Renowned Italian flautist and Vertu brand ambassador Andrea Griminelli was in town recently to share all things flute ... and phone-related.

MOST teenagers would naturally look to emulate a guitar hero and pick up a six-stringer, or any other instrument within the rock genre, but not Italian Andrea Griminelli. His weapon of choice – the flute. Yup, nothing particularly rock n’ roll there, but that was the career trajectory Griminelli engineered from the very start and he’s had no cause for regret ever since.
