There are many ways to modify the scale of an instrument besides the position of the tone holes. While our scale (or the position of the toneholes) is not varied due to the style of the cups, our venting, undercutting and key heights are all modified to compensate for any pitch variations. The end result are closed hole flutes that play as well in-tune as our standard French cup models. If you are interested in testing an instrument to evaluate the scale yourself, please send us your information privately."Powell Fluteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869106739603134170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938445142831921424.post-22749099540873465832015-04-21T09:20:35.536-04:002015-04-21T09:20:35.536-04:00The statement about scales on closed and open hole...The statement about scales on closed and open holes being the same is outrageous - you are ignoring simple laws of acoustics in which the open keycup is producing a sharpening effect.

Shake well<br />2. Apply liberally with soft cloth. For best results, rub thoroughly.<br />3. Rinse with water, then let stand 2 to 5 minutes.<br />4. Buff dry to high luster with soft cloth.<br /><br />The process may be different for other brands of tarnish preventers. Check the product labels or manufacturers' websites.<br /><br />The products are similar to car wax in that they leave a thin polymer coating that offers a little protection and makes keeping the instrument clean a little easier. They will NOT prevent all tarnish all on their own! You need to take care of your flute and wipe it down after you play.<br /><br />Karl Kornfeld, Powell Flutes Finishing Dept.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622615343860340838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938445142831921424.post-74572593442107774672015-02-20T10:21:09.226-05:002015-02-20T10:21:09.226-05:00I know this is an old question...is open hole bett...I know this is an old question...is open hole better than closed hole?
