-insert choice word here- low d flat Dx

Lyca · December 2009

Okay, so I'm a flute player. If anyone has ever heard a flute you know that we usually play in the higher register. Well for a piece in our winter concert- snow angels - i appear to be the ONLY flute playing the lower register of the split part. I'm a little pissed no one else will even ATTEMPT the lower part but thats another matter entirely. :evil: The problem is -insert choice word here- low d flat. It's freakin below the staff Dx I dont mind trying to challenge myself but geez I sometimes hit it and other times you either a-cant hear me or b-its really scary O.o If I didnt love my flute or have to use my music I think I would throw it aacross the rooom and rip the music into tiny pieces and BURN it!! Grrr - an hour and a half of one bleepin note and it its still screwed up. The worst part is despite my practice, request for help and being the only lower register flute I get yelled at >.<

Wow i know how you feel...I'm a flute player also...Got to get it fixed..It won't play below the low F

Haha, not too long ago one of my keys wasnt closing all the way so my f all around wouldn't play so I know what thats like. We do alot of our tuning on f so it really sucked. But I showed my director and he fixed in like 4 seconds lol.

Lol our director is at honor band with some people as we have our assistant band director who doesn't know much about flutes...Are your brass favored in band for you?

Ehhh not really - during marching band the brass, pit, and battery had instructors and ww didnt have a personal insrtuctor - but usually if we need help we get it =3

For us only the battery, guard and majorettes had instructors..Usually they made the ww march when we needed just as much help as the brass but we never got it..>=(

I know the feeling lol. I'm no flute but I am a french horn. And playing in the lower or upper for us is near impossible! And jumping from a F to a high G is no easy task in the right parts. I feel your pain
