Their main reason why they consider the air from the nose to be cleaner than air from the mouth is that a nose cannot twist the truth, unlike the mouth which is very capable of telling lies!<br /><br />Also, the nose offers access to the brain without any barriers.

The thing I like about the name of the Bocarina, apart from the reference to the Ocarina, is that it redirects to the mouth, 'boca', and leads away from the nose, as in 'nose flute', 'nasalette'.

And so interesting for nose flute fans.<br /><br />If I was younger I think I would enjoy taking your class, I used to be fluent in French.<br /><br />I wonder how the South Americans may react if you show them a Guarani nose whistle.

I want to tell them that, besides their very impressive work, I found there is a kind of archetypal scheme raising from such a demand (nose-blown air and mouth as variable cavity).

You have finally managed to push aside my scepticism about the origins of the instrument. This proves that William Carter actually could and probably did invent the nose flute totally independently, and that others could create their own version according to the principle of bringing Maikel Meinoreply@blogger.com
