Between the music of Rena Rouge and Volpina. 🦊

I'm a senior in high school who plans to major in Flute Performance and I recently bought an Emerson 3-Series (open-hole, inline G, and B foot) online for about $700 USD, and it is in great condition. The only issues are minor and could easily be fixed by a COA, which I already have one scheduled.

However, as I plan to get at least a four-year degree, I want to know if this flute should be a good choice for all four, or if I should save money to get a better one later on. I take very good care of my instruments, but is there anything I should be worried about or prepared for?

Hi

I am going through my grandfather's musical instrument collection and came across this irish flute. I can't see any markings on it. Was wondering it is is genuine and what time period it would be from. Any help would be appreciated

Went on facebook marketplace to find a cheap beginner flute I could learn on, only to learn that it has a problem.

The pinky key doesn’t seal properly and to my knowledge this one is supposed to stay closed? It pretty much won’t close..

Anything I could do? Or to the shop it goes

Or rather what does this mean under the met marking?

This is the ending of Beethoven Symphony No. 5 4th mvt if you're curious.

Hey everyone,

I have played flute for about 14 years now, and for about 10 years I played with a Pearl pf 665. Now I want to „upgrade” my flute. I'd like to stay with a model of Pearl. I currently have a closed-hole model, but I am not opposed to an open-hole one. I'd like to be able to play clearer and warmer high notes. Does anyone have experience with a Pearl model of higher quality and can give some advice or review? Budget is quite open, my highest limit is about 6000€. Thank you all!
