Fingering Acoustic schematic Non-specialist introduction
to acoustic impedance |
This fingering is comparable to that for G#4 except for the use of the thumb key and first finger keys as register holes. Comparing this with the G#4 impedance spectrum, we see that the fourth minimum is little changed. The third is shallower and unplayable. The first minimum plays C#5 and the second ~C6. Combinations of these three notes may be played simultaneously as multiphonics.
Acoustic measurements are available for these flutes - modern B, modern C, classical C, classical D, classical flared, baroque Sound clips are available for modern B, classical flared and baroque |
