Compared with traditional instruments, the Choroi flutes possess a tone that sounds more like a voice than an instrument.  This unique tone quality leads to a corresponding style of play.  A free outbreathing, rather than an active blowing, forms the foundation for the tone. The mouth and lip positions also contribute to the tone formation.  The fingers gently touch the specially formed finger holes, which allow half-steps to be achieved naturally by half-covering the holes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll flutes are treated exclusively with linseed oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with accessories: wooden cleaning swab, cotton flute bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emaple wood, range: c''-c'''\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Guide to Flutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FR-CH\" data-originalfontsize=\"11pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666666984558105\"\u003eThe first flute is the Choroi interval flute which can be introduced to a child of 5 or 6 years old, and the next step is then beginning for children of 6 or 7 years old, with the Pentatonic Quinta flute.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-originalfontsize=\"11pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666666984558105\"\u003eThe Diatonic Octa flute can then be introduced for a child starting at around 8 or 9 years of age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBut this not all fixed because the one teacher will take this schedule, and other teacher will start with playing earlier or later.  Some teachers skip the Diatonic Octa flute altogether, and go straight from the Pentatonic flute to the Recorder beginning partway through Grade 3 or at the beginning of Grade 4.  We recommend the Aura wooden recorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-originalfontsize=\"11pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666666984558105\"\u003eThe tuning from the \u003cspan class=\"m_-536000226667281778gmail-m_5088298245604163744gmail-m_795974257455213516gmail-il\" data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003e432\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_-536000226667281778gmail-m_5088298245604163744gmail-m_795974257455213516gmail-il\" data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eHz\u003c\/span\u003e is lower to the normal level and the tones have more warm quality.  The \"right\" tone is 440 \u003cspan class=\"m_-536000226667281778gmail-m_5088298245604163744gmail-m_795974257455213516gmail-il\" data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eHz\u003c\/span\u003e which is used also in the big orchestras and for example playing alongside piano accompaniment.  If children are playing together in a group, then 432 Hz is okay.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FR-CH\" data-originalfontsize=\"11pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666666984558105\"\u003eWhen playing the flute along with other instruments for example piano, the 440 Hz flute will be more in tune with the other instruments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: we normally sell this flute with German fingering, and 432 Hz, as that is the flute most typically used in Waldorf schools for children.

Number 11 is two groups of five plus one more. Or ten and one more. Following the same thinking, see how 14 is ten and four more? What's the difference between the top row and bottom row? The additional row of five for every number. So now you see how 12 plus 5 equals 17. Top row plus five equals number beneath it. What about adding the bottom with the top from either side: 11+20=31, 12+19=31, 13+18=31, 14+17=31, and 15+16=31?
