  • Were did you get your music stand??

  • @jalo2001 this stand was made for us as a gift many years ago

  • OMG, I thought it was you, were you the Principal flautist playing with sting in Oslo last night? I didn't realise that you performed using this "tone focus" technique? I thought it was just supposed to be an exercise!? anyway, just wanted to say again, great playing last night, really really enjoyed the show!! Cheers, Chris

  • @jazzflutist You mean rolling the TONE HOLE can show how intonation is affected. And as for your comment about the embouchure not moving while you play... Umm... wrong.

  • Rolling the embouchure over and back can show how intonation is affected. Embouchure should be steady and not moved around (or rolled) as you play. Also shows how to get a stifled (covered) sound vs. a clear open sound. Angling the footjoint away from the body (horiz.) can give you a clearer sound - like aiming the air to the top right part of the blowhole, rather than straight across. E.g. "Aquarium" (Saint-Saens) should have an open sound - quarter notes C B C B | C low F (dotted half).

  • @chinnian11 : I agree. Very nice flutes. I've only tried an alto flute so far, but would love to test out a C concert (normal, regular) flute.
