I have an Ian Anderson CD that is all instrumental songs, lots of flute stuff. I have not listened to it for awhile but it is pretty good. I think it is called Divinities or something like that.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Catheyesque instrument repair
We did a similar repair on a cheap French Horn we picked up at a school auction ($5.00) that was nearly closed about half way around the outer coil. Kept pulling larger diameter plugs through with heavy weed whacker cord til we got it to an acceptable shape. Some silver solder and a few key pads later, and we had a good student horn.
