The lore of pipers

… and the lure of the pipes

Music has bewitched performers and listeners for millenia. Myths of Orpheus’ lyre and the Pied Piper’s flute attest to this power. Perhaps you’ve felt it too?

If you’ve got an interest in world music, flutes, or folk lore, this site’s for you. It’s the pet project of Wisconsin journalist who once studied to become a professional flutist.

Posts will include stories about international flutes and podcasts with players, both amateur and pro.

If you’ve got an idea for a post or a question you’d like answered about flutes, leave a note here.

While the site will not explore the classical flute, it should enrich any classical player’s understanding of the international family of flutes.

Thanks for stopping by!
