the once common site of london flute shops has sadly dissappeared from many a high street. these poor shops suffered most as a result of fickle londoner's change in taste away from the metalic wind instruments.

today they'd rather have a reed instrument such as a bassoon or core angerlay (why did i choose that word to spell ?).

cousin mike might be able to give us some more musical knowledge to explain the demise of the humble flute shop
