FLUTE Comparison: 4 Flutes + Different Materials 

❤😮😊

Thanks that's what I'm looking for

ur gucci bro.

Great

I felt the same...

Omg same 😂

There are a variety of specialty head joints for the concert flute, such as wooden or even one that buzzes like a Chinese Dizi. These can be easily swapped for instant character!

The glass/Hall flute was a bit more "breathy" and lacks the clarity of the Boehm (silver) flute (opaque material notwithstanding). It's counter intuitive but the Boehm flute actually has more audible higher harmonics and in a sense is more "rich" than the Hall flute.

That's not exactly true. It depends on what you are playing. I play all of them and more, and I can assure you that: there is not perfect instrument for everything or even almost everything: each instrument its field.

Same I was impressed by how deep and mellow the glass sounded

Yup! I have one up with shakuhachi, xiao, danso and quenacho. More dizi videos are coming soon.

Hi! I'm happy to answer your question. 🙂My question to you is, is there a reason she has to play flute? Maybe there's another instrument she'd rather try. In regard to the question about playing bansuri or dizi in band, sadly I don't think that would work for a few different reasons. Firstly, they have a diatonic not chromatic scale. That basically means that she wouldn't have access to all the pitches she would need to be successful in band. You can buy flutes in different keys, but she (and her teachers) would have to know how to change what holes to cover and leave open on the flute to accommodate playing in various keys. For instance, on one flute, covering all 6 finger holes could sound a D, while on about it would sound a Bb and on and on. I don't think that the teachers would be able to help her out with an instrument they're not familiar with, especially with so many students in the room. Secondly, there is a different way to hold ones fingers/hands when playing that is completely different from the orchestral flute. Playing it with the same finger position as orchestral flute can be quite difficult. Thirdly, we can only play flutes that are as low as the stretch of our fingers allows. I am quite familiar with beginning band books. She might need to play in a different octave from the rest of the flutes because she might not be able to reach the finger holes of the flutes that would play the correct note in the appropriate octave. Finally, circling back to what I first asked, does she have to play flute? The reason I ask is because the trickiest thing about flute is getting the initial sound. If she's not at all motivated to try and practice until she gets sound, she might become very frustrated and in for a long year. Literally any other instrument is easier to get an initial sound on...even if it's a...not good sound. Heh. It's a better place to start than with the frustration of not being able to get a sound at all. I'm sorry not have a more positive answer for you. I wish I could say, YES this absolutely a solution for beginning band. Wishing you and your kiddo all the best.

Honestly, they each have a unique color and sound. The second, glass, one surprised me the most. I was expecting something with a bunch of timbre. It sounds really pretty, though.

OH oh! HAHA. Careful there. ;-)

Thanks so much. If you purchase flutes where D is 6 fingers down, then the fingerings are very similar but a few are different

Thanks lady! Hi!!!

Generally, the hole on the simple-system "Irish" flute is more rounded and maybe slightly smaller. There's normally no lip plate either.

I understand you're perspective. This was one of the first videos I made quite a while ago as a "tone color" comparison for composers that were hiring we to record on their projects and were basing their tone color choices on samples or midi...which doesn't usually represent the tone color of the flute accurately. It wasn't a video meant to represent the full capabilities of each instrument. That would be a very different and much longer video.

Pay tension to the sounds of them then it’s easy if you have a good touch of sounds of flute music

01airbender thanks for watching 😁👍

Yes I am! ☺️ The purpose of the video was to show the raw tone color of the flutes, not to dive into all the playing techniques and melodic differences attributed to the cultures from which they derive.

probably not

@@AshleyJarmack Hello mam I wanted to learn playing dizi flute Can you please tell which flute I should buy bignner level or study study or professional level flute Alo I wanted to know what is defference between d amd c flute

Nurwind duduks 👍

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks so much for watching. The lowest note on the flute is D, but bansuri makers usually name the tonic as 3 fingers down instead of all 6. Therefore this flute is sold as a flute in G, but can easily be played in either D or G. I have no problem closing the last hole with my ring finger, but I use pipers grip to play many of my instruments. If one is coming from a classical flute background, a person might find it a bit more difficult to cover the finger holes as the bansuris get larger.

I've heard mix opinions on the glass flute. Just wondering your thoughts on it? I play the phone whistle and would like to explore the D glass flute. Thanks in advance. You're a great musician by the way thank you for your educational video!!

@@gypsyman535 Hi! Thanks so much. :-) I do enjoy my glass flutes. Just like anything that is handmade, and blown glass at that, they all play just a little bit different. Additionally, everyone plays just a little bit different, so the same flute might feel different in the hands of another person. I am quite happy with the ones I have and have used them in professional playing situations. They are just one more color to choose from in my flute collection. ;-)

Im a flutist myself tho i only play the indian bansuri the scale of fute she's using is g scale flute bc in a bansuri scale of the flute is determined but closing the first 3 holes But the lowest note and the highest note still is d

It sounds like a song from a show - Águila Roja - Canción de Margarita. But I'm not sure :/

Didn’t she say at the beginning of the video that it was “Scarborough fair”?

@@lovelobster8475 oh you're right : d
