i just started playing yesterday. i was wondering if anyone had tips on improving my tone

wow thats a long reply, my dad got the flute in england 20 years ago. im not sure wot brand it is. thz 4 the tips

Exactley, nobody has a great tone on there first day of playing. So just keep on playing llong tones and such

like the others have said it takes a while to build up a good tone so0 just keep practicing the excersices and get a good teacher as soon as you can, i you are looking into learning on your own for a little while try the abracadbra book it help you learn fingerings and things like that, but don't learn go too long with out a teacher or you can pick up nasty habits(such as your fingers flying all over the place)

What Ann said. Good post oh and leigh is our expert on the forum with flute playing since she has been playing a while, so listen to her too.

the advice i would give you is to practice practice practice.........

and......don't forget to practice ;-)
