Luckily even in grade school if I wanted to play a flute I'd play a
goddam flute with no remarks from the peanut gallery. I put it aside
for decades, preferring stringed instruments, but an interest in tin
whistle for Irish tunes led my to Irish flutes (wooden simple-system)
and eventually to a Boehm system again.

Love the sound of the flute as an instrument (from classical to your
Thijs van Leers,) but I never could get the hang of the embouchure.
Still need a lot of practice on breath control and fingering with the
recorder, but it saves me the trouble of having to deal with that ;)
