Hello everyone. Just found this forum today and after seeing it is an active one decided to join it. I've been on several forums before but left once posts started only occurring every couple months or so. So, hopefully this one's a little better than those.
As to myself, I am a self-taught flutist of only 2 years experience, but am currently in my freshman year at Jacksonville University receiving private lessons and playing in their Wind Ensemble. I absolutely love the flute though, and even though I'm not planning on a career in it (I'm studying engineering now), I will certainly continue to play it and get better at it. So that's enough about me. I'm sure I'll have great fun discussing all things flutes with y'all.

Welcome to the board. There are several flutists on the board, so it's pretty active. I'm learning the violin (<1 year since I started), and am receiving private lessons as well, so it's great to meet people that have started playing fairly recently.

I guess you're a Tolkien fan, too

Yep, sure am. You've got to be a pretty serious one yourself to know where Glorfindel comes from, right?

Yep, especially since they replaced him with Arwen in the movie when they were taking Frodo to Rivendell

Welcome to the VSM forums, glorfindel!! I'm kind of teaching myself to play flute, only started a couple weeks ago and somehow I lost my crown so I was told I shouldn't play anymore until I get another one. I'm trying to find one now but am not having much luck.
I hope you enjoy it here, sometimes though, we can get a little crazy!!!

You rang?
I prefer the term "discussion".

Welcome

Sorry, discussions are boring. And no, I didn't ring. You must be hearing things.

I'd like to have a pic of Mr. Incredible strangling one of those smiley face similies. Of course it may upset the children.

Do it. all I'd say is : "Look at Mr. Incredible, Is he Thomthing."
