Thank you for that.

Great one, Daniel. Thank you for posting.

It sounded beautifully, better than bamboo flute, IMO as you played it.

You did a good job. Ever considering a multi-track, 4 maybe, with all of your instrument together? Must be so nice, I imagine.

You have the advantage of jamming along with yourself, so cool!

Thanks again for posting this, Daniel.

Thanks folks.  You are very kind.  Still getting used to the different embouchure than my wooden flutes and the fingerings, but I'll get there.

 

@ratvn: It would take more than 4 LOL, but yeah, I've been considering it for at least one song someday.  Just to have them all together in one piece as a bit of a show-off number.  Usually I use just two or three instruments at a time when multi-tracking, though. 

The advantage of multi-tracking and jamming along with your own tracks is that you at least get an accompanist that you can get along with that way.  LOL

Very nice job, Dan. I went to my grandaughter's band concert the other night, 'she's been playing flute for two year's now, she informed me she doesn't want to play anymore. My son is a little PO'd about it. I took her aside and asked her to please not give up on it as someday she will look back with regret.

@Fiddlestix: That's rough.  And yeah, I'd agree that especially if she decides she wants to play later in life, she'd probably regret giving up on it.

Daniel i just listened to your recording. not sure how i missed it before. Very nicely done.  I really like the tin flute or penny flute, but this is beyond anything you could get from one of those.

Yes, Mad_Wed!  There is slight reverb, just enough to make it sound like I play in a nice room rather than the corner of my kitchen.  But it was there when I played, not added after. 

I have been making it a point lately to do at least part of my practice on all instruments through my little recording setup, while wearing headphones.  Two main reasons: 

First, so I know what a listener several feet away would hear, which is different than what we usually hear of ourselves as players.  That reminds me to be more aware of my tone while playing, and to keep breathing sounds and etc quiet.

Second, I'm doing it to get more used to playing with headphones on and having to remember where the mic is (I often move around or walk from room to room while playing, normally) so it is not so much of a distraction when I want to record later for my assorted projects

However, it was not "prettied up" after by fixing eq or using noise redux or editing out breathing noises and etc as one might normally do with a "produced" take.  Timing errors, breathing, fumbles and moments of bad tone were left intact.  But it was recorded with a mic a bit better than a typical "computer mic" or webcam microphone, and a touch of reverb to help make up for the acoustics in my kitchen (like most people's kitchens) being pretty awful.  LOL
