A careful examination of the flute fingering for the notes D ♯ 6 through G ♯ 6 reveals that they are actually a combination of third and fourth harmonic fingerings. For example, the D ♯ fingering is like the low D ♯ 4 with the addition of the G ♯ key vented, for which D ♯ 6 is the third harmonic.
The flute is perhaps the oldest musical instrument, other than the human voice itself. There are very many flutes, both traversely blown and end-blown "fipple" flutes, currently produced which are not built on the Boehm model. The fingering system for the saxophone closely resembles the Boehm system.
The alto flute is in the key of G, and the low register extends to the G below middle C; its highest note is a high G (4 ledger lines above the treble staff). The bass flute is an octave lower than the concert flute, and the contrabass flute is an octave lower than the bass flute.
F ♮ is an uncommon note in traditional music for the five-key flute, but where it appears the short F key is sometimes awkward to play. The keys of the 19th-century five-key D flute include an E ♭ key, F key, G ♯ key, and either a C key or a long left hand additional F key.
It is normally in the key of G, with G4 being the lowest note. It produces a very "textured" and "dark" timbre because of the length-to-bore ratio of about 16 to 20 (subsequently causing difficulty in the upper register), which is very unlike the tone of the Western concert flute with a length-to-bore ratio of about 38 to 20.
This chart is a general guide, but by no means a definitive or complete fingering chart for the recorder, an impossible task. Rather, it is the basis for a much more complex fingering system, which is still being added to today. Some fonts show miniature glyphs of complete recorder fingering charts in TrueType format. [51]
A Flute method is a type of specific textbook-style pedagogy for learning to play the flute. It often contains fingering charts, scales , exercises, and occasionally etudes . These exercises are often presented in different keys in ascending order to aid in difficulty, known as methodical progression, or to focus on isolated aspects like ...
Due to the underlying physics of sound production, flutes have a natural "cut" or a discontinuity when going from the lowest note to the highest note. This discontinuity appears between the notes "ga" and "ma" on a Carnatic flute and between "Ma" and "Pa" for a Hindustani flute (mainly because of the fingering technique differences).
