Thanks for this very informative video. I will definitely be following you! Love and Chi!

Wonderful video Jon, thank you. Been working on Choshi and finding "Ha Ro" to be quite a challenging couplet causing a lot of 'warbling' back down to otsu. Your demonstration was very clear and falls in with what I've been experiencing on focus and pressure. Again, thank you.

I'll keep working on it. Thanks again!

thank you for another vid! I want to make sure I got this straight, please clarify for my simple newbie mind, lol....
the blowing out pressure within my mouth decreases as my lips come closer together to reach Kan
& pressure decreases as my lips part wider to play the lower octaves.
less pressure + smaller lip parting = Kan
more pressure + wider lip parting = lower octaves
is that accurate?
as usual, Thanks for your help Jon! & I agree with lotoneroblu, nice shak ;)

@frictionad Hello and you're welcome. Actually just reverse what you said, more pressure for Kan and less for Otsu. Thank you for the complement!

Thanks for adding another video. When I play the upper octave, it sounds out of tune. Do you think it's a symptom of my economy-priced flute, or do I just need to work on my technique a little more?

@thaflinger You're welcome. I'd have to play the flute to give you a definitive answer. If the 1st register Otsu is in tune than the 2nd register Kan should not be far off unless the flute is too wide or skinny.
