I hate to disappoint you, but when you don't want to play a low whistle, but sound like a real flute, you will have to learn how to blow on a flute headjoint. You may be able to find a headjoint you can blow on like on a recorder, but then you won't sound as a real flute, and besides, you won't be able to adjust your air stream in order to make all the notes sound perfectly in tune.TJCeeJay wrote: ↑Tue Oct 21, 2008 2:35 am. Now, I need this type of headjoint for the flute because for some strange reason, in 20 years of trying I've NEVER been able to produce the perfect stream of air needed for getting sound from a flute. And I want to play the flute! I've wanted to play the flute for decades. but couldn't. Then I saw the show where they were making the flute and at the end of the piece they showed the flute with a standard headjoint and then with a penny whistle type headjoint.
I guess you have been trying learn how to blow on a flute headjoint by yourself. I would be surprised when a professional teacher could not help you to get your first notes out of the flute within one or perhaps three lessons. By the way, some flute headjoints are better suitable for beginners than other headjoints, but that's a different discussion.
