t’s the end of the NFA Bootleg Series 2024, and what an ending it is, dearest listeners. In what you might say saving the best for last (I couldn’t possibly comment), my guest this week is Flute Center CEO Julian Rose.I was like a child in a sweetshop in this one, as I got to pick the brains of a business and flute encyclopaedia in Julian. We chat about his own journey and new part ownership in Flute Center, before letting me ask the questions burning inside me. Has Chris Martin ever bought a flute? What’s the most expensive flute in the shop? Has Emmanuel Pahud ever tested flutes with an NBA star?You’ll find it all out in here, you lucky wee ducks.If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at;patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcastInline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
