Fixing Airy Flute Sound Issues 💨🎶

[@suzanneprior3251]

That was really well explained. Now I’ll be thinking of the core and cushion of my playing. Clever analogy!

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great! Thanks, Suzanne! ❤️ Happy practicing and let me know how it goes!

[@smartaleckduck4135]

I’m not a flute player, but I am a trumpet player and this advice definitely still applies to a degree, especially “the cleanest sound isn’t always the best sound”

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great! I heard a similar thing from a trumpet player on Instagram. Trumpet and flute are the same?!

[@smartaleckduck4135]

@@LanceSuzuki well, the way I see it, the “correct” sound is whatever sounds good in the moment, and that’s advice that I’d wager is applicable to every instrument, not just flute and trumpet

[@LanceSuzuki]

Well said!

[@LanceSuzuki]

LOL. 😂 Thanks!!! Glad you liked it!

[@Tim666-o5n]

This is very correct. I just bought a new flute and had trouble hitting the notes due to the new mouthpiece. I adapted and when i moved back to my old flute for comparison i suddendly had this cushion sound! I always tried to avoid it in my beginner flute, since i thought it's wrong to hear anything other than the core. But my advanced flute needs it to sound gorgeous and now i use the cushion on my beginner flute as well knowing it's the right way to play.

I CANT PLAY CAUSE MY FLUTE IS RIGHT HANDED BUT IM LEFT HANDED SO IM BLOWING ON THE WRONG SIDE SO NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT WILL STILL SOUND AIRY

[@LanceSuzuki]

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a right-handed or left-handed flute. You can only hold it in one direction…it should aim toward your right. However, you are using both hands so I’m not sure if dominant hand plays such a big role. Happy practicing!

[@elifyumm1]

When I first blow on the flute, it makes a beautiful sound, but when I continue playing, it sounds airy What should I do?

[@ixanviolin6542]

Yes i was try but still airy sound😢😢😢

[@LanceSuzuki]

Keep in mind that you will still hear the airy “cushion” sound near your ear. However, you need to increase the core enough that, from a distance the cushion is less obvious. Be sure to record yourself from a distance. Happy practicing!

[@mittenvonscrufflears7233]

So what is the core and what is the cushion?

[@annamaria.riccardi]

The core is the center of the sound and the cushion is what you build onto it to add depth and warmth.
