I was thinking of getting into traverso and that "pure" sound is exactly the type of sound I want! Great demo, Kate👍🏼

Thans Kate. In 3 minutes, in a very simple way, you showed us the bottom line.

Thank you so much! This video has been a great contribution to my flute playing. Especially the Renaissance flute. It's so simple and difficult at the same time. It reminds me of the famous quote from Euclid, "There is no royal road to geometry."

Its interesting because although a pure tone is good for centering, I must admit I look for a reedier buzzy tone at times and I quite like the overtones that can result when playing on the harsher brittle end. It depends on the music.

I've only recently discovered the Voices of Music videos and have been totally enchanted by the beautiful sound of the Baroque Flute. I was wondering how much of its sound is due to its general design, a specific instrument, and the particular musician. Kate Clark's demo provided just the insight I was interested in. Thanks!

Thank you. But once I make a mouth whole smaller or bigger the pitch changes. How is the pitch controlled then?

Kate, i think I might need a little more than just three minutes of instruction to get anywhere near your sound on the baroque flute! Haha. I appreciate any advice you have. God bless.

@Frederer59 3 жыл бұрын

Yabbut, there's more variables than simply aperture size and air volume in a beautiful tone. Tongue placement, the pharynx/sinuses, other facial muscles. The critical muscle of the aperture (incisivis speriorus) is very small and can easily be overworked. An overworked IS muscle is how "bad days" are made. But still getting rid of noise saves air. Thanks for your post.

I love all videos Miss Kate Clark using this boxwood flute. May I know the name of the maker? Thanks!

It seems to be the woman who plays solo fife in the middlesex county volunteers. Is it exact? Because i love her sound. It's very interesting. Is it the same with a fife?

@traversist 5 жыл бұрын

The fife sergeant of MCV is Sarah MacConduibh - this is Kate Clark, a skilled baroque flutist. But yes, this advice goes for all transverse wind instruments!

@Jemtheflute 9 жыл бұрын

Great lesson, but hardly exclusive to the Baroque flute - applies to all transverse flutes from Böhm to bansuri. :-)

@Jemtheflute 9 жыл бұрын

Depends what you mean by "pure". This lesson is talking about clean sounds in terms of no hiss or whistle. I don't think bansuri players want those either. The point here is not how harmonic/overtone laden or not the sound is.

@jcortese3300 3 жыл бұрын

I thought the same thing -- I was looking forward to some advice particular to the Baroque flute, more "here's what you have to change if you're coming from a standard flute." How to work with a smaller liphole, how to finagle a good G#, that sort of thing. Oh, well.

@activistarts7722 6 жыл бұрын

The flute makers name in the description is Carlo Palanca not Carlos Palanca...that is a different famous person.

Merci pour l'exemple sonore...ce que j'ai apprécié ds la musique ancienne c'est le goût pour l'aspect artisanal de la facture d'instruments et l'importance de la nuance et de la respiration au cours de phrases instrumentales parfois très simples , afin tout en étant amateur très modeste , de se faire plaisir un minimum tout en progressant par amour d'un instrument .
