Oh....I thought you called that a Flute. I have had lessons for that when I was 7, and I hated it so much. :lol:

We call it "Blokfluit" in dutch, which is something like "Blockflute" =)
Anyway, you're pretty much into instruments I see. I always was amazed by people that could play more instruments then one.

In Hong Kong, all the students must learn recorder (taught in music lesson, from primary school).
It was originally a good thing, but since the techniques that the school teaches are so little (just all very basic things), this makes students think recorder is just a simple instrument. The status of recorder is very low.

But I just learned that myself (I can't tolerate what the school taught -- too slow and too simple)
-- all the notes (with # and b) in the two and a half octaves.

Indeed, learning instrument in HK is very popular. A lot of HK people learn piano, I have heard (and read) that the number of people who take piano exam is much highest than any other countries, nearly all the examiners are in HK. Parents want (somehow "force") children to learn instruments to compete better when entering primary school or secondary school.

I understand. I was only forced to play recorder for a half year by my mother, but she quickly gave up, because she saw what horror it was too me. After that I hadn't been bothered with learning any other instrument, until last year our neighbours bought guitars and they convinced us of doing that too. My father has played acoustic guitar now and then since he was a teenager, so that's why he bought one. But now it's me who's the most of the time playing on it.

Alright. I sit mostly during lessons so that would suck if I had one like that. I'm hoping to buy me a new electric in the years soon to come, one with humbuckers and a good tremolo, but have no idea about the prices yet.

Simple to change the sound of the drum (mute it.. or how u say) when playing metal they usually tape the drums
... don't know why there are so many on my drum..

Are you by any chance inspired by Dropkick Murphys? Because of the bagpipes.
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?

Well, Dropkick Murphy's is one of my favourite bands, but I wouldn't say that they inspired us. We play more like hard rock/rock. Listen to hardcode superstar, I'd say they inspired at least me. We're going to make the bagpipes comp the guitar and the guitar will comp the bagpipes when they will do some solo shit.
