[edit]I noticed that the two sample sound files are in a different musical key. Which one is correct? 68.55.112.31 (talk) 22:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Confusing
[edit]The whole paragraph about the US Navy is confusing. It refers to a list that is not shown - "in this list 8 for guests with quadruple or triple ruffles and flourishes, 6 for lower ranking dignitaries". In what list? Seeing the Army and the Navy is quoted, is there another list for the Air Force and another for the Coast Guard? If so, or if not, it should be stated for completeness.

- And what do "guest" and "lower ranking dignitaries" mean? --5.170.9.168 (talk) 21:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
Copyright
[edit]As pertains to a claim of copyright added this to article, I have several points: 1) The article does not refer to a specific piece of music to be used for ruffles and flourishes. 2) These ruffles and flourishes were created well before the earliest date for current, unexpired copyrights in the United States, so they are in the public domain, and 3) even if they were still copyright-able, the ownership of the copyright would lie with some branch of the United State government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.54.36.245 (talk) 00:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
The Horst-Wessel-Lied as a historical example
[edit]I would like to suggest researching the Horst-Wessel-Lied as a possible example of a historical use of the ruffles and flourishes. I have no source myself, but it does seem like the practice described in this article when you hear that one recording. That beginning before the words start is not on the note sheet.--Adûnâi (talk) 21:52, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
