I want to learn to play the flute. I am trying to get my embouchure, but I am always airy. Sometimes I can play middle GAB notes, but most of the time not.
 
Giving up on the violin business. There is too much garbage, and too many people doing garbage. I have turned my attention to flutes. Because with the flutes you know the make and model, + condition. You know what it's worth, and what a overhauled flute can sell for. Not so many garbage deals.

Right now a buyer defaulted on my violin with Tarisio, Tarisio said they where in contact with him and expecting him to pay, but he has not done it yet. If I don't get the money from the violin I will not get my bills paid this month.
 
I played the flute all through high school and then in community band later in life. I played for years after that at church but my last move I put my flute in storage, but I will be getting it out Saturday.
 
So to smile or frown. The USA teachers say to frown, but the Yamaha tutorial says to smile. Looks like the Japanese smile to play the flute. Also, are they using different fingerings?

I personally have found smiling works best for me, but I am in the habit of frowning now.
