Is that a Powell 3100 flute? 

[ncomposer]

@Flutechito Its a Powell handmade conservatory Aurumite 9k Flute (I think they use to be called 3100's) I 've had it for about 10 years.

@ncomposer Thanks. I have a powell 3100 have had it for about 11 years. I asked because I am always taking it for repairs. Does your flute need to be adjusted constantly?

[ncomposer]

@Flutechito Actually, no. I've been fortunate. I am friends with a tech here in Atlanta, and she's done some work on it for me periodically. Love her!

i have a question. whenever i try to play e natural, (both middle and low) , sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesnt. i cant figure out what im doing- i think im doing the same thing both times. is it just me or is it my flute? but i can play all the other notes just fine...

@iloveunot098 You might want to check for a leak. Always a good idea to rule out that your flute is causing the problem.

@ncomposer

alright ill check, thanks!

@eMusicTuition Yes it works with any fingering and the note is notated. I find the most effective jet whistles are the notes that have the most keys pressed down. For example, the C below the staff works really well.
