Flute

Pannalal Ghosh is one of the most legendary Indian musicians to ever play the flute. Also, Rajat Prasanna is a notable current Indian flute player.

Make your fingers as though to play a low C, but add the key that's under the octave key. In other words, finger a low C but add the bottom thumb key.

When you place your flute, headjoint up, on your right leg, you're in rest position for a flute. Rest position is used in concert bands and orchestras to create an organized image for the audience. If everyone is in their rest position, the band/orchestra will look very neat.

A flute is really just a tube with a hole in it. You blow across the hole and this sets the air inside the flute vibrating, which produces the note. The player covers and uncovers other holes along the length of the flute, changing the effective length of the tube: this changes the pitch of the note.

You can get the same effect by blowing across the top of a bottle. The pitch will change if you add water to the bottle, in much the same way.

The weight of a flute varies greatly depending on what material it is made of. It can also change depending on what extras you have on it, and whether the flute has a B foot joint or a C foot joint.

It was the oldest instrument in the catergory of the woodwinds. But it made be made of silver or metal even if before it wasn't. It wasn't made into metal until the 19oos. Before that it was made with wood. It produces flow from the air against the edge.This instrument doesn't need a reed. It was the first instrument to be made out of wood. It is of ancient origin.
because the flute was originally made from wood and it is also needs wind (breath) for it to make a sound

Air

Flutes are a very simple instrument to make, probably the easiest after drums. They're just tubes with holes bored into them. So, lots of cultures figured out how to make various types of flutes very early on and incorporated them into their culture.

yes, but of course the piccolo is much smaller so your fingers are much closer together and you also have to make your lips tighter. Also, the notes on the piccolo are one octive higher than the notes on the flute, but yes, the fingerings are the same.

the shorter the length of air thats allowed through the higher the pitch and the longer the length of air thats allowed through the lower the pitch, generally the pitch determines the loudness of a sound

well, MGMT's song 'Flash Delirium' had a flute in it. Don't know who was the composer though... try google-ing it or something.

Frequency is the measure of vibrations-per-second; the musical term is pitch.

"Gross" control of pitch on the flute is accomplished by the use of holes in the body of the flute. In simple wooden flutes, the holes are covered by the pads of the fingers: in metal flutes and keyed flutes, keys (with soft leather or fiber pads) cover the holes. The basic concept is that the longer the tube, the lower the vibrations, hence the lower the pitch. The tube can be "overblown", selecting higher pitches based on the harmonic series. Between overblowing and fingering theholes, the flute can play many pitches (notes).

For each note, the pitch can be adjusted. Rolling the flute so the embouchure hole is further from the lips tends to make the pitch drop, while rolling the flute the other way sharpens the pitch. Blowing harder, but not hard enough to leap to the next overtone, will raise pitch, while blowing more softly lowers the pitch. These two actions can be combined, because blowing harder and softer also controls the loudness of the flute.

Finally, the overall pitch (tuning) of the flute can be controlled by the first joint above the fingering holes. By pulling the joint out, the flute is overall made longer, and the ovverall pitch drops. Pushing the joint in raises the overall pitch: this is how a flute is tuned. Modern metal flutes may have a mark on the tenon (the part that slips into the joint) which indicates the usually-appropriate amount to slide the joint for nominal "in tuneness", but various factors, including the player's lips, customary breath pressure, the temperature in the room and the tuning of others that the flautist is playing with, will affect the appropriate position of the tuning joint.

If you are right handed (I'm not sure if its different or not if ur left handed) you put ur left hand around the front of the flute and ur right hand around the back. U purse ur lips and blow over the top of the flute. NOT into it like a recorder or a clarinet. usually u learn the notes A, B and G first and then u can (try) to teach urself a few simple songs and progress from there. it also mite be helpful to start taking lessons if u are serious about it.

p.p.s it doesnt have anything about flute playing... it just real cwl!

When you blow across the embouchure hole, the air that goes inside the flute vibrates. When you open a hole, the air is released from being trapped in the flute and goes out of that way. the air that vibrates is sometimes called the air-spring, and the shorter it is,the higher it is.

Saxophone is considered to be one of the easier wind instruments to learn. That doesn't mean it's easy, but with decent instruction and reasonable effort, you can learn to play simple melodies in a few weeks and play throughout the primary range of the sax in a year or so. There's always more you can learn, though, and that makes it fun. I've been playing for over twenty years, and I'm still betting better.

Being that the age of this flute is over 50 years, it has probably reached its lifetime. The M2 flutes are a student model as well, also taking a chunk out of its value. Depending on the metals with which it was made, either silver or nickel plated, the value may vary quite a bit. The nickel plated M2's are not as resonant and tend to play fuzzier than the silver variety. However, old flutes do tend to fall into desrepair more often and may be very expensive to bring back to playability. If you are considering purchasing an old M2, I would advise against it. If you are considering upgrading to a newer flute and/or selling your Gemeinhardt, I highly recommend a Yamaha flute. They have a variety of models and a price range for everyone. Your M2 might sell for 100-180 on eBay, again depending on its condition and metals. For more information about the general value of this instrument, try going to eBay or an online dealer of used instruments and check out the going rate for your 1960 instrument. I hope I helped!

The highest note a modern flute can play is a high F. It is 2 octaves higher than the F written on top line of the staff. The fingering is your 2 middle fingers down along with the D# trill key, no thumb. This note isn't usually written except in very advanced music because it requires a very strong and precise air flow to produce the sound.

Most soprano recorders have 7 tone holes plus the thumb hole, but I have a Russian made instrument with only six tone holes. It's in German fingering and is played like a "D" penny whistle except it has the convenience of the thumb hole to facilitate transition between the registers and to make the high notes easier to play.

You can, but what I always do to avoid the potency of the hand sanitizer is just put some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and spray it on the mouthpiece.

Mother Teresa was born as Agnese Gonxhe Bojaxhiu. She was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun with Indian citizenship. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata (Calcutta) in India in 1950. She dedicated her whole life to helping the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then throughout other countries.

By 1970s, she was internationally famed for being a humanitarian and an advocate for the poor and the helpless and she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. At the time of her death in 1997, Missionaries of Charity was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counseling programs, orphanages and schools.

She was praised by many individuals, governments, and organizations, many of which follow in her footsteps to help better the world and helping those in need. However, despite her work, she received a diverse range of criticism including objections by various individuals and groups against the proselytizing focus of her work - a conversion to a new religion or deity. Several medical journals also criticized the standard of medical care in her hospices and concerns were raised in the nature in which donated money was spent.

Despite the criticisms of her work, following her death, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

The flute (and there are a number of varieties of this instrument, by the way) can be heard by using the link to a brief flute performance posted on YouTube.

The sound of the flute is made by the passage of air across a metal edge (tone hole) in the mouthpiece of a tube (in the "classical" or concert flute).

A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the flute.

I auctually do play the flute. The sound (which does depend on the kind of flute) can be from a high pitch whistle, to a low pitch roar. There are many keys on the flute, which can ary the sound, and the way that you do blow on the mouth piece also can vary the sound. Maybe you should go check i out on youtube, because it is hard to describe. Ther person above gave a description, from what they could do and they also gave sugestions.

The first recorded use of the word in the English language was in 1613 and referred to a person - someone who computed.

The first recorded use of the word for an electrical item which did the computation for you was 1897.

Although Charles Babbage had devised what was effectively a mechanical computer in 1837, the term, 'computer' was not used for it. He called it an 'Analytical Engine'.

The flute is the only woodwinds instrument that does not use a reed. Also only common wind instrument that the mouth does not wrap around. You can get open-holed and closed-holed flutes. That's all I can think of off the top of my head! Hope this helped!
