Modern
6-key Fingering Chart
Elsewhere
on this website you'll find 19th
century fingering charts. These may not suit modern Irish
flutes,
which are usually rescaled and tweaked to give better tuning
accuracy. While this won't affect fingerings in the lower
octaves, it will affect third octave fingerings, moving them generally
closer to the theoretical.
The fingering chart available here has been worked out for my Rudall
Perfected model - a flute based on the largest bore, largest
hole
original Rudall flutes I could find, and rescaled and tweaked for best
performance. Fingerings for other modern flutes may vary in
the
third octave, but probably not by much. Try fingerings given here and
fingerings from the 19th century charts.
