Poll-What would you rate these flute models and brands?

[flutepicc06]

I'm sorry, but you've posted several very similar topics now, and I've given the same response to all of them. There is no "best" flute. Every one is different and will like something different. All of the flutes you have listed (with the possible exception of Jupiters) are solid high intermediate/introductory professional flutes, and would serve you well if you purchased one of them, but it's up to you to play test them, and choose the one you prefer. Others opinions, no matter how knowledgable or experienced cannot be the basis on which you select an instrument. If you go down that route, chances are you will eventually become unsatisfied with your purchase. Don't worry about what others think, and just buy the flute that plays best for you.

For once I agree with Chris. Finding the right instrument is like a journey that you have to take alone. You already have a guideline of brands, now it is time to go out and play on them. Half of the fun in buying flutes is shopping for them, and trying different brands out.

Happy Trails
