Re: Adjustment high C#

Author: RobinDesHautbois  Date:   2010-08-09 14:37 I have found that these notes (which rely on harmonics) are not dependable, and this is true for all Lorees and Yamahas I have played on. I can't say much for other brands as I was not yet good enough when I played on them, but I played 1st flute band parts as written (no octave transposition) in the army, so I'm very comfortable in the very high register. to Depending on the reed and the weather, always changing in Ottawa and Montreal, I'll sometimes add the 1st or 3rd octave key (never both). No, I can't give any guidelines except to do a good warm-up before playing so you can figure out which are needed at that particular hour. At any rate, those notes are best played with the ears and feeling in the lips rather than the fingers as the harmonics can be very sharp or flat in comparison to the lower notes: the fingerings are just meant to facilitate them playing at all. Best of luck! Robin Tropper M.A.Sc., B.Mus., B.Ed. http://RobinDesHautbois.blogspot.ca/music
