Playing microtones on a concert flute is as simple as rotating the head plate towards or away from your lips (__not__ twisting against the body!) to decrease or increase the effective length. Increasing the distance ~~flattens~~ the note, and vice versa. This requires extremely-minute precision and fine muscle memory for instant execution. You may also need to change your embouchure to avoid whisper tones.

For example, suppose you want to play a tone of 449 hertz (A4+35¢). The closest note in the 12 tone tempered scale is A4 at 440 hertz, so you would need to sharpen this note by approximately a sixth-tone, or 35 cents. You would accomplish this by rotating the head plate ~~towards you and closer to~~ your lips~~, decreasing~~ the effective length of the flute.

Playing microtones on a concert flute is as simple as rotating the head plate towards or away from your lips (<u>not</u> twisting against the body!) to decrease or increase the effective length. Increasing the distance ~~flattens~~ the note, and vice versa. This requires extremely-minute precision and fine muscle memory for instant execution.

Additionally, some flutes come with holes in the keys (&quot;ring keys&quot;) to facilitate quarter tone use. However, I do not recommend you purchase this type of flute unless if you have a desire to play in <a class="wiki_link" href="/24edo">24 EDO</a>. These holes allegedly change the tone-color, which might be considered an undesirable side effect.</body></html></pre></div>
