If the embouchure hole is imperfect or uneven, the air cannot flow into the instrument smoothly which ultimately results in an imperfect and uneven tone. This is entry point for the instrument’s energy source. The embouchure hole is a very important component of any flute as it’s where air is initially blown into the tubing. Hand over-cutting and undercutting of the embouchure hole: Using this precious metal helps to open up the lower register and gives a huge advantage over other intermediate level flutes because it’s not only easier to play in general, but it’s actually easier to get a great tone too. Plus, the ‘925’ silver delivers a warmer sound and an extended range of tonal possibilities.
