    Did any of The Rolling Stones members play a fipple flute?

    		Step one (I haven't got time for the rest, will leave it to someone else) - a fipple is the mouthpiece of an end-blown wind instrument such as a recorder, ocarina or tin whistle (amongst other instruments).

    		Bob Dylan: What I like about that record is Brian Jones playing the recorder. The recorder is a woodwind of the family known as “fipple flutes.” A “fipple” is a wooden plug at the end of a flute. The flute, in its heyday, was associated with birds, shepherds, miraculous events, funerals, marriages, and amorous scenes. I think it’s one of the most beautiful sounds known to man. I brought mine with me today, and if you don’t mind, I’m gonna play a little somethin’ for ya.

    		15% for looney; 85% for star. "Ruby Tuesday" is one of their songs with this instrument.
