I actually never liked flutes, espacially recoders. I just don't like their sound. Sorry, Alorael, but that's how it is. that's why i hardly give them anything to play in my compositions. there are only three instruments i really, really like: Trombone (of course), Horn and bassoon.

I play the piano, and I like Brahms most. Bach after that, and I'd dearly like to learn some pieces by Rachmaninoff but until now I have only heard him on CDs. I linked to my incomplete Intermezzo only recently, so I don't need to post that again. :)

I've never heard of a song flute and I can't find it on Google. A voice flute is a type of recorder, but it isn't very common. Most music I've seen written for voice flute ends up played on alto or tenor recorder because nobody has a voice flute.

Have you ever heard recorder played well, Thralni? (This is a serious question. People in Europe often have. People in America haven't.) I can understand not liking a particular instrument, though.

[Edit: Sig changed.]

—Alorael, who has found some nice recordings freely and legally available. Michala Petri is a little buried under other instruments sometimes, but the Lento has some clear recorder in it. I've never heard of Drora Bruck before, but she plays beautifully and with a much quieter continuo.

I love play with my electro-piano the song "Imperial" , of Hammerfall. It's strange, because all the music is make by a guitar, but I like it. :o

Yes, I have heard people play the recorder well. I also listened a bit to the songs you gave a link to, and came to the same conclusion as I already had. I just don't like the sound of a recorder. Sometimes I do like flites, but not that often. i don't exactly know what it is I don't like about the recoder's sound. Its mainly, I think, the woody sound. Its hard to describe it proparly.

I assume that there are also instruments you don't like, Alorael?

That's odd. I did.

The tonette, or song flute. For your edification.

Okay, I did now and I'm not exactly sure why I couldn't before. The song flute is a tonette, which is a relatively recently invented instrument designed basically to be cheap to make and easy to play. I think it's between the garklein and the sopranino recorder in size (is it painfully shrill?) and not quite recorder-like in design.

Since I've never played one or heard one played by anyone competent, I'll reserve judgement. Since it's all one piece and presumably plastic, isn't it at least always close to in tune?

—Alorael, who can't think of any intrument that doesn't sound terrible when played en masse by enthusiastic children. Simple woodwinds are probably the best besides things you really can't get wrong because they'll only produce certain notes.
