Enough lung capacity to play a mean flute?

The flute sound was pure and simple just like the sculpture, wonderfull. It seems to me that the lack of a head on the female sculpture and the obvious oversizing of “other parts” shows us that men have always had the same opinion of what makes up the perfect women.

That’s a little over my head, I’m afraid, but totally cool nonetheless.

Major pentatonic scale in that reconstruction, although the same notes could have been used with other tonal centres for other scales. Makes sense, it's a fairly fundamental set of notes that have been used over a variety of cultures.

That’s so wrong it’s right.
