It's 10 in long, wooden, 6 holes in front (equal in size and distance from each other), it has an octave key for thumb in top back, It's played vertically, it has a rectangular hole on the mouth piece (not for covering up and forming notes)  The flute is a cylinder shape.  I'm not sure but G seems to be the lowest note it can play. if you press no holes, you get a high G, all holes, G one octave lower.  It plays higher than high G but im not sure how high.  Someone says it looks like a pinkillo but the several types of pinkillos i saw a slight differences like the bottom hole being further from the others, holes not perfectly lined, or different size holes.  It's not a quena cause it has that hole on the mouth piece for air (i guess anyways) to come out. I would aslo like to know the fingerings.  I searched the web but couldn't find it. I looked at a lot of pics and articles, nothing exact of my instrument. Can you please help me so I can start playing all the notes. Thank you

sounds like a recorder or an irish flute

Your aperture (hole in lips) may be too large and you may be directing the air down too far.  Try placing the head joint upside down on your upper lip and get a sound.  Keep your lips in that position and return the head joint to your lower lip.  BLow the same way and adjust the position of the flute until you get a sound.  Fast focused air will get it.

I am dissapointed by the lack of response to your question. I had it on my watch list as I have also written many songs, and was hoping for a good tip.  Good Luck

Because the bottom of the tube is full of water, you can consider it closed - but the top is open. The standing waves the form in the tube will have a node (that is, the air won't be moving anywhere) at the bottom of the tube. That's clear - because the air can't go anywhere, it must be stationary at the bottom of the tube. At the top of the tube, the air will be going in and out, so you must have an antinode at the top of the tube.\n\nSo, the lowest frequency (longest wavelength) will be when a quarter of a wavelength fits in the tube. The next will be when three quarters fit in. The next will be when 5 quarters fit in, etc.\n\nYou also know that the frequency of the sound that will resonate the column will be 440Hz.\n\nSo you can use (freq) * (wavelength) = (speed) \n\nTo get the wavelength = 0.777m roughly\n\nAnd then the lengths of pipe for which there will be resonance will be 0.777 * (1/4) = 0.194m, then 0.777 * (1/4) = 0.583m, then 0.971m.\n\nOf course, you could be clever and say "ah, but the tuning fork will also produce harmonics at 880, 1320, 1760 etc." so you can halve your answer, or third it, or quarter it - etc. but that might be considered a smart-ar5e answer ;)\n\nHyperphysics is good on this - see below.

its simple the holes in the flute are there to regulate the length of the air column that is formed when we blow air into the flute . this change in length changes the frequency and that gives us different sounds . the shorter air column gives a shriller sound.

I play the b flat clarinet and piano. i wanted to play the flute in the beginning too, but i changed my mind. clarinet is so much more mellow and, well, you know, nice!

it's a severly detuned A.  you aren't actually in a different key, you're just tuned down.  \nmiddle a is 440, if you've got it set to 430, you won't be able to play along with anyone else cause you'll always be flat.  other keys aren't tuned to by changing the frequency of a, other keys are tuned to by changing the fret that you play a at.

I know very little about the Juno-D (I played one today, actually, but just for a minute), so I'll just talk about the Microkorg (there's one sitting next to me).  \n\nMicrokorg:\nPros:\na) great sounds (some seriously-fat synths)\nb) built-in vocoder\nc) endless hours of fun playing with it\n\nCons:\na) the keys are tiny (toy keyboard tiny), and the keyboard is only 3 octaves.  You can raise or lower the octave with buttons, but who wants to keep pressing buttons while they're playing? \nb) unusual layout.  There's alot to adjust, but only a few knobs to adjust with, so you inevitably have to turn 2 or 3 knobs to change 1 thing.  That may sound abstract to you, but trust me, it's annoying, and definitely not suitable for live performance (you'd need an extra person in the band just to turn knobs and push buttons).  \nc) 4 voices of polyphony. I see this as a critical flaw of the Microkorg.  What it means is that you can only play a maximum of 4 notes at once (sometimes less, depending on the preset), so you can forget about playing a chord with both hands.  Most modern synths have at least 32-voices, which is usually enough.     \n\nIf you're used to a piano, and you want something sort of close to a piano, your fingers will hate the Microkorg.  The Microkorg is, in alot of ways, a novelty synth.  Although it has really good sounds, everything about its design is SO atypical.  The Juno-D is a proper, standard synth: 5-octaves of decent-sized keys, 64-voices of polyphony, etc.  Plus it has that awesome d-beam controller.  I can't speak about the sounds, though.  Based on everything above, I'd say (out of those 2), go with the Juno-D.  If it's your first synth, I think you'll just be constantly frustrated with the Microkorg.  \n\nBut before you shell out the money, jump over to this website:\n\nhttp://www.tweakheadz.com\n\nGo to their forums and ask lots of questions.  They're professionals and they'll help you out.  They helped me pick out my first synth 4 years ago.

I looked for awhile and all I found was a book. I can play it on piano but to try and explain it is hard. Start off with C,E,G on your right hand and C on your left. Play all of them then just the C. Its actually very simple. \nGood luck!

I know this has nothing to do ith your question, but your email address isn't verified, and I really want/need you help with my guitar. \nI was thinking about your other reply and  the string only buzzes when it's open. Does that mean it is a burr in the nut? \nAlso could you tell me what the safest way to change the string is? (I'm such a tele virgin!) \nThing is, it got brought two weeks ago, so I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong this quickly! Plus its Easter weekend, so everywhere is closed or I'm at work so I can't take it back to the shop and get them to sort it. \nThank you, its great to be able to ask someone who actually has the guitar to tell me what to do. \nOf course I like calexico. Again it's nice to find someone who knows who they are!

I can't speak personally because I do not nor have I ever played the flute... however one of my best friends does play the flute and has for 20+ years and she prefers a Gemindhart.

Hello\n\nFrom someone who dislikes most jazz they've heard let me explain my thoughts..\n\nPerhaps because the layout is different from pop music.. the structure of the songs.. people are subconciously expecting a top40 formula in 4/4 and they're getting something totally different.  It can be quite difficult to stay on top of a jazz song.. the instruments start to sound as if they're having their own fast dialog with each other.. and its in a language I dont quite understand, so how can I enjoy the dialog when I dont know what they're saying?\n\nJazz seems similar in essence to much classical music with that respect.. the music is a lot more dynamic and 'alive' (if you will) than most of the top40 stuff playing on the radio..\n\nthat and the instruments.. personally, the timbre of a saxophone literally gives me a headache.. I think its the frequency space it takes up.. a squeeling trumpet can do the same.. (actually a squeeling anything can do it hehe)\n\njust some thoughts.. hope I havent offended you. :c)

I can read music so im going to give you exactly what I think  its notes are F#  F#  F#       DA       F#       DA    F#     C#C#C#   DA\nF(natual)   DA   F#    F#(high)  F#F#F#( the last one high)  FE   E(flat)DE(flat). Good luck!

You might think 200 Hz at first since 900-700 = 200. But the question is how do you get the 700 resonance from a 200 Hz fundamental frequency?  A musical instrument wouldn't do this -if it had 200 Hz as a fundamental frequency, then it would have 400, 600, 800, 1000 ... as resonances, not 700 and 900. \n\nOne answer might be if the object is a closed cylinder. The sound propagates thought the air column and is reflected by the closed end. Thus only odd harmonics are generated (see the link for a drawing to help understand this). So if you have closed column with a fundamental frequency of 100 Hz, then you would see 100, 300, 500, 700, 900 ... Hz resonances - so you can get the 700 and 900 Hz resonances that you describe with nothing in between!!

keep on practicing the scales, especically those on the higher octaves, and those with 16th notes.\n\nany music store should have scales for flute. \n\nIf you get bored with those, I highly recommend music by Jacques Hotteterre. He was a flautist and composer in the 1700s. He published a book of preludes, that I used quite a bit. Any book store should be able to order that music book for you. I have been playing the flute for over 20 years.

I dont know and I play the flute thats kind of bad. LOL

He he, I went from flute to sax too. What you're doing is getting the fingering mixed up. A 'C' on the saxophone is with your middle left finger down, and index up, and a 'B' is only your left index finger down. It's like the recorder in that sense. My suggestion would be to pick up a cheap beginner sax book with a fingering chart in it. Seems like you're getting an ok sound too if you can figure out something's wrong like that.\nA quick talk with a saxophone teacher or experienced player to help you with youre embechure (mouth position) would be advantageous as well. Once you get in a good habit of how far down the mouth piece to be and find the right angle for your bottom lip & teeth you'll be fine. I had a bad teacher to start with & had to change my embechure twice to get it right several years later.\nOne more habit you'll need to change is how to tongue your notes. On the flute you sound the beginning of each note by touching your tongue on the roof of your mouth, but on the saxophone you need to just touch the tip of the reed. Again, I tongued each note like a flautist for years before learning how to do it right. It sounds pretty bad to start off with but once you get the hang of it, it sounds so much clearer.\nHope this helps, good luck!
