Hi everyone,
as there are a few threads I noticed about keys and fingering charts, I though I would post the fingerings I use on a 6 key McGee pratten for the third octave (up to the 4th octave C). I have looked at various other fingering charts, and those don’t work as well as I would like. These fingerings, which are what I have found to be a good compromise between tone and tuning, and all the notes are easy to sound (including the high C). I would be intersted to see if these work on other modern flutes, and old ones too. Hopefully this will be useful for somebody.
regards
Michael
