So how would the pearl dolce 695 stack up against the sonare in terms of tone and build quality?

Well I'm looking for an upgrade from my Gemeinhardt M2 before I start college and I'm not good enough to major in music but still wanted to do band. I'm open to any suggestions just preferably under 1500, I only listed those because I could get them in my town used.

Between a gemeinhardt 33sb, Sonare ps-505, and Armstrong Heritage 2 55B which one would be the better flute for tone and build quality? I'm currently looking for a silver flute for college. Any other past experience on them?

Whats the difference among the different armstrong headjoint cuts., like the b, c, s, t and p4 headjoints?

Okay so I can choose between the kessler intermediate flute or a pearl 505-525 flute. Which one would you choose?

my spending range is no more than 500 and sorry I meant a 2sh because my friend is selling hers, but I don't particularly like it and I wanted a B foot joint and its for high school.

Thanks for the input! also I was wondering how would this one compare to a Gemeinhardt 3shb? Which one would you choose based on tone quality, scale and craftmanship?

has anyone tried the solist flutes kessler&sons make? Any thing negative or positive?
