    What did you have to do to get them to fit together?

    • @dborgo
      @dborgo Рік тому

      Hi. The Nuvo flute (and Guo flutes) is wider at the mid-section, so I needed to put something around the fliphead to make it fit. I initially used saxophone neck cork, which worked fine, but when I would switch to try it on another flute I had to tear it off (so it became expensive :). I found that plumber's tape (or even Gorilla tape) wrapped around the fliphead worked fine too. Once you have a good fit it plays perfectly. Hope that helps.

    Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

    @jaimesarasal4460 Рік тому

    Outstanding performance. From all the windinstruments that you usually play, which one do you enjoy the most and which one do you think is most expressive? I'd like also to ask you what the differences are between the Guo Grenaditte flute and your metal flute? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience

    • @dborgo
      @dborgo Рік тому

      Thanks Jaime. Those are great, albeit tough, questions. I love various flutes but still think of myself primarily as a saxophone player, so I guess the tenor and soprano saxes feel most comfortable and expressive to me. RE: the Guo flutes, they are very nice instruments and since they weigh less, I'm more inclined to play them more. This is especially important on bass flute, which can weigh a ton in metal. I also like their sound quality as a bit closer to wood than the standard silver flute. The "silver" flute being played here is actually made of copper, from Trevor James. It too, has a lovely warm tone. I do wish I had perhaps some better training on flute when I was young. I'm basically self taught, which can lead to some frustration ;) Thanks for listening and for your kind words!

      I did a very nice professional recording in the studio recently using this head joint and with a full jazz quartet. They folks at Fliphead are going to post it soon. Not sure I'll get around to an instructional video, but the best thing to do is experiment with some different blowing styles and techniques. I don't rest my teeth on it so I can kinda float around a bit with it in my mouth. Hope that helps a little.

      There absolutely is, so long as you have some time and are ok with getting a little hands on. I made one for myself out of a length of PVC, a 45* elbow and a dowel rod. If you have a hand saw, some sand paper, a file, and some way to attach it to the body of the flute, it wouldn't cost you more than $20 and makes for a pretty fun craft project. If you're into that sort of thing, lol.
