Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: don't worry about it, it's totally normal! i'm a flute player, and i have a gemeinhart too! his name is sebastian :D most people i know have named their instruments and love them!Www@QuestionHome@Com Not weird!. People often give a personification to an object that is precious to them!. Usually they use the feminine form!. Many ships and boats are referred to as "she"!. Other guys, and myself, have referred to their car as "she"!. So go ahead, do what you want!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I think its completly normal!. I call my Altus 'she' or 'her' and my piccolo is 'my baby!.' these instruments are expensive and shouldn't really be called it! People are just used to it around me!. =) I got the whole band calling their instruments 'she or he' =) Go for it girl! Www@QuestionHome@Com LOL!. its cute!. I think it just means that you treasure your flute and enjoy which is very good!. when they tease u say at least i care about my instrument or that u have passion or something!. Www@QuestionHome@Com no it just shows that you think highly of your flute and takes great care of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com For me, it's ok!. It describes your love to the "thing" you really love!. I call my laptop as my baby!. Www@QuestionHome@Com It's only wierd if it doesn't have a vagina!.Www@QuestionHome@Com not at all, i find it kind of cool ;) who cares what they think anyways!?Www@QuestionHome@Com |
