As you get older, those thumb ports seem like a really good idea…especially if you have tendinitis like I do….im going to order one for my right hand. I also wondered about leaving my flute out without taking it apart. Makes me more apt to practice. I mean I’m only an amateur …so if I have that long cleaning wand, I think I’m more apt to practic and leave my flute out
Rogue suggestion but a high quality music stand. Even for beginners I think it's a good investment, as it's just so much more enjoyable to play when you aren't fiddling with the foldable ones that feel like they're going to collapse every bar :')
I too have lost count of how many polishing and cleaning cloths I have. I love the Beaumont ones and just got one of the ones from Flute Center and am loving it too!
Especially for those with Hitchhikers thumb, the thumb port is amazing!! I can’t play more that 10 mins without my thumb getting tired because of my weird thumbs
@ So jelly, also do you have any double tongue technique recommendations? I’ve been working on it for a while and I am struggling. I’ve been practicing it phonetically as DUH-GUH or GUH-DUH and then on my flute at 60bpm 16th notes really trying to place each movement and I feel like i’m getting nowhere.
Yeah please make a video about what in the books!!😍🎶

“Condensation” is a nice work for your spit. Lol….also “absorbing water” 😂
I'd love a video on your favorite pieces to play.
I am hooked on the Beaumont cloths. They’re so pretty

They're the best!!
Great vlog!! Thanks so much! Very useful as I’ve started playing and making good progress 👍
I love the combo flute/piccolo cases, two in one case has always been my favorite.
Im gonna send this to my friend who is gonna learn flute for band

I love the darker hair!
Thank you! 💗
I love my thumb port. I actually bought an extra because I lost one once and once you get used to it it's weird not to play with it. :-)
Ooo that's a good idea to have an extra! I am surprised I haven't lost mine yet lol 🫣
I love your videos Katie my flute is actually getting a COA right now LOL
Thanks for watching! Nothing better than a freshly y COAed flute! 😍
i guess among all the accessories mentioned the polishing cloth is the one you don't need to buy and can easily find subs for
Great video! Do you have any recommendations for a sheet music folder? Since some are larger than the standard letter paper size
KTFL doesn't get me free shipping...is it meant to?
Hi! I believe it should get you free shipping on flutes/instruments but not accessories/sheet music.
What Piccolo do you use?
I have a Burkart :)
