[/quote] He was indeed playing his 18k Nagahara. And on the comment about the Miyazawa that he plays.... how interesting! That was the model that I myself like the best [ and will probably purchase in the next month ..... if my student loans ever come in :evil: :wink: ][/quote] Wasn't he also a majo...

I just ran across two flutist who have some interesing music: 1. Suzanne Teng- if you have ecletic music taste Suzanne plays some awesome music with pan, bamboo, beautiful alto and contrabase flutes. very etherial and in my opinion wonderful music. 2. Zig Noda- with a name like that you have to be g...

It was my understanding that it was the split in the air column that set up the vibrations which then resonate through the tube as sound. That is the principle in the Japanese and native American flutes and I would think the same applies to keyed flutes???

OK now for a really basic question: what is the effect you are trying to get or the purpose of single double or triple tonguing a passage? Is it note clarity or helping to make rapid passages more distinct? Quite obviously I do not do this unless it is accidently??

and of course there is Nestor Torres.--Latin jazz

[quote="DFlute"]Hi woof, I'm sure you are a fine flute player. I tried a pearl flute last week and also found the same challenge (the gaspy wisps of low c) with the low register with the light leaps through the upper register...If only we could have it both ways... DFlute- it does come with practice...

I love discussions of physics of sound- It is great to understand music at all levels and several of you have brought some great ideas to this discussion. As for sound projecting over water better than over land I recall hearing conversations of people in boats a long way off on a quiet calm day. Wa...

Ibid about the good tips. Ibid? I'm not familiar with that term? Actually it is a bit out of place here, generally it is used to abbreviate notations in lists of references. When ibid is used it tells the reader to refer to the reference that preceeded the current piece of information as the source...

1. Do not over drive the input of the recording device. In the old days, people woould let the recording meter go into the red. With digital gear, this is a BIG no no. 2. Do not use too much input gain. If you monitor the input signal, and you can hear your neighbor snoring from a half mile away, t...

I too am a Pearlie- which is irrelavant to the discussion, I have an Elegante that I really like- I often play along with various CDs as accompaniment (whether the artist likes it or not- my house my rules) and sometimes even take the lead- again my house my rules. The point is that the flute is int...

I recently recorded my own playing and upon listening to the playback I was shocked. Sort of like the first time you hear a recording of your own voice. That couldn't be me! The good news is that the flute sounded great- i.e. in tune. But what I heard of the music I played was nothing like what I th...

This one is really cool too. The guy does a bach duet with himself split screen. Nice dark sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr9jwh8uCJU That is neat and he also does duets in other videos. He even has a very serious looking music stand- I think he has been playing for more than a coupld of yea...

He may be sound enhanced but he has great tone and expression- he has several videos and in all of them he plays really well. I like his set up for amping the sound- looks like something that would easy to put together.

Hi Admin- guess you need to check and do some more cleaning again cause the spamming is continuing with cigarette ads etc. I know it can be a pain when these jerks hack into a site like this. Can you shut off their access to the site?
