Beginner Flute Lesson 6 : Assembling the flute (part 4)

 
Previous Next Report Error

Some flutes have little cut marks by the joints which, when aligned, will work as a good starting point. If your flute has these marks, use them.

The remaining piece is called the foot joint. It too needs to be properly aligned because your right hand pinky uses it almost all the time. Notice it has a single rod on it. To assemble the foot joint properly, the ball on the end of the rod needs to be aligned with the middle of the keys on the body of the flute - in other words, the rod needs to be on top, which will make the holes seem to be draping down either side of the foot joint.

When you are certain your flute is assembled properly, you are ready for the next lesson.
