 Re: Playing In Tune -- Or Not?

Wes,

Flute is a 2ndry instrument and huge passion of mine and I agree with everything you said about their propensities for sharpness in the 3rd octave.

I find they tend to float aprox.20 cents sharp and have had several otherwise really good players just insist their flutes will only play sharp up there.

So, I like to ask to play their flute , bet a beer, turn on a tuner and show them otherwise.

It is SO EASY to adjust the flute pitch, and to your point while not becoming a slave to a tuner, they really need to practice a lot with it.

And these days the web resources, Galway lectures, etc., just keep proving the simple pipe can really be played in nearly perfect tuning with minimal effort.

Flat cellos though, different matter.... Tabuteau would have pulled out a reed knife and removed the offending strings.

Muhaa! and cheers.
