(BB is tall, with a small base.if you use it standing up, I recommend that you put you foot on one of the legs to keep it steady) This setting is good for playing standing up. If you turn the adjustment all the way LOW.there is almost NO travel. It allows the BB to move with you, as you play. 'Travel' is the amount of 'swing' allowed for the BB. (You will find a small pocket, in the case, which has a little hex-wrench to adjust tension on the flip-locks.)Ĥ) The pictures show the location of a 'travel' adjustment, at the base of the Bass Boost. As the 'flip-locks' get worked in, they will get easier to open. Be careful! At first, if you guess wrong, put the flute on it's stand before changing the height. Others have placed the Cradle closer to the center-of-the instrument (Your placement may vary)ģ) After some practice, you will find that you can make one-handed adjustments for height, using the 'flip-locks'. Bass Flute: The best spot (for me) is between the F and E keys.and my thumb keeps the cradle from moving higher on the instrument. Keep it light, and easy.Ģ) Placement of the Bass Boost 'Cradle' along the flute: There is no need to put extra weight on the cradle. The flute should just rest on the cradle. There is 'grippy-pad' to minimize slippage of the flute. The thin-edge of the Cradle should face the flutist. (If you are playing an Alto-flute, it will probably be somewhat lower)

Initially, try it about shoulder-height. It should be placed on the player's right-side, convenient to place the flute on the ' Cradle' 1) The Bass Boost (BB) helps to support a Bass or Alto flute, minimizing stress on the right-shoulder of the artist.
