Abstract
The author has been playing principal flute for almost twenty years, in the ""G Enescu"" Bucharest Philharmonic Orchestra, the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra and the Cape Philharmonic and was fortunate to hear live some of the leading world orchestras, among them the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Gewandhaus, London Philharmonic, London Symphony, Orchestre Nationale de France, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and the Boston Symphony. All these great orchestras experienced intonation problems, mainly in the woodwind section, and I have started to study this phenomenon, which has followed me through my entire life.
