Hmmm. As far as I know he just uses a flute and either puffs or kind of sings into it (kind of kazoo-style). There are many different flute techniques that he uses, you'll just have to listen and experiment. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

I play flute, and to get Ian Anderson's 'buzz' flute sound you sing notes whilst also blowing/playing the flute as normal. He nicked it from Roland Kirk, so if you haven't heard him, I suggest you check him out, also Harold McNair who is probably one of the best sax/flute players ever! Here's a link to all the info you need regarding Ian Anderson and the flute: http://www.j-tull.com/musicians/iananderson/equipment.html#f lutes - http://www.j-tull.com/musicians/iananderson/equipment.html#f lutes I suggest you get a Selmer beginners flute, but make sure it has a 'split E' mechanism. |
