On this week's episode, I pull on the thread of the "world's most expensive flute" a little too hard, and end up telling the story of an almost mythical golden flute. I discuss high-end guitars and violins for comparison, before rounding it all up with what happened to the Flute Excalibur. If you make it through this week's episode, be sure to fire me a message over on my socials to let me know what you think!

If I get over 100 subscribers, I'll be making a special episode involving gin and my favourite flute euphemisms.
