I'm going to give you my "have you kissed your Gemienhardt today" speach. Unless you're a millionare willing to buy a haynes or muramatsu, stick with you're Gemienhardt. I've tried many upper and lower end flutes, and my Gemienhardts are the best flutes ever. My old 2sp that's been through everyting...

NEVER use silver polish on a flute!

More recently I've had to begin fixing its tune holding dificulties by hand as I was spending $10-40 a week. I w...

Although I love this instrument dearly, and it's the best and most versetile flute I've ever played (I can go from playing very bri...
