Addendium to #3.  Avoid tunes with long drawn out notes in whatever note the flute player closes ALL his holes

Rule #3  You've got to make sure your pint isn't under the wrong end of the flute player ;)!

John Skelton (a great flute player) call that "the never-ending pint"!

"Rule #2 Ya'll gotta make sure you sit on the non Saliva Drips end of a Flute player!"

It's not saliva damnit, it's condensation! :-p

Hey, Dick. Guess who is sitting behind the fiddle player.

It's a J&K 16/16 made by Jim Hudson who lives between Detroit and Toledo. He's out of now but I heard somebody in Canada took up the design. It has a huge range of tones but it's flighty in the tuning department. I thought of a 21/21 but would need a road map or GPS to find the key of D.

Rule #1 for successful Trad playing.  Ya'll gotta make sure you sit on the non pointy end of a fiddle player
