Pearl Flute - A Little Flute Help?

This song is from the 12 Fantasies by Telemann. I don't think I'd played this one before and I REALLY need to find more music to actually PRACTICE flute BAD. Here's tonight's flute mood-inspired song! (Also, a picture of Baby (the bunny!) with a Gemeinhardt flute-- picture from July.)

I'm wondering if anyone can give me a little advice on my playing. I've noticed that I do something with my throat (I've noticed this over the past few years but didn't find it a bother enough to do anything about it) when I play and it can be heard in some of my sound clip. I KNOW it can be heard in the 'movie' video and I'll make another video that may help, too. Thanks!

You said you needed pieces to practice. Fantasie Pastorale Hongroise by Franz Doppler is a good piece that I am making. Others include: Bwv 1013 Partita in a minor by J.S. Bach, Cantabile et Presto by Enesco, Vals or Waltz by Gadar, Density 21.5 by Varez... If you have any trouble finding these message me your email and I will send pdfs to you.

@teichiboy

Yes you can. Pearl does. Look at their mastea series.

@suoupavlichenko1 personally I only use the gizmo for 4th C for C# D and Eb I use the c and c# key if that helps any with your extended range.

@Koyko200 you can't buy an inline flute with a split E mechanism no company does that after you buy it you would have to send it off to have whats called a donut (which is also known as a g disc) placed in the mechanism. The split E mechanism is only for offset G flutes.

@invaderrekon the gizmo key is the 4th key on the end of the flute foot joint. It lowers the lowest note from a C to a B and can greatly stablize the highest octave(4th C and above)

Did the dolce come with plugs to put in the open holes?

[invaderrekon]

what does the gizmo key do?

@shapeofcallinghome I'm actually not anymore! go miyazawa, I tried a few flutes and the miyazawa is just the right one for me.

I want a custom white gold flute from Pearl. I want a masta though. I love my Elegante. I want an inline G, E Facilitator, C# Trill Key, & D# Roller. I have all that on my Elegante but not the E Facilitator but I have a G Disc.
