interview!

I love you Nadine ❤❤❤

[@eastmarvista3267]

Great explanation of the flute/piccolo!

[@caterscarrots3407]

Right before she talked about why she started playing the flute, was that a bass flute she was playing?

[@bluejay7058]

Nope! No curved headjoint, plus that would be the standard position in orchestra for the *alto* flute, in G.

[@caterscarrots3407]

BlueJay I thought the alto flute had a curved headjoint and that the headjoint of a bass flute is straight just like that of a concert flute.

[@bluejay7058]

Alto flutes have the option of a straight or curved (that one happened to be straight). Bass flutes are *exclusively* curved headjoints (you wouldn't be able to play one otherwise)

[@kiaraeijo]

No, that’s an alto flute with a straight headjoint.

Ami me dan lastima que mal toca el piccolo y el otro la flauta deberían de trabajar en otra cosa.
