ive recently got a yamaha flute and the higher notes soud really sharp especially c above middle c and b below that could anyone help?

Easy: adjust your embouchure

try putting ur lip further forward when u sound the note and directing the air higher or lower (depending on it being sharp or flat)

thanks i thought of that but it got quite annoing to keep on changing thanks anyway

actually, do all that stuff that people posted, but also check the chord.

anon, did you have this problem on your flute before this one?
I have found that Yamaha flutes do run sharp. For many years I played on a Yamaha, but I always had trouble with the scale. I think that Yamaha`s are the best made student/intermediate flute, but I just wish that they would change the scale on them.

i had a selmer before my yamaha and it was a really good flute with a really nice tone and almost perfectly in tune but i`d had it for about 6 years but it was a begginers flute and i needed somthing more advanced

Bingo! There is your problem. You aren`t used to the scale on the flute. If you didn`t have any tuning problems with the flute before this one, it only goes to show you that it is not you. While I love Yamaha flutes, I don`t like the scale that they use on them. I have many students with the same problem that play on them and I have had to make modifications to try to help it out some. Good luck.
