Fluteston, we have a problem...
So there I was, yearning to practice my new flute (without the plugs) after a long hard day's work.
Did some scales, some arpeggio runs, some passages and some music pieces.
Then, all of a sudden, the flute gave out when I played E. Could not play it again, try as I may. I even reapplied the plugs...
Went to the adjustment screw and got some relief but not much. E1 and E2 sounded, yes, but the quality was way down.
And then I noticed the post at the offset G... it was loose. And lo and behold, the screw holding the G mechanism came loose, perhaps because of vigorous playing. But then again, I really don't know why that screw came loose.
Quickly re-tightened that screw and re-adjusted the G keys. Problem solved.
Whew! I though I had to bring my brand new flute back to the shop for repairs.
And so, my daily practice on my new flute moves along to get me used to playing without the plugs. Hopefully, there will not be any more problems.
Day three tomorrow. And happily, I'm getting used to playing it without the plugs. I just have to practice on it some more...
(Bear with me if you cannot understand some of the things I'm saying. Perhaps someday, if I had more time. I can illustrate the parts of the flute I was talking about.)
