Question for my flautist friends
Of which I know there are at least two and possibly more ...
OK, so if you're intending to play a C on the flute, what is the right way to support the flute with the rest of your hands? I have been mostly just holding it tightly under the left forefinger, between the forefinger and the hand, which makes that joint very achy. That strikes me as a suboptimal way of doing things, but I'm not sure what a more robust way to hold the flute would be like.
(yeah, I know, I should probably take some lessons, but I'm currently flat broke. /: )
Also -- beginning to be more My House. Have noodled around on both flute and piano. <3 Yay!
