History[edit]

Didn't Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) use this technique (percussive sounds and humming at a different tone than the one being played) as far back as songs like Cross Eyed Mary and Aqualung?

As well as Thijs van Leer, most obviously Focus's "Hocus Pocus" (1969).

Really, I get the impression this "innovation" is about as recent for flutes as is overblowing. To put it another way, it's eefing (which has been called "hillbilly beatbox") with a flute. Tacking on the standardized elements of beatboxing is interesting, but not radical.

I reckon this should just be deleted... there isn't any real reason for this to exist, any instrument can be beatboxed into / with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.69.255 (talk) 03:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would unfortunately have to disagree with that assesment. Full range steroscopic beatboxing is not possible with the following categories of wind instruments: reeds, double reeds, & brass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Widowsill (talk • contribs) 13:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
