... My past includes alto saxophone and flute, so I've been searching for a direction to go with that. Have tried tin whistle and recorder, but they didn't resonate (pun intended) with me. The NAF seems to be peaking my interest...
It's good you're finding an outlet for that interest in these flutes. My earliest formal training was with trumpet; but I never seem to circle back to that...
Yeah, I didn't want to do the band instruments again, but was searching for something more "personal". I think I found it. Nice thing is, the dulcimer crowd is going in this direction, so there are workshops for them at the dulcimer events I attend. Plus, my sister has gotten into it too. So, when we get together, we get to play together.
Well, that's nice that you and your sister can enjoy it together. I've had a few folks around my houses in Texas suggest that we start playing guitar together; but being on the road so much it doesn't materialize... My brother is reluctant to play guitar with me as well; not sure if he thinks his skill level hasn't progressed enough yet or what...? He just says, "I only play for my own enjoyment." I suppose my ribbing him for never having learned a song in its entirety doesn't help either, though...
