glissando flute


"Other flutist" Robert Dick's invention, now further graced by the Brennan design ingenuity.  A head-joint that stops a little short of combining a trombine and flute. However, there is no end of inventiveness that can be applied to this adaptation of teh standard concert flute.  A brilliant invention whose secrets I will be continuing to discover for many years to come! Please visit,
