I recently came across someone selling a Yamaha 611 flute, with a silver lip plate.

Does anyone know anything about this model? I couldn't find anything about it online; is this a model that they don't make anymore?

It has closed holes (French) and a B-foot.

Hoping to hear from someone!

Okay, so one more question:

I may now buy a used Prima Sankyo Etude flute, which is, from what I understand, an early Sankyo CF201 model.

Would that be a good choice, considering my situation above?

Thanks for the help!

I was afraid you might say that...

Too bad though. As you said, the 411 isn't a bad flute at all, and compared to my Maestro it's actually really great. I love playing it, it's so easy to hit those low and high notes on it...

Too bad. I think I have to send the flute back.

Thanks for the advice!

Hi there! :) (it's me, the new gal!) So I've been researching this quite a bit online lately, and can't seem to find an answer. I currently own a Maestro flute (cheap American made) with open holes and a B-foot. I got it for € 250 at the time, and I went for it cause I didn't have a lot to spend and...

I don't know if you're familiar with jazz-flutist Ali Ryerson, but she's going to publish a book on how to play jazz flute this August!

It will be announced on her website as soon as it's available.
