That is very cool!

I was hoping to get a new flute for Christmas, but I didn't because my mom thinks it's a waste of money and I should focus only on piano.

For me--- flute related--- I only got cleaning/ repair sort of things. I did get a nice Manhasset music stand and a really nice metronome though.

depends upon what you are looking for.. they can be
quite pricey.
Your best bet on affordability is going to be a rebuilt older model.
King, Martin, Armstrong all put out a decent alto in years past.
Sometimes Conn is good, depends upon where and when it was made.
Bundy is a fairly solid horn as well.

for used horns, that play, you will run into anything from 300 to 800 dollars,
unless you start getting into the serious horns..
At which point it goes up considerably.
I expect my son's next horn to run me 3500 or so IF I am lucky.
But he's going to be headed to college and beyond with it sooo....

I didn't get anything specifically flute related, but I did get one thing that is both absolutely ridiculous and really cool (at least to a huge music person like me). It's the box set of the complete works of Mozart...Yes, complete...on (get this) 170 CD's!

Whoa..... cool! I dont know if I would personally get much use out of something like that, but it would still be something really neat to have.

I know! It's utterly insane, but I'll give them all a listen eventually...Still, it's at least 200 hours worth of music, so it'll take some time to get through everything. It was a great present though...I just started laughing once I realized what it was!
