December links digest

I try not to just dump lists of links very often, but here are a few fun items that didn’t warrant their own full posts:

Here, Dr. Coleman models the new flute case cover from Cavallaro, featuring simulated shearling liner and spacious accessory pocket.
Flutists in the news: NASA astronaut Cady Coleman makes music in outer space.
Artist Matthias Adolfsson proposes some new members of the woodwind family.
Musicians can save the world, over at Betsy’s blog.
Esther at Obohemia explains how to tell the flute, the clarinet, and the oboe apart.
And this one is from me: some holiday fun with one of Butch Hall‘s amazing Native American flutes. One of the loveliest instruments I own. Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating it.

Public domain woodwind clip art

Artist Karen Hatzigeorgiou has posted some charming public domain images of woodwind instruments at her website, like this lovely clarinet. The others are in a similar pen-and-ink (or is it some kind of etching?) style.
