[NewMusic] acoustic vs. electronic

[Barry Threw]

Sure.  That would be the first stages of a progression in the evolution 
of the flute in a certain direction.  Eventually everything will 
probably shrink, so that the flute will have the processing all built 
in, no "computer" necessary.   If we want to talk about obsolete 
technologies still in use, MIDI goes right up there on the list.
