Timber The Flute Tutor

For Beginners and learners on the wooden, simple-system flutes

Written and Compiled by Fintan Vallely

This tutor is designed for self-teaching of the wooden 'Simple-System' six-hole flute. The fingering applies to all such flutes - whether the standard 'Concert' flute in the key of D of the more widely-available 'Fife' or band flute. Since the fingering on the Tin-Whistle is the same as that on these flutes, the book is particularly suited to those who wish to learn the Whistle with a view to later taking up the flute.
