Can you play the flute with no front teeth?

I play the flute , but am also quite cheeky,If someone punches my lights out when Im drunk , would I still be able to play with no front teeth , or false front teeth ??

Can you play the flute with no front teeth?
One thing to be considered is that when playing the flute, the mouth is not only there just for blowing air through, the mouth is a resonating chamber in itself. I took a short seminar on the physics of sound and flute playing, and it was very interesting. While you blow air across and down into the flute, it also comes back into the mouth a little bit, and it is an on going cycle. Obviously, if the shape or state of the mouth was altered, it would make a difference in how the physics work, and I have no idea what kind of changes could happen, or what changes you would have to make if you ever did lose your teeth. Good luck with that :P
Reply:Of course you can - you may have to adapt your technique a bit.
Reply:Dood, The flute is all about air being able to travel. Teeth aren't required! Teeth are meant for making certain sounds and chewing. Not to blow air, thats ur lungs.
Reply:yes i dont have a problem with it i have false teeth and can play with them in or out.
Reply:You do not need any tooth to be able to play the flute. What You use is to get air into the instrument, which basically does not involve any.
Reply:Ladies can play flute without front teeth, but it is only a flute that does not make any sound

Reply:This is the first time I ever read anything like this, I have no clue, if you really want to know the only logical person to ask is your dentist, if anyone would know he would. I'm still scratching my head on this one, what made you think to ask a question like this, are you planning on losing your teeth, if your such a fighter stay out of places that would cause you to get into those type of predicaments, stay out of brawls and bars if playing the flute is important to you !!!!!!! I play classical guitar, so you think I would take the chance and get into fist fights, and brake my fingers or hands, that would kill me !
