I did my 150 Ro (10 sets of 15) by way of practice on the shakuhachi last night, and was in bed at 1AM on the dot.
But I could not get to sleep! I'd had a stronger-than-necessary coffee, and ate some lettuce and lettuce always gives me energy so ....
I finally got up at 3AM and had some crackers with butter to try to get sleepy, and that didn't really work so I got out the Hall flute and started going through the Christmas carols in the book. I think if I'd been putting in an hour a day on the Hall flute I'd sound pretty good by now, and if I really get on top of practicing with it from here on out, I can go out busking with it without embarrassing myself.
The Hall flute is not just a mere tube, but has a "Boehm taper" in the closed end, that makes it able to play a greater range.
