Raising fingers too high? ( some conflicting advice)
I’m wondering if it is much better to keep fingers pretty low. It makes sense to me to have less movement all around. But when I want to play a roll I’ve been in the habit for years to raise up the fingers high and strike hard. Does the finger to flute clearance really make a huge difference?

Tying in drones question
I am about to tie in the small ("3/8") set of David Daye drones into my bag. He supplied a vinyl bag with the kit but I think I will tie into my leather bag. He mailed a set of printed directions that cautioned about making sure that the hole is cut in a place that allows the drones to res...

Poll: How do you describe your embouchure?
I would describe the embouchure that I have used as trying to turn the corners of the mouth up and tighten them. But I see a lot of different information now on YouTube. For example, I recently stopped worrying about the corners of the mouth, but instead focused on flattening the area under the nose...

Which keys to add to keyless
I did a search but still a little confused. I have a LeHart keyless flute and am considering to add one or two keys. I play some tunes with friends that are in many keys. If I were to get 2 keys, which would be the most useful?

Re: Playing with a friend , her music in many keys, buy different keyed whistles?
Thank you all, this is certainly giving me a lot to think about. I think the first order of business for me is to get comfortable with some alternate fingerings. And also just to keep learning the Boehm flute I bought on eBay for the really tough keys. Short answer for me, just buying a bunch of whi...

Playing with a friend , her music in many keys, buy different keyed whistles?
I realize this is much more of a music theory question, but I thought I’d start here since it does relate to the whistle. I have a friend who plays piano accordion . When we get together we play about half our tunes in D, mostly Irish or Scottish tunes. But she likes to pull out some really interest...

Re: Beginner harp?
My apologies for not replying . I appreciate all of this information here. I had no idea of the complexity of the instrument. I’m assuming like the world of flutes and uileann pipes ( especially) that “budget” harps are a waste of materials. Meaning the Pakistani sets etc. found on EBay. However eve...
