The stream of air that you blow over the mouthpiece creates vibrations that are amplified by the space inside the flute. When you cover or uncover the air holes, it affects the tone produced by the flute.

Depending on your goals and how much time you have to practice, it could take anywhere from a few months to several years. The more time you can devote to practicing each day, the faster you will get comfortable with your new instrument!

How do I blow into the gold flute?

Sailor Rayla

Community Answer

You can blow into it as you would your standard Yamaha flute. Lips more relaxed for lower sounds and lips tighter for higher sounds.
