Ian Anderson played my flute

Back in the 1980s, Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson visited WXRT-FM’s studios in Chicago. Production director Bill Cochran asked if he could borrow one of my flutes for Anderson to play, and I agreed.

But I wasn’t present when Anderson arrived, and I can’t remember now whether he used my open-hole Gemeinhardt or my closed-hole Gemeinhardt.

Anyone expert enough to tell, just by listening, which one this is?
