hello folks,

i`ve just had my flute repadded

i knew it needed repadding cos i was having to squeeze quite hard to get a clear tone below about E or D

its much better now i have it back, but i still have to squeeze a bit to get a really clear D

i know this is a bit subjective, but should i have to squeeze AT ALL?

surely i should just be able to lightly hold the keys down and get just as clear a note as if i squeeze?

many thanks for your thoughts!

No, you shouldn`t really have to squeeze at all but middle register D and E can be tricky notes to get a nice tone on so re-padding wont always help that . . . -Katie
