Hello!

Hey everyone! This is the blog of flutes and their lovers! Me being a big band geek, I thought this would be the perfect blog. I can give advice on how to fix a flute, how much they cost, the different types, and if you're a band director, where to find some good sheet music. Welcome! :)

The Concert Flute

This is the most common Flute used in bands or orchestra. It is typically a beginner Flute, for it doesn't have the weight of the Bass, or the tiny buttons of the Piccolo. It can be carried through one's life as a wonderful instrument despite its beginner's reputation. This Flute is based in the key of C, and its range is over 3 octaves, beginning at the middle C. A few of the Concert Flutes may have a B foot, which simply means they can reach a low B flat underneath the staff. One beautiful piece featuring a Flute solo is "The Light Eternal" by James Swearingen.
