Considerations for choosing a flute

When choosing a flute, the quality and type of the flute should be considered. The quality of the flute depends not only on the quality of the flute itself, but also on the level of production. When selecting and purchasing, inspection should be carried out.

  • Check the bamboo quality of the flute. The flute pipe requires solid bamboo (old bamboo pattern). Bamboo grain is fine. The body is straight and round. Generally, the head of the flute is slightly thicker than the tail, but the difference should not be too large. The flute is moderately thick. The inner wall of the flute tube is flat and smooth. No worms, cracks, etc. on the whole body. The shape is beautiful and generous. These requirements can be identified visually.
  • Check the intonation of the flute. The method is to test the sound of the standard flute or tune instrument (accordion, electronic organ, etc.) according to the tuning instrument. After the tonic is determined, the accuracy of the entire pronunciation of the flute is checked according to the interval relationship. You can also blow each overtone to see if it is easy to sound and clean. Checking for overtones is also a good way to check real-tone intonation.
  • Check the volume of the flute. Generally speaking, the louder is better. A flute with a loud volume has a strong resonance and strong vibration. Sometimes there is a tingling feeling in the fingers when playing.
  • Check the sound of the flute. The general requirements for timbre are loose, thick, round and bright, which depends on the quality of the flute itself, and on the other hand, it is also closely related to the film technology and playing skills.
  • Check the flute's sensitivity. Generally speaking, it is better to have the breath to the sound, and the pronunciation not to be sluggish, and the quicker the response, the better.
