Question: Can you play flute with fake nails on!?
I play flute, and im in the marching band this Summer, and I was just wondering if I would play my flute with those fake nails you get put on, that won't come off for about a month!.
Just please let me know!.
Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes! You can play with long nails!. I have real natural fingernails that are about 1/4th an inch long and I play and teach the flute almost everyday!. I have never chipped a nail while playing the flute, and it has not slowed me down at all on fast pieces!. You shouldn't have any problems!.

I play flute too, and I'm guessing you can but it will probably be uncomfortable and they might chip
and since its maching band the music is probably faster meaning u have to move ur fingers faster and ur nails would make it harder to do thatWww@QuestionHome@Com

Anything is possible, but it will be tough, will get in your way, and will probably greatly lower your playing ability!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
