Waltz No 2flute

Here's a comment from the student who originally asked the question: Thanks to you too! Jen==============Hi Jennifer: Many thanks for such a detailed and lengthy response. I seem to have made a break through this evening during my practice session.I have visited your website many times. The information you have made available has really impacted my playing and types of experiments I've engaged in to get the best tone I can manage.=====================Great news! Best, Jen

I've never seen (or perhaps just never noticed) recommendations for bending notes on a flute. I was self-taught at an early age (8 years old) and didn't learn the real fingerings for second and third registers until in my middle school and high school years. So I always pushed and bent notes. Got two state "firsts" in solo competition doing it that way and had a very strong lip out of all this. I still push and bend, but at age 80 perhaps not quite so well as when in my 20s. And I don't have a venue for performance so it doesn't matter if I'm a bit off. Matters just to me as I play in my family room.

We have a wide variety of cartridges. Intermediate, Center, Outer Cartridges in stock. Cartridges ship complete with Insert Screws and Adjust Screws.

Flutefinger chart

Dear John,I have one really big reaction to this; why don't people put fingering charts in the flute case (or with the flute) when they give the flute to a child?? I realize it was 70 years ago, but it still happens today.We have the technology to put a man on the moon (or to land a rocket on a moving comet for that matter), but for some reason thousands of children have flutes but not a fingering chart or a "how to care for the flute" card in any of the flute cases.Why?Someone should take on this project and make sure that no more 8 yr olds play three octaves on the flute with low octave fingerings. It's just crazy.Please someone, make this your life's work; that's what I think.Doh.Jen
