Oh come on guys. Not everyone is an elite flutist.

A lot of people in Elementry and High School are in the band for social reasons.

At least the thing is on elastic and will not permanently damage the flute or the sound of the flute.

I think it is a creative and artistic person who made that little doo dad and they are not destined to be a flute player. Maybe they will be the next Van Gogh.

Let people have a little fun.

At least they aren't trying to put it on your flute!

Have a good one.

Sounds like you went a little extreme with the flute at times.

I would let my kid put an elastic doo dad on her flute.

I wouldn't let her put paint, tape or anything else that could seriously hurt the flute.

Not everyone loves there flute the same way. The person that made that probably loves there flute and wants to give it a little bling.

I wouldn't do it. But then again, I am an old lady.

I can appreciate the creativity. That person is an artist.

there= their

I really should read these things when I am typing. I should also engage the brain before hitting post.

Oh well

LOL

i used to wrap blue electrical tape around my tenon and headjoint back when i wasin marching band. it had a purpose: to keep the headjoint from flying out.

at least royal blue was one of our school colors...

I see we share a Gemeinhardt M2 in our pasts...

I still have mine (i.e I studied on it until May last year and give her a cuddle now and then). It could be considered a vintage baby though she is at least 30 years old.

I suppose you mean "going (to) bed" or was it actually going bad?

If I had to practise before going to bed I guess my neighbours would get me out of here with the police and the psychiatrist...

Well the skull kind of creeps me out, but I am not much into skulls I suppose. I have seen worse things I suppose. There are some pretty funny things on ebay. And even I get made fun of because of the gemstone crowns I make. Well, that was only two people, one was a mean crabby old man and the other one was our lovely troll, who is finally gone for good I hope.

i spose if you want a unique flute you could put that on it or get a stick on jewel and put it on the crown (or you could get a real jeweled crown), i know a little girl who is learning flute and to make it interesting she put stickers on her flute and case

<Added>



your teacher actually told you to practice before bed??
mine just said to keep practising regulary (even if it was to play thought the scales and peices quickly after school)
