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.

After that, I get stuck into my first album reviews; Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue. Join me as I pick 4 of my favourite all-time flute albums, and tell you why you should check them out!
