The reed hasn't been a problem. But my cheeks!! Oooo boy! If I don't play regularly, they will hurt bad when I first pick it up again.

By the way, did you know you can get flavored reeds now? I was going to buy some until the salesman at the store told me that they had received a shipment of flavored reeds and found every single one of them to be mildewed!! Ewwww!! I'm stickin' with my plain ole' bamboo taste.

Yeah, I imagine the cheeks hurt. I had forgotten about that.
I was looking for a picture of me practicing, but I didn't have that one on my computer. My sister is playing the flute. I think we were practicing for UIL.

Better?

I can't do a Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson) impersonation without a flute, now, can I?

Ya just never know what I'll be getting into. I don't expect to become really good at it, but if I can just knock out a couple of tunes, I think it will be really cool!!
