TIPCODES FLUTE AND PICCOLO

Tipcode:

FLUTE-001

This first Tipcode demonstrates the sound of the C flute or soprano flute.

FLUTE-002

As you can hear in Tipcode Flute-002, the piccolo sounds much higher and brighter than the flute.

FLUTE-003

This Tipcode clearly shows you the difference between an open-hole flute and a closed-hole model.

FLUTE-004

Play this Tipcode to listen to the ranges of the piccolo, the flute, and the alto flute respectively.

FLUTE-005

One and the same melody on paper, first played on a piccolo, then on the flute. The piccolo makes the same fingerings sound one octave higher.

FLUTE-006

Tipcode Flute-006 is a brief fantasy, demonstrating the timbre of the alto flute.

FLUTE-007

To demonstrate the different timbres of a piccolo and a flute, the same melody is played at the same pitch on both instruments.

FLUTE-008

This is what the bass flute sounds like.

FLUTE-009

This Tipcode shows you how to — carefully — check keys for play.

FLUTE-010

This Tipcode produces an A=440. To tune your instrument, you may of course play it couple of times.

FLUTE-011

For the untrained ear, it’s often quite hard to distinguish A=440 from A=442. The Tipcode makes you aware of the difference.

FLUTE-012

One intonation check for flutes is to compare the pitch of an overblown C5 (or D5) to the pitch of a fingered C5 (or D5).

FLUTE-013

This Tipcode shows you how to assemble a flute in three easy steps.

FLUTE-014

This Tipcode shows you a brief demonstration of a tuning fork (A=440).

FLUTE-015

Pushing the headjoint in raises the pitch, as you can see and hear in the Tipcode.

FLUTE-016

This Tipcode shows you how easy it is to adjust the position of the stopper.

FLUTE-017

The body is dried in a similar way as the footjoint.

FLUTE-018

Cleaning sticky pads is a simple procedure, as this Tipcode demonstrates.

FLUTE-019

The clarinet is a woodwind instrument, just like the flute, but it has a very different timbre.

FLUTE-020

A saxophone mouthpiece looks very much like a clarinet mouthpiece — but the sounds of these instruments aren’t alike at all.

FLUTE-021

Double-reed instruments have a very characteristic tone. The Tipcode demonstrates the oboe and the bassoon.
