PLAYING AND CARING FOR THE SIX HOLED FLUTE Like any flute, the easiest note to play is the one produced by the head joint alone. Hold the head joint up to your mouth, pressing the embouchure to your lips as if kissing. Now let the head joint roll down your chin, so that the embouchure hole turns outwards. Smile slightly to draw the corners of your mouth inwards and upwards. Open a very small gap between your lips and direct a stream of air at the far edge of the embouchure hole. While you blow, adjust the position of the head joint sideways and by rotating it. Experiment with the shape of your lips to find the clearest sound. Keep this up until you can produce a clean sound every time.
