Hello, if anyone could help me it would be appreciated.
i`m learning on an older flute that hasnt been used in 10 yrs, everything was going good till i tried to play an F and it sounds the same as a G. any note lower than a G sounds like a G. pressing hard is not helping. just wondered if this was common or not, and i`m hoping there might be a quick fix. thanks alot ~crystal

Best thing to do is have a repairman go over it. After 10 years, it could use it. Maybe your G# key. The left pinkey key is staying open /down.

For naming purposes, the key immediately above the F key, is called the F# key.

If G works fine, sounding as a G, and your F fingering also sounds as a G, then I would suggest that it means that the F# key is not being pushed down by the F key, as it should.

There could be several causes. Best to see a technician.

Check some of your springs.
Som of them might be out.
It usualy heppens on my Tenor Sax Becouse its old but not as mutch on my flute becouse its only 3 years old and I dont play on it a lot now.

Hey now, that is not funny making fun of a person that has a hard time spelling. She could be dyslexic.

Didn`t you say you were from MN? Where are you from originaly that English is your 5th language.

Her e-mail address ends with ".ru" which is Russia.

OK, If we could help:
"i`M NOT DISLEXIC.
ENGLISHE IS A 5TH LANGUITCH TO ME."

Should be spelled with a I`m (Use a capital I) For two reasons in this case.
Check spelling of Dyslexic, not as dislexic. Funny thing about English, It`s not as phonetic as some would expect it to be. Or It`s not as nearly as phonetic as French.

In English speaking countries, the word ENGLISHE is spelled: English.

In English speaking countries, the word LANGUITCH is spelled: Language.

I believe that you should say that English is a fifth language for me and not "To me" in this case. Also, we don`t capitalize every letter in the English language. I believe that your caps lock button was depressed by accident.

So it would be better as:

"I`m not dyslexic. English is a fifth (or 5th)language to me."

So, what are the other four languages then? Just curious.

Respectfully,
