Perfecting Your Third Octave FluteTips 105
It’s difficult to get a good resonant tone in our third octave. There just aren’t as many overtones in the sound up there. The overtone series is made up of those vibrations that naturally occur when a low sound is produced.
A low C can be more resonant because you can get more of that overtone series happening in that note.
A more resonant tone has more overtones present in the note. But our job is to get that overtone series in all of our notes.
So, you have to work harder at getting the sound that you want in that third octave. Because it's not naturally there. Otherwise, the third octave can be very thin!
I'll just give you some ideas for working up there in the third octave to improve your tone, including:
Opening your throat all the way up to your sinuses
Putting air in your cheeks
Keeping the pressure light on your lip plate
Relaxing your embouchure & keeping it flexible
Have Fun!
