My neighbors haven't tried to assassinate me yet, which means my RO is not strong enough

Also here's an idea for a video: "How long does it take to get used to a new flute?"

Great video as always d(^ ^ o) In terms of technique what specifically should I be doing or thinking when trying to make these different sounds? For example, for loud Otsu no RO is it just a case of blowing harder? I often find that I end up slipping into Kan then. And for the warm sound is it just blowing softer? In that case I find that my sound often just becomes more weak than warm. Where specially is the change in tone initiated? The embouchure? The shape or the inner mouth? The position of the tongue? I’ve tried messing around a little with each but I’m not sure what specific effect each has on the sound.

On my membership I have videos about this if you go through the series but what I can say now to help is that is has to do with core strength and keeping it engaged! Happy practicing :-)
