yamaha 285S II

i'm gonna try to buy a professional flute once I can find one in the grey market in Vietnam.

Big D, Texas (Dallas)

i'm part of the berkner ram band btw, we're playing Hindemith this year for marching!

Is the A minor scale the same as the C major
scale? and, Is the E minor scale the same as the G major scale?

Well, i don't get drips from my flute
until about an hour into practicing. When it does start dripping, that signals
me that I have practiced enough.[:p]

Who is the moderator of this site anyways? I'd
like to thank him for building up this cool site.

For me, i just make sure that my flute is
angled parallel to my lips. I also don't tilt my flute, just 180 degrees
according to the ground. Well, thats my correct way.

10k or 14k gold flutes are really expensive as we all know. Around $10,000. But $22,000?! i dunno if this brand/type flute is the best in the world. Check it out, (its on ebay- follow this link) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2562133100&category=10183 This person has been trying ...

in my entire junior high band, we have
about 35 flute players.

Hi and welcome to FluteLand Forums. Hope you'll
enjoy your stay.

Or if somebody could show me link/pic of a
trill chart, i''d appreaciate it.

Is there any kind of
home-material-type-chemical you could use to clean and/or polish a nickel plated
flute? And what about a silver plated one too? ...And what about a 14k gold?

Well, I wanted to be unique....and
so i am. I just love playing flute. It's fun!

I think Brook Mays is the first
place to look for flutes. Not only do they have Yamaha, but they also own most
of the other large brand name flutes. This is where i got my student flute,
285SII

I own the 285SII, but i don't know anything about the 285S
itself. I know for a fact that the 285SII is the best student flute for the
Yamaha brand. C foot Inline G silver plated opened holed

When you buy a yamaha flute (anywhere in the
900 series), do you get both C foot and B foot? or just a choice of one of
them?
