Rock Band….on Flute?
This isn’t really “news”, but Engadget thought it was. I have written out over a hundred pop songs, a lot of which are on Rock Band. It makes practicing more fun.

How Nagahara Flutes Are Made
This is a great article telling a little of how Nagahara flutes are made using CNC technology.
“The greatest flute players in the world strive for a uniquely personal sound to the way they play their instruments and interpret each piece of music. For this reason, these professionals often choose hand-made instruments that enhance these artistic efforts. Nagahara Flutes is a company that caters to the needs of top-ranking flute players. Its customers include Sir James Galway, Ian Anderson (singer and flute player of Jethro Tull fame) and many leading performers in orchestras worldwide. The individually crafted instruments are produced in silver, gold or platinum.”

Hubert Laws Masterclass
Hello all, thought it would be worthwhile to share this footage of a masterclass by jazz flute maestro Hubert Laws at the Rotterdam Conservatory in the latter half of the last century. The quality is not exactly HD, but it gives a good idea of how things went. The first video is a performance by Hubert himself of Chick Corea’s “Windows”. The next two videos are of a performance of Oliver Nelson’s “Stolen Moments” .
