The flute is a musical instrument of the woodwind group. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across an opening or embouchure.

A musician who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, a flautist, or a flutist.

A. Okay. You open your flute case. You see three metal pieces: A big one, a medium one, and a small one. 1.) Take the biggest piece. That is the center piece, or the one that goes in the middle. Take the medium in your other hand and gently slide it into the middle piece. If it wont go in, try it at another angle but NEVER force it. The metal is really thin and can get bent easily. 2.) Once you have them assembled, grab the smallest piece. Gently slide it onto the bottom of the biggest piece,or the whole thing really. Same situation as before, NEVER force it. Once they're connected, observe the smallest piece. See how it has a little round ball? And notice how the middle piece has one too? Turn the smallest piece counter clockwise so… [cont.]

Is playing the irish flute in D similar to the C concert flute?
Q. I already play flute. Is the fingering etc basically the same on a basic keyless Irish flute? not a whistle...Irish wooden flute.

A. I play flute, too, and I went to Ireland with my school band this year and bought an Irish flute. For the most part, it's similar, but for some flats and sharps, you'll have to half-hole certain holes or use other combinations (it's more similar to the recorder, which is also really similar to the concert flute).

How can i play the flute louder louder?
Q. How can I play louder, I haven't played the flute in over a year and I can't seem to play loud anymore. Any advise?

A. Do NOT listen to anybody who tells you to blow harder. That is completely WRONG! You need to make the air move faster. Yes, there is a difference! Blowing harder is just like blowing a bubble. All of the energy behind it is coming out of your mouth, and only your mouth. This is wrong, and it can make for terrible sounding flute playing. Making the air move faster involves usage of the diaphragm. You must support the tone with your diaphragm a lot. The best way I can think to explain this is this: Make the air leave your lungs at a faster rate. You lungs should empty quicker. Your diaphragm is the muscle that allows you to do this. This is part of why musicians are always told to support the tone with the diaphragm. The energy should… [cont.]
