How long is a thread of string?

I've never heard of anyone trying to reach grade 8 in a flue. Most people do it in a room.

Haha.  You guys are vicious.

Several years at least I would think.  With a teacher.


Although I'm not a flautist and don't know exactly what grade 8 is for flute.  Or for piano for that matter.  There are several grading systems for piano but I've never used them.

I am leaning over in my chair and just reach my grade 8 textbook. There that is as long as it takes….
Not good enough?  Try this then…….It will take you as long as you want it to.

If you think it's is expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
