Hi all: I am interested in possibly purchasing a Yamaha 800 series flute. Does anyone know the difference between the different body types? Flute World has some great discounts accept on the YFL-877 flute. Does anyone know about this flute? It has a number 7 body type. Does anyone know what is good ...

Hi, I would suggest the Haynes classic series of flutes. I have played the q3 and q4 and loved them both! Good luck to you.

Hi, I know this post came up some time ago. However, I tried a Mateki 5 at my flute lesson on Monday and thought I would share my thoughts. The Mateki was solid silver with drawn tone holes. This was the only Mateki flute I have ever played. Having said that, I must confess that I hated it! The righ...

1) What group do you play for? I like to play for myself and I try to give a flute recital every year. 2) What kind of flute do you play? Miyazawa 101. (I think it has a solid silver headjoint because my Dad bought it for me in 2000.) 3) What is your dream flute? I would love to own a gold flute. Ho...

Hi all: I just wanted to answer the question I posted in case anyone was curious. At my flute lesson last night, I got to play a Haynes Q3 and a Haynes Q4. I compared the 2 flutes for around 45 minutes. The Q4 has soldered tone holes and the Q3 has drawn ones. The Q4 has a different headjoint althou...

I apologize for a mistake I made in an earlier post. I played a Haynes Q2 which had a solid silver body and plated keys. I also played a Haynes Q3 that had solid silver body and keys. I liked the Q3 much better.

Hi all, I just wnat to say I got a thumb port last week! I love the thing! I first put it on at my lesson. The paing I'd been having with my right hand went away! It was worth the money!!!!

Hi, I am not sure what your budget is. I would strongly recommend the Haynes q3 flute. I got to play one with a c trill key, and a gold riser. I was very impressed!!! I have played that flute 3 times and listened to my recordings of myself. I think that flute gets a great sound and is very responsiv...

Hi all, has any one played or does anyone own a Haynes 5 percent gold flute? What does the 5 percent gold do for the sound of the flute? Thanks

Hi, if you would like to hear what they sound like, here is what you can do. Go to www.youtube.com, and search for tom green flute. Or, you can search for the youtube user hookedonflute. She is very good. I am glad you wrote this question. I will be in the markit for a new flute and was wondering th...

Hi, what did you like about the mateki flute? I will be in the flute markit next summer so any information you have would help. What flute do you play? Why did you chose that brand?

Hi all, has anyone tried a mateki flute? If so, what did you think? Does Mateki make different head joints? Thanks for any information.

Hi, I do not own this flute but I have played it several times! I just love it!!!!!! I think they did such a nice job. My local music store is selling one with a gold risor and a c trill key for 4800. I think that is a great price! I can honestly tell you that the more I play that flute the more I l...

Amen! I agree that I should try as minny flutes as I can. I am not going to be able to get a new flute until next august. And, I am not completely sure what my budget will be. I do know I want solid silver body and keys. I am surprised but it really does make a difference. If anyone has played any o...

Hi, at my flute lesson the other day, I played a Haynes q 3 and Haynes q4. The q3 had a solid silver body and plated keys. The q4 had solid keys, and a gold risor. I noticed a big difference between the 2 flutes. I really liked the q4!
