[@yaprakfirarda]

Hello there I'm just going to start, what tone and what kind of pan flute should I buy, I would appreciate it if you could help me, thanks in advance

[@Panflute]

Hi! Most people use G major pan flutes, and so do I. But it’s all about own opinions. :) i would suggest you either a alto or tenor pan flute, as you are an adult. 🎶

[@yaprakfirarda]

hello I am from turkey My name is Sinan Is it better to have pann flute bamboo? What does G/F/A tones mean? Which is better for a beginner? of course it's a good thing, I'll use it for many years

[@Panflute]

Nice to hear that you have started a new hobby! ⭐️ i gues you mean what kind of pan flute would be good? Most people use G major pan flute. It means that the tubes form G major scale. Bamboo is in my opinion more rich in sound than for instance many wooden pan flute. But everybody has their personal opinion. The best would be to try yourself and decide. I would suggest to you some options like for instance Ulrich Herkenhoff pan flutes, Steffen Küttner pan flutes and HORA pan flutes (company).

[@saniokarpun3198]

Danke! What is my first ringtone to choose for a beginner?

[@Panflute]

Hi! I guess you mean what song would you play first as a beginner? And I guess you don’t have my book? In that case I would suggest to check my website: www.stefan.fi There is ”video lessons” link. There you can find free PDF. Start from ”Pipe to pipe” 😀

[@vichna_slava_ukraini]

Thank you!

[@bridgetbarter4123]

Thank you so much for your videos they are really helping a new player I have a 22 pipe flute and am really struggling getting a decent sound from the 4 highest pipes doing quite well with the others using TUU Have not been successful in finding a tutor in the UK and wonder whether a usual silver flute tutor would be able to help with that just wondered what your thoughts are on that?

[@Panflute]

Hi! Thanks for liking my youtube lessons! 🤗 The highest notes are always the trickiest. You need hard work with diaphragm and then the embouchure should be tight and small so that the pressure is enough and air stream narrow and forcefull. Have great fun with those high notes and use the ear plugs! 🎶😀☁️

[@cristian_prundeanu]

Thank you for making these excellent lessons! As I'm learning, I find that it's easier to make a tone with "PUUU" (starting from closed lips) instead of "TUUU", especially on the wider low note pipes. Is it wrong? Why? Also I frequently overblow by accident on wider pipes (very high whistle tone instead of the regular tone comes out). How can I improve that?

[@Panflute]

Hi! And thaks for questions! ”Puuuu” is tricky when you need to play faster music. And also I would not recommend it because your embouchure is changing then all the time, it is not stable. Overblowing is because you tend to blow with too much pressure or/and too narrow embouchure. Try having larger hole in the mouth and good, stable diaphfragm.

[@hectorspanflutesecrets]

Stefan when you making a video about the mouth exercises to loosen up the lips properly to flow throw the pan flute ! :) Hurryyyy I'll be 96 soon! darlingggg LOL! :). For real I watch you and other professionals doing this and I always remember when you said in a message like 5 years ago when I started to think of Jim Carrey .

[@Panflute]

And ”Jim - system” is always important. It makes also music more fluent and is healthier for neck and head. I have now added this to my To Do - videos list. Hopefully I have this year time to make some new videos! Thanks for the feedback and for the good question! 🤗

[@hectorspanflutesecrets]

@@Panflute Looking forward to it! Although I have Mariana Preda as my coach lately 2 years now and 2 years with Marlies De Roos I always come back to you and I understand what you're saying thanks to my Coaching with the professionals like yourself , And Hannah Slubeck for a short time since she's one A very long Tour in Germany . I still cant get the Jim Carry effect . BUT its my goal to loosen up like that . Thank UUU! :) U Rock!

[@hectorabreu7657]

Stefan make a video inn how to flirts with notes and yes body language while playing and still keeping the professional posture with the pan flute . U be fun to learn from and watch... I enjoy ur lessons so much ! :). I want to be U! in the Pan flute in my own way in a romantic playful elegant way. I watch u everyday .....

[@vincentveerman9073]

Hey guys, I bought a pan flute 2 weeks ago and I feel like I can produce some decent notes at this point. The problem, however, is that I can't seem to produce notes longer than 2/3 seconds without them losing consistency (and even then I only last 4/5 seconds). Has anyone else faced this problem? I wonder if it are my lips/mouth (making a too big hole and thus losing air too quickly), or if I just need to pracitice my diaphragmatic breathing. In both cases, any tips or exercises are appreciated! PS really good and clear videos! Definitely make me motivated to practice more haha

[@Panflute]

Thank for question. You had there at one possible thing of what might be the issue (the mouth position with the air stream hole). But there are also several other possibilities like for instance: Too less air in lungs, using too less pressure, not using diaphragm correctly, not blowing properly into tube (too high, too low, not in the middle of the tube). But the thing is that the answer reveals when seeing and hearing how you perform. Also 3 seconds of good quality sound might be good at this point if you are indeed novice to all wind instruments.... evolution will happen when practicing correctly. ✨👍✨

[@emiliana3433]

SUNT ANDRAGOSTITA DE NAI...DAR NU CUNOSC LIMBA ENGLEZA. IN LIMBA ROMANA NU VA ESTE POSIBIL SA FACETI CATEVA TUTORIAL BASE? AR FI FENOMENAL

[@Panflute]

I-mi pare bine sa aud ca va place naiul mult. ✨🧡✨ Incercati va rog cum merge la setari videoului subtitrare in limba romana, poate va ajuta putin. In viitor o sa incerc sa fie subtitrarile englezesti corectate manual ca sa fie mai bune automat si in alte limbi.

Hello Mr. Stefan , you are an excellent teacher!.I am following your panflute lessons regularly . I am a beginner who has purchased an Alto 15 pipes panflute.I am from India.It will be Very helpful if you let me know how to follow music notations given in the book--"You Can Teach Yourself PANFLUTE".,by Costel Puscoiu. Am anxiously waiting for your reply.Thank you, sir.

Hello! Thanks for following my lessons and for nice words. 🎶🤓🎶 I am not familiar with that book so I don’t know how to answer. That book is made by Costel Puscoiu. 🧡

[@adrianadriano4076]

Felicitări domnule Stanciu. De ce nu faceți aceste lecții video în limba maternă? În limba română? Sunt atâția tineri care ar vrea sa învețe acest instrument și nu au posibilități financiare. Ca să cumperi un nai în România pentru unii părinți înseamnă o mică avere iar profesorii cer niște preturi de ......... Foarte mulți nu vorbesc engleza, deci nu pot învăța aproape nimic din aceste video. Bine ca profită străinii de lecțiile dumneavoastră gratuie . Dacă nu ar fi fost marele maestru Gheorghe Zamfir sa facă cunoscut naiul românesc în lume și școala românească de nai , poate că acum ați fi predat naiul peruan. Felicitări încă o dată.

[@Panflute]

Multumesc pentru mesaj. Limba engleza este cea mai solicitata limba din lume si asa acopera cel mai multa lume. Limba materna a mea este si finlandeza si nu am ales nici pe limba aceea pentru videourile respective. KZbin are la setari subtitrari automatice care poate oricine sa incerce cum ar merge in diferite limbi. Si din cauza aceasta limba engleza este cea mai buna solutie. Cam nu inteleg ce treaba are Zamfir cu toate aceste, si nu inteleg poanta voastra, dar va doresc toate cele bune si speram sa gaseasca si multi romani tineri videourile aceste si sa invete acest instrument frumos. ✨🎵🧡✨

[@valentingeorgescu613]

Frumoasa intrebare ! Vreau sa cred ca muzica nu are o nationalitate, este un mod universal de transmitere sentimente placacute de toti ascultatorii indeferent de limba pe care o vorbesc ! youtube are optiunea se subtitrare in diverse limbi ( nu foarte precisa traducerea intradevar). Cine cu adevarat, vrea sa afle ceva nou sau sa invete ceva, vor gasi o sursa de informare online .deci nimeni nu profita de nimeni in aceste lecii! Norocul nostru , al romanilor e ca maestrul Gheorghe Zanfir e roman si mai sunt inca romani care fac muzica de calitate cu naiul !Multumim Stefan Stanciu pentru timpul si efortul tau in aceste lectii !

[@mrchatelin4770]

Where do you buy your panflute please ?

[@BeinGiza]

Great lesson. Thanks Stefan! :D Oh, your video just showed in my timeline on time! I will order my first Pan Flute tomorrow. As a beginner, which Pan Flute is suitable for me? I'm thinking of buying a 22-Pipe Grand Tenor in C from Brad White. I saw it on his KZbin channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjHnJmBrZ52o6M

[@Panflute]

Great to hear! 👍 I would suggest to you either tenor or alto pan flute. Personally I prefer G major pan flutes (alto from G, tenor from C or D). But that’s only my opinion. 😂 good luck and have a great time with oan flute! 🎶

Dar in limba româna nu vrei să ne explici ? Am vazut multi din America de Sud care explică foarte bine si cum se construieste naiul, dar nu inteleg bine ce spun, iar cei care dau informati în limba română, dau puține informatii, au multe secrete.

[@Panflute]

Mersi pentru intrebare. Am ales limba engleza ca sa fie pentru cat de multi oameni posibil din lume. Aceas intrebare am primit de super multe ori si in Finlanda, ca de ce nu fac / am facut in limba finlandeza. Si tot din acelas cauza. Inteleg poanta voastra, dar am ales engleza sa fie international. I-mi pare bine ca si cei care vorbesc romana ar dori sa vada videourile aceste in limba respectiva. Sper macar sa am timp candva sa fac subtitrari la aceate videouri ca sa fie apoi posibil la toate limbile de a viziona. Si sper ca sa am sansa sa vin in Romania si Moldova sa predau cursuri candva. 🎶
