For me it's not a tune but a warmup which gets my embouchure dialed in quickly. I learned it from professional Boehm fluteplayers. The short version is just playing Bottom D. Start as quietly as possible, build to as loud as possible, and return ...

... their preferred choice of instrument, will be the cheap whistle... On the other hand a good few top range flutes require a very focused, strong embouchure, that is well beyond the reach of relative beginners, to play to their full potential. First, I agree it's always a mistake for beginners ...

... flute over a whistle IMO is the dynamic range of tonal color and volume that can be achieved with a flute So maybe I could mess around with embouchure hole shape to remedy this but I have already gone through about 40 embouchure hole iterations to get to the current one. Not sure I have ...

... for playing my old whistle tunes on flute. Some things are obviously different and challenging (the breathing is different for me as my embouchure is still weak, for example, and obviously there is more to do on the flute with pulses and accents), but I'm wondering how to transfer the ...

... the whole thing. FDM printed in normal plastic PLA (metallic effect PLA) no finishing (deliberately) except removing supports. so holes and embouchure are very rough it dosent have the responsiveness nor the volume or tonal range or dynamics of a good wooden flute but it sounds pretty damn ...

And the whistle has the need for a fair increase in pressure to get the top notes of the second octave. But maybe that's ...

... huge help. I still like to learn tunes on the whistle a lot of times since it's easier to get the fingerings and melodies down without worry about embouchure...especially as my whistle is very easy blowing and requires hardly any air. This allows me to start piecing together the tune and how I ...

... and the general phrasing/ breathing is similar. However most of the sound/tone is “made for you” on the whistle in the fipple - it’s a fixed embouchure and blade to generate the standing wave. On the wooden flute the focusing of the airflow is done by the player. And it takes time to master. ...

Because Eb is the impossible note absent a key. The others can be achieved to varying degrees by flute ninja (half holing, cross fingerings and embouchure adjustment). For Irish Traditional music, Eb is exceptionally rare. So you can get away without it. It’s better to have (all) keys if playing ...
