Cool. I don't know what an E Mechanism is...

Thanks for the advice... I will take a peek at Viva Woodwind for extra.

Hm. I can't find the Larsson either... pity...

Argh! I want to do music practice now *Faints* I never thought I'd say that... Anyway, I can't play trombone coz my lip is knackered & I can't play flute coz my embouchre (sp?) is trombonified

It is a little extra bit on the flute that either closes or opens an extra hole (I can never remember...) when you play high register E to make it easier to play


We're a bad influence

Embouchure lol

I have 4 hours of brass band to look forward to in 10 minutes lol

I usually play my flute better after I have had a session on trombone, guess everyone is different

4 hour band practice?!? That's a pretty long rehersal ...

It is... I was once in an Orchestra which rehearsed for two hours one evening a night, and I could hardly stand it. Then again, that was Orchestral stuff. I could probably manage a Wind Orch. or Brass Band.

The music course I've been doing included 6 and a half hours playing time per day, for three days. Hence my tiredness.



How odd. I can't play flute well after playing trombone. But as you say, everyone is different!

Ouch . 6 and a half hours a day?!?! That's surely got to hurt a little? Especially with brass/wind instruments ... does it not hurt your mouth?

It certainly does. Today each time I stopped playing I had to nudge my front teeth into normal alignment after being pushed back a smidge by the constant pressing of my mouthpiece. I also have a brace on my lower teeth, which causes a lot of pain on the first day - not so bad once you get used to it. But yeah, it really kills by the end of the afternoon, whereby I find myself struggling to play fairly easy notes well. It's good fun, though.

Yeh, atleast you enjoy it. Imagine if you were forced to go, it would make it so much worse by the pain of it lol

True! I could never hate it, though. It's great! Orchestras on the other hand are not so fun... not sure why... I just don't get on so well with them. It's ok if they're playing fun things like Crown Imperial and 633 Squadron, but otherwise... hmmm...

*comes back on thread after net works again*

Hello history lover!

Regarding flute upgrade, it depends how much you have to spend!
