Playing bass flutes

- Sylke asks: Hi Jane, I only started to play the C flute four years ago and never played another one. So I'm wonderring, what's the difference to a Bass flute in playing, holding, etc.? Thanks for your great work!

Getting a clear sound on a bamboo flute

- Andrew Joel asks: I’ve been playing the bamboo flute for 5 months and sometimes I don’t get a clear sound for the high notes. I think it is mainly due to my embouchure being rather round (my upper lip comes forward).

Winter flute playing!

- Lance asks: Hi Jane! What do you do to keep your lips from chapping during the winter? This seems to be affecting my tone and I am trying various lip balms. Suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you from Canada
