Chromatic scale
The flute can be played like a brass instrument by removing
the head joint and buzzing directly into the barrel of the body. The
effect works best on the lowest fingered pitches. The pitch will vary
depending on the amount of lip control the flutist can maintain. This
is very tiring for the lips, and can adversely affect normally-produced
flute notes afterwards, so composers are advised to use this technique
very sparingly. |
