I'm looking for a professional flute in that range. Possibly a miyazawa or a yamaha?..... does anyone know the models in that range. and how are they?

I started in 4t grade and I'm also currently a junior. But I know from my band that "junior" doesnt say much as to talent. If you were up to playing them, I would suggest, the Haruno Umi, which is a beautiful Japanese piece. Or the Concerto in D Minor by Danzi. That piece is very long and rather dif...

a good piccolo player should be able to be heard over (at least) an instrumentation of 10 flutes, 15 clarinets, 10 alto saxes, 5 tenors, 3 bari's, 2 bass clarinets, 15 trumpets, 8 trombones, 4 euphoniums, and 4 tubas. and yes, they're supposed to dominate.

IN NEED OF AN ONLINE DEALER FOR FLUTE REPAIR SUPPLIES. know of any?

^^sorry guys... i forgot to mention that i was
talking to flutediddy. ^^

I was just wondering at what level you play. I would assume that in a prefessional standard orchestra, symphony or band you would not be allowed to play a purple flute? I think i remember reading that you bought a purple flute because it stood out(did i imagine it?) but doesnt that kind of defeat th...

i have great instruments and love them but i was
wondering(considering i can''t look past my own instruments) what is (in your
opinion) the best flute brand out there, no cost restrictions applying? i have
all gemeinhardt instruments...5 in total actually but what is the best.... and
for piccolo?

Anybody know of any good places to get flute repair tools and supplies?... im having trouble finding an online provider and my local music stores refuse to sell them to me because "they would prefer to do the repairs"... but when they repair it...its never fixed properly... i know how to fix it usua...

I need to know of some good online music stores
where i can buy acessories...(ex. plugs, pads, cases, etc.) Does anybody know of
any good online ones... or even woodwind catalogs that i could subscribe via
online. Thank![8)]

I just bought a new piccolo last week. I got a
Gemeinhardt 4S. I have 2 flutes and 3 piccolos now. All gemeinhardt's and I
have no complaints. The only reason I've gotten new ones is because of severe
weather damage and age. Hope that helps.

i have a low b foot joint.... i dont really know what it''s called... but it allows me to play a b below the low c.(anybody know what it''s called) and i just recently realized that i''m the only one in my band who has it and I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT!! every fingering chart i''ve found doesn''t go ...

the only problem with doing that is if you simply write down the note names you still don't know how long or short each note has to be. Music doesn't only tell you what notes to play, it also tell you how logn to play a specific note, how fast, how loud, etc. Eventually you would have to learn to re...

me and a friend have decided that we are going to open a music store when we get out of college. I''m in high school and have jumped back and forth a lot about my profession.... but when I started band it all became fairly clear about what i wanted to do. Music is what I love to do... but any way......

both of my piccolos will need a repadding VERY soon... my friend was telling meabout a type of pad that is sposed to be excellent but i can''t remember the name of the type of pads.... i''m noti n contact with him any more and have no idea what type of pads to buy... i need a very durable pad becaus...

i sometimes get stick keys.... i''ve tried using money to unstick my keys but it usually only works temporarily... I also know that cigarrette paper works but being that I''m underage and have a forgetful mother it''s quite hard to acquire without going through the school drug dealer (im kidding!) i...
