This is the Cyprian flute I received after discussions with Yiannis Christidis and Yiannis Colakides in Limassol; it was ordered from Nicosia, and arrived three days ago. A better image I think is below; it came with a soft case and fingering chart. There are online examples of traditional players. It's a fipple flute, which means there's less control over volume. It goes over three octaves which is amazing, and seems to weigh about as much as a euro. For me this is an inversion of my avatar work; not only does it return to the idea of care and the body, but also it brings history and place into play; it seems to be native to Cyprus, not a Greek import. Have a listen if you have a chance. - and again, thanks to Helene, Yiannis, and Yiannis in Limassol, and Furtherfield for making all of this possible. -

Translation of the receipt - "I have received from Mr. Irineos Koullouras from Limassol the amount of 60 euros for the sale of an adroit classic pithkiavlin, tuned in C tonal, at 15 oC, of 6,1cm diameter." Note that temperature; the maker also asked for the general humidity. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
