Even though I have been well informed about the historical facts, I have intuitively perceived the transverse flute as a contemporary musical instrument, in constant change to accommodate the visions of musicians and makers. The first part of the autoethnographical studies challenges this by examining the roots of the design of the instrument through musical practice. This may... (More)
