Open Hole Flute

What are good open hole flute brand?

I'm getting a flute again b / c is the update time for me ... but I do not know What little boy! help me!

Hi Sara, I think the first thing to do is decide how much money to spend on an upgrade, because models of intermediate and advanced are quite expensive. We are between $ 1100.00 and $ 2500.00. They are really on the site. I think often when people ask how to improve their flute, many respondents will be proposed in some models and places to buy, that's not really affordable for parents who are struggling with the bad economy. If your parents can pay $ 2000.00 for a flute, you're lucky ... but if not, should seek alternatives that will be willing to buy, and you can decide if a flute used to obtain affordable, and hundreds of $$$$. You can save something goes wrong with a Yamaha flute. I would recommend that the models of the 300 series or the 400-series. The Yamaha 381 is a head piece sterling silver / silver-plated body and foot / Ringklappen / B foot / And high C facilitator. New price alone will run you about $ 1100.00 / good condition about $ 600.00, maybe less. The Yamaha 481 has the same features as the 381, except that the head of silver / footjoint body and silver keys plated / mechanical / lip and plate. New price for this instrument is $ 1650.00 / $ 850.00 on or use nearby. Quote current prices Woodwind new and Brasswind but you can check with your local music store to compare prices. More brand name registrars though improving the Pearl Quantz Series DiMedici and Jupiter, but if bought for my daughter, I would stick with the Yamaha. And if you're really serious about going ahead with his flute .. but you are on a budget ... Those are the only brand flute, I would suggest they have the best reputation for reliability and craftsmanship. Will be outsourced Avoid these flutes, Assembled in China / Korea / factories in Malaysia and then back to the U.S. for a helmet. The heads are fine, but the Qualiy and crafts of the mechanism are sub par. Haynes, Powell, Trevor James and medium brands include flutes. Well, if you have thousands of $ $ $ $ to spend, look at the lower end Miyazawa, Muramatsu and professional flutes. One of my friends Muramatsu Miles Zentner is a distributor and selling the bottom of sterling silver flute handmade final $ 3500.00 ... a large pipe organ for a price cheap. But if you like the most and the need for a price reduction ... Check eBay for better agreements and affordable flutes. I gave too Pearl, Jupiter, and connect Yamaha. If you do not see what it is today ... wait a few hours and more on the list. Only advise you to ask questions to the seller, and after reading their reviews to see who has many, many satisfied customers. Also ask about their return. I bought a bunch of very nice flutes on eBay and save hundreds $ $ $. We hope this was useful and good luck finding your update! Professor of flute studies.

No intermediate open holed flute really sound better?

I've been playing my flute for beginners since I started playing .. was 4-5 years about to have a flute through a detergent really make the most of it? because the girl next to me and has a beautiful sound and frankly I can not play well. wundering so I really can affect the flute? or is it just the player?

I am a professional flutist, teacher, competition judge in New York since 1971. Just because you opened the hole, it has the sound of the flute better. The real determinant is the mouth, its content of metals (silver - gold - instead tackles) and finished all instrument. You must learn to manage an open hole flute, and a B-leg, if any, and all other keys. Advanced players use to make the transition smooth hard - Yes, you can do it the hard way, but some additional features that make it easier. The big difference is the player's skill. Sometimes I hear my students tear a passage through their music and say, "Sure, you can play over ten thousand dollars flute!" -- So I say "Give me the flute of his party, and until his plays flute (no leaks, etc.) I can still play well. The player, not the instrument.
