 Re: Why I like flute.... no freaking reeds...

Yes, no reeds make the flute easy, BUT...
from an orchestral point of view--flute parts often require FAR more ink to print than oboe parts...much more black on the page. I'm a former flutist myself, and still noodle around if needed. But--At orchestra rehearsal, sitting there with my oboe, I often look over at the principal flute's parts (she sits just to my right) and quip "I'm sure glad I'm NOT playing flute!"

Oboefully,
Deb
