Did anyone here watch American Pie? I thought the benefit of this instrument is clear from that movie.
Isn't she using a "flûte traversière" in that movie (not sure of the English name, "sideways flute"?).
Possible, don't remember exactly. But the principle should be the same, right?
Yes yes, though I always imagined she had to take it apart because the parts you finger would definitely be a no-go.
The parts you finger can't easily be removed.
Oh you meant the flute, not the girl.
I'm glad someone took my bait 😜
That is a flute. This is a recorder. It's just not the same putting it up there.
A recorder is a variety of flute known as a "fipple." But your point stands, some love to have a little fipple, while other's don't.
