INSPIRING RESOURCE

It's a buyer's guide. It's an owner's guide. And it's even more than that. Tipbook Flute and Piccolo tells you everything you need to know to buy the instrument that suits your style and your budget, and to get the most out of the flute you own. Essential information for beginners or their parents, an inspiring resource for advanced players, and a handy reference for pros.

FOCUS ON SOUND

Tipbook Flute and Piccolo brings you the combined knowledge and ideas of some thirty flutemakers, headjoint specialists, teachers, and musicians, allowing you to focus on your sound. The core chapter of the book focuses on all elements that help determine the sound, feel, and playability of the instrument, ranging from the materials used to the keywork, extra keys, and all details of the headjoint - in-depth, yet accessible. Separate chapters are dedicated to flute accessories, tuning, maintenance, and adjustment.

FINGERING CHARTS

Like all other Tipbooks, this volume has brief sections on the history, the family, and the making of the instrument, as well as a glossary and an extended index. As a generous extra, the book features interactive audio and video Tipcodes, chapters on practicing and dealing with stage fright, and a complete set of fingering charts, including alternate fingerings. Enjoy!
