I named mine Abigail
but as for threats, that's not fair. Unless you get really mad and threaten to use high notes....

Hi, I"m Gurgle.
I've been playing flute for, *counts* almost four years.
In my few years of playing flute the largest amount of flute I've played with was eight ((my first year evey)) and my smalled number was two ((trying to play over about 9 saxes))
My Flutes name is Lawrence and high notes are my worst enemy.

It may also be your flute. Do you have a student model? If so, your flute is also making it harder for you to play high notes. I just got a new flute (an intermediate model) and the high and low notes come out way eaiser and sound better too. I've been playing flute for 7 years

Uhhh...
I've played for flute 6 years..
I'm a guy..
...and I'm straight >.>
Anyone else like that here? I wish I had other guys to talk about flutes about... I feel left out when my friends talk about their french horns, or trumpets, or saxaphones...
sad

I think the shop charged me somewhere from 30 to 50 bucks for that to be done..... I forget since that was half a year ago. Too bad you cant buy real items with gaia gold.....

Just got back from a flute lesson! (Which I bombed, btw)
I'm Lovely Rita. This is my 3rd year playing flute. it was my 1st year doing Marching Band too, which is crazy cool.
I'm 2nd chair in Concert Band, and my flute's name is Edwardo.
I've been having some issues with breathing. I have asthma, but usually it doesn't get in the way. I've just noticed that I never seem to take in enough air recently. I do theater and I took ballet for 7 years (Which requires way more breathing than you'd think) And also some yoga, so usually I don't have lots of breath problems Anyone know what could be going on? It's making my tone sound like total crap

To get all my pads replaced here, they charge $300. And I really need to do it, but, you know, expensivenosity.
