Flute Diversity

This beautiful instrument that we all love so much. You know it’s got some quirky little keys on it. Some of them are kind of weird. They don’t all look normal like the A-key.

Well, what if we decided we didn’t like all the weird little keys. We want all the keys to be the same. Nice and normal like the A-key.

So we get rid of the C key. We get rid of the thumb levers and that weird G sharp key that sticks out so oddly, my goodness. Let’s get take that off.

Those little trill keys that work remotely; you press down something over here, but it opens up something over there. We don’t quite trust that.

And everything for the right hand little finger. Get rid of all that. Now all the keys look the same. Nice and normal.

But what kind of Flute do we have? It only plays a couple of notes at best, an octave apart. Nothing else. Is that the kind of Flute we want?

Our beautiful community is made up of many many different faces. We need them all in order to be who we are.
