That’s kind of wild, right? It’s cold hard metal. Someone spent a lot of time crafting it. It’s been through the wringer. Viviana played the hell out of it and I know I should buy a new flute some day, but now since I’ve dropped it, I feel somewhat obligated to carry her through her tenancy with me. She’s so pretty with the silver body, gold inside and the gold head with her silver crown. Yes, I replaced the head. I should sell the Powell headjoint that Vivi played on. It really is a good head. Maybe I should sell it all and go back to Japanese flutes.

Then, sigh. What do I know? I ride horses.
