Trevor James Flutes

Some types of flute are played by blowing air into the flute and are held vertically. Wooden flutes produce a different sound to metal flutes.

Types of Trevor James flute

There are two main categories of flute:

• Side-blown - held horizontally and played by blowing air across the mouthpiece. Also known as a transverse flute

There are six main types of flute:

• Bass Flute in C – pitched one octave lower than the ordinary flute
• Alto Flute in G – the sound is different to the pitch – a 4th above its sound – and is a transposing instrument
• Tenor Flute – pitched one step lower than the C flute and is also known as the Flute D’Amore in B flat
• Concert Flute in C – its range is over three octaves starting from the middle C
• Soprano Flute in E Flat – the same as a Concert Flute in C, it has a range of three octaves
• Treble Flute in G – starting from G1, this flute ranges over three octaves and is a transposing flute with a pitch a 4th lower than its sound

Assembling a flute

There are three parts to a flute - the body holds the keys to which the head of the flute one end and the foot joint is attached to the other.

Once assembled, slight adjustments may need to be made to the sound before the flute can be played.

Caring for a flute

Once played, disassemble the flute for cleaning. Thread a cloth through the slot at the top of, wrap around and over the top to completely cover the tuning rod. Gently slide the cloth-covered rod through each section of the flute without twisting until all moisture is removed.

Polish the exterior of the flute with a different cloth, cleaning the keys and body until all fingerprints and any other dirt is removed. Clean the lip plate and the pads of the keys with care. Store in its carry case at room temperature in a dry environment.
