| Flutists' Family Tree |
| The Flutists' Family Tree traces the lineage of transverse flute playing, from student to teacher, through the past 300 years. It links about 9000 flutists "genealogically" with their ancestors -- tracing generations of players of various nationalities. Its aim is to provide connections between musicians, renew relationships between students and teachers, and increase awareness of our common history. |
