<\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nRecorder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The recorder is a more well-known fipple flute than the tin whistle and has 10 holes. 2 pairs of the holes are very close to one another and are often covered at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 of the holes on the recorder is on the back of the instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHalf Holing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Some flutes are truly complex with the amount of keys and holes to deal with. However, it gets even more <\/strong>complex. Many flutes have fingerings for certain notes requiring the player to “half-hole” <\/strong>the note. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe recorder <\/strong>for example requires to half-cover the thumb hole to get certain notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe tin whistle<\/strong> is designed to play 7 notes (with one bonus note), and the other 4 can only be played by half-covering holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe concert flute itself has some fingerings where you half cover the hole (for flutes that have open holes… many do not). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, even though some flutes have 17 keys, there are even more <\/strong>fingering techniques to add to the complexity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As I’ve been learning about different instruments I’ve asked some of the most basic questions, such as how many sound holes does a flute have–I’ve been blown away by how<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1339,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[31,2,19,4],"tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":31,"label":"Flute"},{"value":2,"label":"Instruments"},{"value":19,"label":"Recorder"},{"value":4,"label":"Tin Whistle"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/flute-body-closeup-1024x470.jpg",640,294,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Peter Mitchell","author_link":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/author\/thesoundadventurer\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":31,"name":"Flute","slug":"flute","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":31,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":2,"count":4,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":31,"category_count":4,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Flute","category_nicename":"flute","category_parent":2},{"term_id":2,"name":"Instruments","slug":"instruments","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":105,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":2,"category_count":105,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Instruments","category_nicename":"instruments","category_parent":0},{"term_id":19,"name":"Recorder","slug":"recorder","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":19,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":2,"count":3,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":19,"category_count":3,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Recorder","category_nicename":"recorder","category_parent":2},{"term_id":4,"name":"Tin Whistle","slug":"tin-whistle","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":4,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":2,"count":18,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":4,"category_count":18,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Tin Whistle","category_nicename":"tin-whistle","category_parent":2}],"tag_info":false,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1335"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1335"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1340,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1335\/revisions\/1340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundadventurer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
