Is there a way to "bend" the notes? like you can on a harmonica?

[OdellBorg]

We have put my second DVD on YouTube and it has sections on getting something other than the "straight" sounds.

I watched the videos got really interested :) ordered my flute with the F key and after waiting for a month for delivery now here it is

:)

I got 1 question the highyest two holes do not give any sound unless i blow harder and even then the sound of the air is highyer then the sound the flute produces... any hints on that ?

could it be a defect with the flute.. if so can i fix it ...

Thank you in advance :)

Sorry you're having difficulties. I assume that you didn't buy it direct from me because I ship within 3 days. There could be a couple reasons why you may have difficulties. The fetish (bird) should be firmly seated (tied down) and not move easily, and be positioned so it's never covering any part of the rectangular sound hole (fipple). It should sit just slightly behind the sound hole. If you can't get a good voice out of the flute, you can call to discuss a potential fix: 800-394-1523.

What is interesting is that the style of the American Indian flute music is so similar to ancient Chinese flute (Xiao).

Actually, they are almost the same.

I just bought my first flute from your step son Ram on Saturday here in Eugene, OR.

I can say that I am completely satisfied and in Love with it. I am now watching all of the lessons you've provided (and I Am extremely Grateful for that) and I will continue my practice every day into eternity! Thank You.

One question,

I cannot remember which key this flute is in. It is a 6 hole flute, medium sized. It's not a pocket flute, but it's not your full sized flutes either. Any tip on finding out?

I will get an Odell flute in the next days and I feel so happy to learn and play it. Thanks for this great videos. They are easy to understand, even for german speakers as I am. Funny too, and I like the message as it is: Relax, play, let it flow...

Thanks so much!

I love your video's. They are very helpful and I appreciate you putting them on here. I bought one of your flute's and I am more of a visual person. Thank you. I have always loved this flute and it is so beautiful and is great for expression.
