Alright, now I know what a flageolet is. Apparently it was used by the band SuperTramp. Too bad you don't seem to have any samples of the music on your website. But thanks anyway. George—geowen@@shaw.ca

Thanks for the sheet music. I will return the favor when and if possible. I like the site, well designed and thought out. Regrads, Scott Webber—Scotty - arcticpalmtree[at]Yah00[dot]c0m

I was very pleased to find this website, and the information is very helpful and much appreciated. I research and collect pre-1850 American woodwinds, including flageolets. I have several single and two early double flageolets, one by C. Toomey, the other by Firth and Hall. I am a member of the American Musical Instrument Society and present papers on my research from time to time.—Doug Koeppe - koeppe1 [AT] verizon [dot] net

Unfortunately, it appears that a mistake in a php script caused the old guestbook to be wiped. Equally annoyingly, it seems I didn't have a decent backup from when we moved the guestbook from plain html to RSS. Many apologies for all of this.—Jacob Head

A very fine site round the flageolet. I am working on a small article based on a strange story from 1655 where a 17-year old latin-schoolboy (in the town Koege in Denmark) in 1647 swallowed a french flageolet (about 13 cm) which went through his body in three dayes. He survived and the flute was still playable!! I am looking for a picture “ Musicians playing to caged nightingales" what in my opinion must be flageolets, they are shown on a plate in a volume published in Rome in 1684. This information is written in the preface of Stanley Godman to The Birds Fancyer's Delight, Schott 5884 from 1954. I have not been able to find it, and I will be very happy if somebody you can help me with informations about it?—mogens(dot)friis(at)stofanet(dot)dk
