>1st octave is already hard enough by trying to figure out how to blow the thing>2nd octave has the same fingering with 1st octave but you'll be troubled by the embouchure and the wind speed, you blow wrong and suddenly you play it wrong by an octave>3rd octave and beyond has an entirely different fingering that moves a lot which makes you wonder how the hell can anyone play fast passage in this range, also prone to sound very annoying like a broken alarmfucking hell
>>130016277Just practice
not as bad as the oboe.
>>130016277Try the skin flute anon, it sounds more in your wheelhouse
>>130016277Yeah, real instruments are hard as fuck. That's why most people choose computers and mumbling.
>>130016277Shit. I wanted to learn flute, but was not aware of this. I played alto sax, which was easy as fuck. We gots an octave key and the fingerings are consistent.
>>130016277if this monkey can play it, why can't you
>>130017482She's a talented musician despite being a fatso
Just be thick as a brick
>>130017526This. Ian Anderson's playing got boring once he learned to play properly.
>>130016277I'm selling mine, never got good and have actually grown to hate the damn thing. It was always awkward to hold anyway. Plus, like this guy says >>130017280 sax is easier and actually much more fun to play.
>mfs complaining about having 3+ octaves>meanwhile my instrument only has 1
>>130017756>sax is easier and actually much more fun to playReeds are uncomfortable on the mouth. Not as bad as brass instruments but worse than flutes.
>>130017857>>meanwhile my instrument only has 1Ocarina? Crumhorn?
>>130017874some kind of bagpipe
>>130017687Yeah, I'm sure that's the rule and not the exception.
>>130017867You get used to it.
Flute mouthing difficulty tier:Flute: basicBass flute: harder (needs more air, easier bum notes)Piccolo: even harder (needs high velocity flow, harder on the lips)My favorite is the bass flute. IRL acoustic monophonic synth with lowpass resonant filter. Too bad the lower the flute, the quieter.
Is there any non stringed non fretted instrument that's actually fun and relaxing to play instead of being a constant grind. Everytime I've gotten curious about brass or wind I'm reminded just how fucking unfun it is to start them
>>130021747>Too bad the lower the flute, the quieter.And the more expensive.
>>130022641Saxophone, as previously stated. Also, recorder.
>>130016277Skill issue
>>130020537Not him, but I always hated the feeling. Not necessarily the reed, but how my lower lip kind of got pinched between my lower teeth and the reed. It was especially bad when I had braces.
>>130022847>quieter and costlierAnd less frequently needed.
>>130025086Who cares what an orchestra needs. I play bass and I mostly play it alone, laying down or on a sofa
>>130025242I love the richness of the sound and the weight is better balanced, it's cozier. As for the lower volume: mic.
>>130025045I get it, i don't mind it anymore though. The weight of it pulling on my neck is the worst part for me.
