My flute teacher has offered me a Gemeinhart M3S with a head joint made my Lamberson. Assuming the condition is fine what would it be worth. Do you think you would want to play this flute? Should I be worried about the Gemeninhart having a older tuning system?

I've been looking for a step-up flute recently. One flute in particular has caught my eye, the Azumi AZ2. One of the flutes chief selling points and one that interests me is the professional grade altus head joint. My question is what are the benefits of this head joint and cut? What may be the cons...

I've been playing flute for a while now and I've been striving for great tone but I feel like I've hit a wall. I try to make the best tone I can but I don't know what to strive for.

In my opinion, there's nothing more manly than doing something feminine. If you can be confident in yourself as a man while being the only male flautist in your band then you have to be a manly man. So take pride in how little you care and have fun playing some flute. :D (Plus if you're the only mal...

Hi this is my first time on here. I came to ask a odd question. Where are the wooden flutes? Why are all Boehm flutes made of metal? I was hit with this question recently and I did some googling. Apparently there are wooden Boehm flutes(Part of me really wants a wooden flute now :shock: ). So why ha...
