if your flute produces an airy sound, is it just embochure of does
the flute have anything to do with it?

Also, does anyone know any good way of getting around Vesuvius,
the furious part?

the a separate score for flute. Also, I forgot who the composer of Vesuvius is
since I haven't heard the song nor have I read the music, but my brother played
it in high school a couple of years back and never got around to letting me see
the music.

Thanks~

If you have not had this problem up until now then it is possible
that you have some keys that are not sealing correctly. I would have someone
else try your flute to see if they have the problem with the airy sound and if
they do then I would take the flute into a tech to have it checked out. Kim

The flute itself can force a windy tone on the player if it is
poor mechanical repair, but a clear tone can be produced on any mechanically
sound flute. Vesuvius is by Frank Tichelli for reference, but I don't remember
where the "furious" part is. Maybe near the end of the piece with the fast scale
runs? A good way of getting good at fast scale runs would be to practice scales
carefully , smoothly, and with a metronome. I also reccomend scale exercises
like T&G or Trevor Wye's books. [:)] -Bradford
