I am pleased to introduce to you the newest addition to my musical instrument collection: the Hall Crystal Flute in D. Always looking for a new challenge, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to play this whimsical instrument.
The emboucher is very close to the end. This was awkward at first, but it is not difficult to adjust.
My entire Woodwind Family
Members include Concert Flute, Crystal Flute in D, Fife, and Piccolo.
I love my flute. The Lord gave it to me for a dirt cheap price from some people that didn't know what they had. In fact, the flute and piccolo came together for only $125! Practically a heist! AND the flute is a Gemeinhardt!!!
The piccolo is so adorable. :) I haven't played it much because the occasion to has not presented itself.
What's a fife? It is a high-pitched transverse flute used commonly in military and marching musical groups. In fact, this one is an authentic reproduction of the kind used in the Revolutionary War.
Following are a few videos that I've recorded of the Crystal Flute so you can hear what it sounds like. I don't play it well yet and the quality of the videos are awful, but you can still get the basic idea.
