Artley flute 18 0 563623 how to#
:) I am looking forward to learning how to play with you all here. My husband, knowing how much I love flute music, bought me a used one. Nevertheless, The Virtual Flute offers an abundance of alternative fingerings for your flute, with or without a Split E mechanism, so be sure to search for a fingering on this website regardless of your flute model. All of these fingerings include the RH2 key. Some sources will recommend flutes with a Split E mechanism because of known alternative fingerings that make use of it. There is no means of turning the Split E mechanism 'on' or 'off' as such - it either exists on your flute or it doesn't. Without the Split E mechanism, this hole remains open when RH2 is pressed. If a Split E mechanism exists, RH2 will, amongst other things, close the large hole immediately to the right of the G# lever. The Split E mechanism is an extra connection that affects the RH2 key (the key between the two trill keys). Can I turn this Split E on and off, or do I have to send it into a shop to have that done? Please, someone, give me some answers. I have the extra thing sticking out between the key to the right of the G# lever (when holding the flute in playing position and looking down on it) and the key to the right of that key. How do I do this? I don't have the "donut" High E Facilitator, that's different. I heard that it can be turned on and off. All the places I've searched on the internet tell me what it does and why I want it on my flute, but none of them tell me how to use it. I know what a Split E Mechanism DOES, and know that my flute DOES have it, but I don't know how to USE it. If you order the results by 'Playability', the fingerings that are easiest to sound will be displayed near the top of your search. So, using the search facility for single note fingerings (Tool 2), select your flute type and enter these notes to find alternatives. The highest C on the flute is C7, and the highest B on the flute is B6. What are some techniques I can use to get the highest C and B on flute. When this is done, no fingering should contain more pressed keys than fingers on a hand (except for the foot keys, which can be multiply selected reasonably easily). However, in your searches, ensuring that the "Allow unconventional finger positions" option is *not* selected will remove these fingerings from the list. Indeed, there are many fingerings that are difficult to finger because they include too many pressed keys. Some work needs to be done on this virtual flute for feasability and reality. A person would have to have 6 to 8 fingers on the right hand to manage them. Some alternate fingerings, such as for F# are NOT POSSIBLE.
When are you going to model a piccolo? :D
I bet the major flute manufacturers would allow you to borrow instruments to model so you could add a "brand" choice as well. I would suggest to add the key percussion and tongue-ram results as well.Īwesome resource! Surprised that your flute model does not include a C# trill key? This is a common addition to many flutes now. Thank you very much! I am forwarding your page to all my students and to my colleagues as well. I only wish similar sites were available for other wind instruments! The piece involves micro-tonal trills and tremolos, timbral and articulation modifications and a number of multiphonics for both flute and clarinet. Piece of music - Andrew Robbie's "Damp Leaves & Conversation"īeing able to have precise tunings and multiphonic predictions for any given fingering was an incredible timesaver. Carl Rosman told me I'm the only flute player in history who has ever been able to play this bar.
I found useful fingerings for most of these notes. Sharp C7 - sharp B6 - E7 - flat D7 - flat E7 - D7 - flat Eb7 - Bb6 Piece of music - Richard Barrett's "What Remains" for flute, bass clarinet and piano The fingerings I found were useful for the passage:Īlthough these fingerings are simply an overblown first register, I didn't think of it at the time. I searched for fingerings which did not include the tr1, tr2 and gizmo keys. The passage was:Įb6 - F6 - Eb6 - F6 - Eb6 - D6 -Eb6 - F6 - G6 I came across a slurred, fast passage which, although was not exposed, was tricky to execute. Piece of music - Liszt's Piano Concerto No 1, flute part 1 No multiphonics are predicted for this fingering.
