Many people enjoy playing the flute, but some wonder if it is possible to teach themselves. The answer is yes! While it may be challenging at first, it is certainly possible to teach yourself how to play the flute. The best way to start is by finding a good tutorial or online course. There are many resources available that can help you learn the basics of playing the flute. Once you have a good understanding of how to play, you can then begin practicing on your own. It is important to be patient when learning how to play the flute.
A flute can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime, depending on how well it is cared for. Proper cleaning and lubrication will prolong the life of a flute.
If you're looking for a decent flute, you can expect to pay anywhere from $600 to $1,500. Of course, the price will depend on the quality of the flute and the brand. If you're a beginner, you may want to look into renting a flute instead of buying one.
It takes about 3 to 6 months to learn the basics of playing the flute.

Okay, so is this a $1,000 or a $5,000 flute? No, but it's a darn nice flute for the money; i've tried a lot of different inexpensive flutes, and they all have problems. I've read a review on wiki that claims this is their top pick, down to their fifth pick, and that it has air leakage issues. However, let me tell you that even though mine arrived with a minor flaw on one of the keys, Jean Paul's customer service was exceptional. They sent me a replacement right away; it took a few days to arrive, but it did so on time. and the finishing was excellent. There's nothing wrong with it. Regarding air leaks, the flute is so tightly sealed that I'm certain I'm not losing any air. Other than the nickel finish, my friend, a skilled flute player, could not believe I paid less than $200 for it. It plays well. I even tried to get her to trade her $6000 flute for mine when she came over, but she laughed and gave mine back. She ended up playing mine for the entire time she was here. She appreciated the craftsmanship, though, and was shocked when I informed her it was made overseas. She was a little irate with me for not purchasing goods made in America. I said, "Hey, I'm going to give them a try," adding that I had told the company that we needed it built locally in order for it to be manufactured in the USA. Nevertheless, he assured me that they were all checked before being shipped out. The shipper has spoken with them and it appears that Amazon is not listing, so carefully inspect your flute and call the company instead of Amazon and they will take care of you no questions asked. I also learned that I should be cautious about Amazon because they have been sending returned flutes out to new customers. Because of this, the product has received some negative reviews, therefore I urge all first-time purchasers like myself to wait for the firm to resolve any problems before leaving a review. A review should cover all aspects, including the product's quality and customer service. Make sure you're honest about what happened and that it was corrected if they take care of you and the instrument is working. Any student or beginner would benefit from purchasing this item because it is affordable and the flute produces music. If you choose to save money by purchasing a subpar instrument, you won't enjoy the learning process.

Being an experienced flutist, I was looking for a cheap beginner flute to suggest to other beginners. I gave it a try, and it sounds fantastic, looks gorgeous, and plays in tune. The flute's quality for the price caught me off guard. This flute is not of poor quality at all. Every flute player and flute student needs a cleaning kit, and this one comes with one. The case is very decent and has a shoulder strap.In May 2015, I paid $69.99 for this flute from this seller; the cost has since increased little. It's a great deal for a flute that costs less than $100.You can notice the offset G and C feet on this flute by glancing at it. This indicates that the left hand ring finger's G key is not in line with the other keys but rather is a little off to the side of the flute. The inline G is difficult to reach, especially for novices, thus this is a BONUS feature. All of my flutes, whether intermediate and professional, have offsets. This is a fantastic addition as a bonus for this flute learner.The C foot is this flute's additional feature. Here, there are only 2 choices: a B foot or a C foot. The typical foot for student flutes is C. In essence, it means that low C, or middle C on a piano, is the lowest note that this flute will play. When you consider that the beginner flutist will study music that does not go any lower than this C for the first three to four years of playing, this is a suitable choice. The low B, often known as the note below middle C on the piano, can be played using the B foot. The low B note is frequently heard in music that is more advanced. I am aware of numerous professional flutists who continue to choose to play with the C foot rather than the B foot.Although I'm not sure how long it will withstand a beginner flutist's propensity for harsh play (dropping it or slamming it into a music stand), for the price it is far superior to renting and superior to a school-rented instrument. The flute could last for many years before needing a tune-up at the repair shop if handled with clean hands, clean mouths to prevent sticky spit from getting into the instrument, gets cleaned with the provided swab-cloth, and fingerprints are rubbed off with the cleaning cloth each time the instrument is used.

I was looking for something to use for my recordings. I work as a freelance musician and songwriter. This flute was appropriate. It compares favorably to my student flute from school. Since I haven't played in 36 years, the halftones and airiness are the result of that. The soundtrack dominates the video. For you to hear how it sounds in all octaves, I played down to the low C, just above the second C to a D, and in the mid tones. I'm extremely happy.

I waited to write this review until I owned the flute for six months. With an inexpensive flute from the bay, I started playing the flute eight months ago. After two months of independent study, I was still unable to play much, but my desire was only growing. So I took things seriously, bought this flute, and arranged for a music instructor to visit our home once a week for an hour.I've learned enough enough to write an insightful evaluation.Everyone agrees that you can't buy a flute in a poke; there must be trials, technicians, repairmen, and teachers engaged. If you know these people, that's great, but what if you're just getting started and want to buy an instrument without their help?In this area, Yamaha excels. The ONLY flute anyone feels comfortable recommending buying blind on any flute message board (I enjoy the r/flute subreddit) is a Yamaha. This question appears in almost every thread: "What flute should I buy?" So, gather a group of six professionals to study the offerings and take x-rays of your skull cavities while you play. "Why can't I just grab the Yamaha?" Yes, if you want to spend money, of course.Because I had never studied the flute, I purchased the YFL-222 on a whim, but I didn't make a mistake. There are many things about this instrument that I adore. One of my most prized belongings, it has grown to be.The embouchure hole needs to be ideal for it to play easily. Highs are sharp, while bottom tones are smooth. Attacks are simple, and it simply responds to articulation. I'll swear that after six months, I can get sweeter notes out of my 222 than my teacher can after six decades with his Artley. While mine sounds like a swarm of angels, his Bb sounds like an ocarina.I've played this a lot (sometimes even outside), and the gentle, light patina that's beginning to develop is lovely. However, the instrument continues to possess its original beauty. All of the screwheads, rods, and springs appear uncorroded and blemish-free. There are no leaks from the lowest to highest notes, and the pads appear to be brand new.The only 2 issues I can identify are:1. There is no handle on the hard case within the soft carrying case. To prevent the wet rag from getting into the flute case, I like to attach my cleaning cloth to the exterior of the case, thus tying it to the handle would be ideal. A handle would have been more elegant, but I had to add a bronze eyelet to the outside of the case to retain the rag.2. The D key is a tiny bit too close to the D# trill key. My big fingers and enormous mitts (I can palm a basketball) often brush the trill key on the D, making it mute. I've been able to avoid it more and more. My teacher says it's not a problem and that I would be OK if I was fingering properly. However, his Artley has some crucially additional millimeters between those keys.This instrument has a top-notch tone. It has shown to be dependable and strong. I love it; it makes me happy. I contend that it's the only flute a student working alone may purchase without taking a chance.

Oh, my God! This flute is AMAZING! As a child, I participated in band classes around the US (father was a map-maker, we moved a Lot). In marching bands, I played flute. In Washington DC nightclubs as a youngster, I was also a part of a jazz combo. Despite the fact that my majors were in art, literature, and education, I took flute lessons from a woman who had left the Kennedy Center Symphony in 1977. All of the judges urged me to pursue a music major after my recital. Incapable of doing that (had worked my way through college by working 2-3 jobs each semester).Old Bundy died, my. Due to misuse, my Gemienhart perished. haven't played the flute in three years. going bonkers All day, I used to play intermittently. Playing while strolling around the woods. I traveled to Scotland twice with my spouse and played the flute all around that magnificent country.I spent a lot of time researching online. Read every review of every flute (including this one).Having some money saved up, I took a chance and bought this one. Today the mail delivered it. It is not a toy for kids; it is weighty. The tone was beautiful. Although I favor the key of G, this C is nonetheless melodic. Am in seventh heaven after turning on Jimi Hendrix and playing Voodoo Child three times in a row! The flute is ideal.As a flute player when I was a child, teenager, or young adult, I wish I had known to get the pads changed, the screws tightened, and the cork repaired. The optimum time to update your flute is once a year. If you can't afford that (having it done is pricey), at least once every two years.If not, your instrument will sound harsh and be unpleasant to play.

This flute, in my opinion, has a passable tone. All the notes of the scale are playing, and the key action is satisfactory. Sometimes the response is annoying, although that might have more to do with my current skill level than the flute. I'm not a repair tech, so only time will tell how durable it is. Despite the fact that I've played quite a few woodwind instruments over the years, this flute has the appearance and feel of a flute fit for a learner. Although it isn't silky smooth, it is thus far useful. Sorry, I'm not sure if this flute would be suitable for playing in a school band or other ensemble. Regarding the instrument's intonation, I'm unsure. Although I had experience playing in community college bands, my intonation was not the best. To my patient ear, it sounds OK, but when I compare the notes to a chromatic tuner, I see a small amount of variation with some of the notes. Again, this could be a result of my playing, not the design or construction of the flute. It could be helpful if you could check with a considerate band director, but I understand it might not be an easy choice. From reading other reviews both here and elsewhere, it appears that at least some directors have strong opinions about these non-"name brand" instruments and find them to range from unreliable to just plain garbage. I believe it would be prudent, if at all possible, for a student or anyone starting an extended course of study to rent or purchase a name brand flute from a respected dealer. However, if you have a tight budget and renting is not an alternative that works for you, this might be a temporary solution. However, the longevity is yet uncertain at this time. In the end, whether or not one views this object as a musical instrument, a toy, or something else entirely, I'm content with my purchase for the time being. Depending on how long it lasts, that can change. The sky blue model I purchased looks fantastic. The "name brand" flutes don't available in the different colors, so you might want to stick with nickel/silver to avoid any snide remarks about "that toy flute" and the such. Wishing you luck and joyful music-making!

The songflute and the flautist are very close siblings.They are both tuned to the key of C, have the same volume body, fingerholds, and materials, are roughly as loud as each other in terms of loudness, and are made of the same materials.Both have the same distance between the fingerholes and the soundhole as well as extrusions on the fingerhole locations for easier playing.Although the flutophone adds an additional eight holes exactly next to the low C to play the C#, both instruments have seven top holes and one bottom hole.The variations are slight.Although Selmer's songflute is simpler and less expensively constructed, it has better finger placements and is hand-curved. Like a recorder flute, the holes on the flutophone are more straight.While the Flutophone has an additional hole there for the C#, the Songflute requires one to partially withdraw the pinky from the tonehole, which can be tricky. This has no impact on playability because both flutes require the same amount of effort to play the C# note, and the extra hole isn't noticeable otherwise.The Songflute has a greater airflow, producing more wind noises and more body, slightly more sounding like an occarina. The Flutophone has a broader, but more narrow mouthpiece by a millimeter or two, resulting in slightly less airflow, but a more defined tone (like a recorder, brilliant, clear tone).The flutophone is longer in part due to the longer mouthpiece, but it is also longer due to the addition of a bell at the bottom for sound projection. Without this bell, I have no doubt that the songflute would have been the louder flute.Even though the flutophone was obviously manufactured with superior quality materials, it was surprisingly off by up to 25ct or more on the low D! The songflute was tuned fairly accurately. It's unfortunate that this more beautiful instrument has a tone problem, even if it's only on one note.Overall, I believe the Selmer Songflute, which is less expensive, is an easier instrument to play and has the right tonality.Due to its dualtone hue, the flutophone is the instrument with a nicer appearance.Both are excellent flutes to learn on, but this one is my preference because it is less expensive and has the right tone (as opposed to the error on the flutophone's D).As an adult, I'd say that for those with delicate or average hands, the finger spacing is ideal. Since the holes are close together, large hands may have trouble finding them.The mold's jagged edges caused me to deduct half a rating.It's really deserving of 4.5 stars and ought to be purchased!
No, learning flute is not difficult. In fact, it can be quite easy and enjoyable. The key is to find a good teacher and practice regularly.
The flute is a musical instrument of the woodwind family. Unlike other woodwind instruments, the flute is held horizontally and is played by blowing across the mouthpiece, rather than into it. The flute has been around for centuries and has been known by many different names. In the Western world, it is most commonly known simply as the flute. However, it has also been known as the pan flute, recorder, and fife. The flute is a popular instrument in many different genres of music, including classical, jazz, and
There are two types of flutes- the transverse flute and the recorder. The transverse flute is held horizontally, and the recorder is held vertically.
The flute family is made up of the flute, piccolo, and alto flute. Each instrument has a different range and sound. The flute is the highest sounding instrument, followed by the piccolo, and then the alto flute.
There are three main types of flutes: the concert flute, the piccolo, and the alto flute. The concert flute is the most common type of flute. It is made of metal and has a range of about three octaves. The piccolo is a small flute that is made of wood or metal. It has a range of about four octaves. The alto flute is a larger flute that is made of metal. It has a range of about four and a half octaves.
A double flute is a flute that has two parallel pipes. The two pipes are usually the same length, but they can be different lengths.
