Im just curious, but has anyone here played or owned a Miyazawa flute? Do the straubinger pads and brogger system make much of a difference? What were your opinions on the instrument overall? The PB202 is sweetly lyrical - ideal for french school - even with the nonBroggers, the mechanism is sweet ...

What a cool office fg18. Love it. Where are you attached? Or does everyone know this already in case we want to be sending you our woodwinds. You have "arrived" - first station. Have no doubt you are well on your way to your branded piccolo soon. Spotted the low hanging fruits =) except the screwboa...

Hi Bob. Thank you for your msg and good to hear from you again. Ah DiZhao! Our local establishment stock them so, for me, DZ has technically already "arrived" and hence placed above the category I was shooting for. 8) I was merely keeping an eye out for upcoming producers who may already be in the m...

greetings to my three good friends on flutelund (+Zevang of course)

so glad somebody has broached this topic and sparked some debate.

Thanks buddy.

at the risk of being stoned, I have a Q nevertheless... the vanilla subset of the Violin Community have embraced them, Sax enthusiasts have almost legitimised the Antigua & Berhaus-Walstein offerings ... who do we, the Flute community have?

Friends of fluteland

Am seeking reviews of the WM Haynes Amadeus AF600 (solid headjoint 14k riser)
and whether this flute is adequate to see one through the AMUS and LMUS?

Is this just an Intermediate flute or more?

Thank you in anticipation.

Oh dear.... :roll: :lol: But really, in all honesty this should be done by someone who has experience if you want to have any chance of using it again. You're effectively altering the undercut of the headjoint which will have dramatic consequences on the upper and lower registers (one will improve ...

I give you credit for doing things, but really, sometimes you have to understand why your doing it rather than blindly doing what someone else advocates. Its a very simple repair To fix, you need to remove all the old solder from both the lip plate and the mouth pipe, once clean, flux and tin both ...

Recently scored a rather reputed continental flute of some age The lipplate was hugging the headjoint and following advice from a great US flute restorer via another flute authority, I found the courage to "adjust" the edge of the lipplate to separate it from the hj tube wall. Easily done enough to ...

If on a budget, then, a Student Flute: Yamaha 221, 211 or F100ASII Jupiter 511S or SE If not, t...

Reason I ask is because, I am considering attending one of Joe's clinics which I am really keen on AND being a member gives one a delicious $300 discount. That aside, always good to know some ppl in the trade.

OW! I'll be steering well clear of 'em trombones.
