John Keane performing on a JFlutes walking stick Native American flute in an acoustically "wet" industrial setting. There is a great reaction from the birds just beyond the window. May every morning be a great one for you!
Thanks y'all! The flute (when touching the floor) comes up to my chest. The finger holes are the same distance apart as a regular "a" minor flute because the part of the flute that actually plays is only as long as a regular flute. Most of the flute from the bottom up is actually solid wood because it really is a walking stick. It IS a tad "bottom heavy" due to that quirk, but it plays really well.
Thank you, Lexie! I've been meaning to play in that room for months and finally got around to it. As for the walking stick flute, Karen and I each received one of these "a" minor flutes as gifts after playing at Sunwatch Village in Ohio (it's an ancient Native American village and museum). The maker of JFlutes was there and gifted these flutes to us and we will always treasure them. They play REALLY well.
John, that was fantastic, you really demonstrated techniques which I would like to learn.
Really enjoy finding interesting place to play for change of acustics and you reminded me of a place to go which I haven't tried yet. I really like your walking stick.
Thanks Louis! Welcome back!
Thanks Helen! I appreciate you checkin' it out!
Thanks Ken!
Love the sound, John.

Hi John
That was impressive. I bet it takes some big hands with long fingers , to play the Walking Stick.
Congratulations on your gifts. I am 100% sure you y'all were deserving, but holy cow, gee whiz, you sure are fortunate.
Beautiful! How long is that flute?

Thanks Dusty! The acoustics in that little vestibule are quite amazing.
Who needs reverb when you have those bricks? Nice playing, John. That sounds great.
