Tuning is accomplished by sliding the head-
joint slightly toward or away from the body.
* Pull out on the headjoint to lower the pitch
and push it in to raise the pitch.
Alto Flute/Bass Flute
On the alto and bass flutes, tuning is accom-
plished by sliding the U-joint slightly toward or
away from the body.
* Do not adjust the space between the headjoint
and U-joint. Doing so will degrade the pitch bal-
ance making it difficult to tune the instrument.
