In her Intonation course on tonebase, legendary flutist Leone Buyse explores one of the most overlooked aspects of sound: how alternate fingerings can dramatically improve tuning and tone color.
From subtle tweaks like lifting the pinky on high E to using forked fingerings for F and F♯, Buyse demonstrates how experienced flutists maintain clarity and control even in demanding forte passages.
