the flute..

ok... so i recieved the flute from school today. but i cant seem to make a sound come!!! if its just the head joint alone i can make it easily but once i attach it to the rest of the parts, making the sound was a whole lot harder (to me not even a single sounds came out..) can anyone gimme advice on where to put my lips or how to blow it to make sounds? ty

Maybe something is blocking it-even a hard blow should make something come out.

Are you blowing into it? Cause that's not how it works. It's like making noise with a bottle, blow over top of the hole.

no there wasnt anything blocking it. i did blow over top of the hole but only wind comes out :'(

blow gently across the hole, and you need to use the buttons to make notes.

well thats most of the problem T_T when i press the buttons i dont even hear anything.. i asked my brother if anything was broken but he said no

What type of flute is it? In Elementary, we use a bamboo flute, and my friend had a problem like your description. Is the blow hole still fixed in? have you dropped it recently?

its just the normal flute and i never dropped it. search flute in google

do you have a cleaner that came with the flute? its like a long instrument that you can place a piece of cloth in and enter it in the flute to clean it try that and see ok

I think you need to put the mouthpiece near your upper chin (to the side of course.) Then try blowing :)

OK i finally figured it out.. sorry for the trouble xD i just needed to do a steady hard blow xD realized didnt blow hard enough
