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"?).

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Possible, don't remember exactly. But the principle should be the same, right?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes yes, though I always imagined she had to take it apart because the parts you finger would definitely be a no-go.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The parts you finger can't easily be removed.

Oh you meant the flute, not the girl.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
