Alright, i recently inherited a flute (not metal) from my father. The only problem is, I have no idea how to physically play it. I have a background with playing the trumpet and other brass instruments, but I dont think that helps very much. So, just how do you blow into this thing? Whats the embrochure of your mouth supposed to be like? (spell check?) Its a one piece flute thats made from bamboo And im sure this thread will attract millions of people
You gotta make a kissy face and blow air over the hole...like a coke bottle. What the fuck is an embrochure?
from wikipedia Yeah, ive tried blowing over the hole.... even with the kissy face (i had 4 years of highschool band which were mostly spent looking at the girls playing flutes)
I once got a sound out of a flute, to the best of my recollection, I had to try for about a week first. Stiff lower lip tuned slightly in (teethward) Stiff upper lip pursed slightly out Try to whistle blowing straight down into the hole, and just keep trying. It looks so easy, my cousin is a concert flautist, I tried it and found no aptitude at all. Good luck though.
Is there a mouthpiece on the end or a hole about 2in from the edge you blow into? What im gettin at is are you sure its a flute and not a fife or recorder If its a flute i cant help you Fife and recorder music is avaliable online There is an online textbook for learning the fife
ive met some chicks that play a mean '' skin flute,,!!!!!!'' .... <INPUT id=chk_2 onclick=objThumbview.handleImageCheck(event); type=checkbox value=StankyPoontang.gif name=selectedmedia[]> that just aint right <<<<<<<
okay dude, I think I can help you a bit here. I dont personally play the flute and never have, but my mom used to have one so i fucked around for a second. Place your pointer finger horizontally directly under your bottom lip so that it "folds" over. Thats what you're wanting to do to the mouthpiece. Remember you're not wanting to blow into the hole at all, but blow wind OVER the surface. It takes practice, but you'll get it I'm sure.
