I am currently renting an open-hole flute, and the plug can be removed and replaced as needed/wanted. Replacing damaged or lost plugs is fairly easy as they are not expensive to purchase. The previous brand I had rented seemed to prefer the plugs in (it was a rather clunky intermediate flute glad I ...

That is where I am currently renting from (Long and McQuade), yes. I did ask them about financing sales. They did say they have some during boxing week, but if not, I've got it worked out how I can pay for it. We'll be able to pay outright when tax refund time comes early in the year. In the mean ti...

A couple of weeks ago I rented a Carlton CFL200. It is an intermediate flute. I liked it, but didn't love it. Today, I noticed that my music shop had available for rent, the Sonare 501 that I had had my eye on for a LONG time, and am even contemplating buying. Even so, I heed all the advice about no...

I mostly set it up for my own benefit, as I want to see my own progress for myself as I continue to practice. I will be posting *myself in practice mode, sometimes scales, somet...

I watched your youtube videos. Keep it up! I'm a newb at 52, and loving it.Maybe I'll get brave and journal my progress on youtube too. (maybe) I loved your "Twinkle Twinkle little star" duet!

Thank you! I am enjoying myself so far and very happy with how beautiful the flute sounds even at this beginning stage. I've always been a multi-instrument enthusiast, but the flute seems to be magnetic for me. (I play piano, guitar, ukulele, and in high school played clarinet) So I look forward to ...

New here, but not new to music. In September, I bought a second-hand Jupiter student flute from our local music store (Long & McQuade), and have been enjoying it a lot. I also currently am renting a Carlton CFL200 because I wanted to see what a B-Foot and open-hole playing was like, and it's also fu...
