However, at our recent Flute Extravaganza, a major expo featuring various flutes from 9 makers, the Trevor James remained to constant favorite among the many flutists who attended (particularly the black nickel version).

Re: Gemeinhardt 4s piccolo

I can't imagine you'll get much for a 44 year old piccolo that may have some unseen or unmentioned issues. A new 4S goes for $1,299.

Re: Looking to Upgrade

I cannot speak for the repair shop you went to, but in our case, we would not work on the flute if it was going to cost more than the flute is worth, especially if the flute can never be right again.
