Tell us something.: I am a flute player and is part of a duo of flute and guitar. Recently i have extended my music to include the sound of the NAF. I recently bought a flute from High Spirits flute and one from Jonah Thompson. As I continue to listen to professional players like Scot August I realize that the Anasazi and Mohave 6 flutes are wonderful and that i should add one of these to my collection. However all reports talk about the difficulty in playing a rim blown flute. I think it may be similar to the Yamaha I now play. i would like to become a part of this forum and hear what foklks are saying.

Tips on Playing the Anasazi Flute

Post by gemmastemley »

Hi Everyone:

I received my Bb Anasazi from Geoffrey Ellis. It's a beauty! Some of you are very adept at playing this wonderful instrument. I heard Jonathan's (Peddlar)recording of the Scott August's tune - Journey, which was true to the original. Does anyone have any tips about getting a sound out of the sixth hole. I am making progress on the other five notes but the six is a challenge. I plan to take a Skype class from Scott but would like to practice before the class starts.

You should post your question on flute portal forums, as Geoffrey Ellis himself as well as many other rim flute players posts there.
