My wife is always asking me why I need to have so many flutes as well, which I believe is a related question to "which one is your favorite flute." The reason I say they are related is that I answer to her and others with the answer you posted above. I started collecting quenas and antaras from South America. Now I collect NAF's and any other flute I like because they all convey different feelings or moods and that's the beauty of the flute in general. <br />Thanks again for what you do for the genre.<br />EnriqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11087337.post-86802368139219024032009-11-14T17:25:56.690-08:002009-11-14T17:25:56.690-08:00Look at the articles page on my website for finger...Look at the <a href="http://www.cedarmesa.com/echoesfromtheroad" rel="nofollow">articles</a> page on my website for fingering charts and other tips for playing these instruments.Scott Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000030390244270982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11087337.post-22853497320990968622009-11-04T21:28:17.034-08:002009-11-04T21:28:17.034-08:00Hi, I just found your site and the audio and video...Hi, I just found your site and the audio and video clips are wonderful. <br /><br />Today, a friend gave me a plains flute...about 18" long, with 6 finger holes, and it was listed as being in the key of G#. I tested the bottom note against the piano, and the bottom note is actually an A.<br /><br />While I can blow and make a sweet sound on this flute, I would like to know if modern-made plains flutes have a general scale and fingering structure. Whenever possible, I prefer to be able to play written music (I play flute in my church, and use the hymnal mostly)...and I'm wondering if that will be possible with this flute.<br /><br />Do you know of any fingering charts that might be applicable? Feel free to respond via email - lahudsonchef (at) yahoo.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
