That was informative and interesting, and will encourage me to look at other videos by Ensemble Molière :-) But seriously, it was! I am thinking of taking up the baroque flute, and this helped a lot. Many thanks.

Glad to hear you enjoyed this video! We have some play-along videos if you're thinking to start the baroque flute.

@ So you do! Excellent, though it will be some time before I can play to that standard, but they give me something to aim for. Many thanks.

Just switching from recorder to traverso, these days Not easy task (OFC)

[@mantistoboggan2676]

I did the same about a year ago its real fun. And getting better on traverso has made recorder easier.

@@mantistoboggan2676 Good for you! I am still struggling with my DIY traverso learning :( Besides: LOVE your nick' - my very favourite insect :)

[@mantistoboggan2676]

@@baroquer haha thanks. Btw aulos has a plastic traverso I think is very good. I think I got mine under $300.

I have a Modern Flute that sounds like a Baroque Flute cause it has a Pyramidal (Square Conical) Bore.

[@danyelnicholas]

Very difficult to assess the playing, as the actual tone of the flute is quite drowned out by excessive reverb.

Baroque Flute?.........Maybe you should get it fixed.
