Tuning
Since changes in temperature and humidity can aect the instrument’s pitch, blow some air through the instrument to warm it up before tuning.
Piccolo/Flute
Tuning is accomplished by sliding the headjoint
slightly toward or away from the body.
* Pull out on the headjoint to lower the pitch
and push it in to raise the pitch.
Alto Flute/Bass Flute
On the alto and bass utes, tuning is accomplished
by sliding the U-joint slightly toward or away from
the body.
* Do not adjust the space between the headjoint and
U-joint. Doing so will degrade the pitch balance,
making it dicult to tune the instrument.
