simple flute question?
I have played flute for five years on a beginner flute (a first act). I have never had any problems with it, but in the past year the pads have gotten really, really bad. One even fell out. I took it to a music store to have it re-padded, but they said that they couldn't do it. *Bummer*. Anyways I decided that I am going to invest in an intermediate flute. I want one that is a good dependable flute that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. I am willing to spend anything up to $300.00. The flute can be used, but I would like it not to have any scratches or dings.
Now for specifics.
-NO GOLD LIP PLATE
-OFFSET G KEY
-B OR C FOOT JOINT
-OVERALL TUNED TO KEY OF C
-GOLD PLATED KEYS
-QUALITY FLUTE
-SILVER PLATED HEAD JOINT
by the way, only the keys should be gold.
Oh yeah and my question:
Can someone please find me a flute that fits my guidelines, or at least recommend a brand to look into? Any advice at all would be appreciated!
For $300, you are NOT going to get an intermediate flute - plan on spending closer to $1500 - $2,000 for those - but you can get a *decent* used beginner flute. Let's go over your list - any *gold* that appears on a flute of this price will rub off in a week. You did not specify open or closed hole - most closed hole student flutes have a C foot, not a B foot. Closed hole flutes are ALL offset G - but if you find an open-hole flute, make sure it has an offset G - an inline will hurt your left wrist. They are ALL tuned in the key of C. Yes, you want silver-plated - the entire flute - but if you can catch a deal, get an all-silver head.
Stay away from Gemeinhardt - I often tell people (and other posters repeat what I say) that this company is NOT what it once was - there are far better flutes from other makers. Ditto Artley, or Selmer. There will be people who will write in here, that say they LOVE theirs - but I am in a position to know a HECK of a lot more than they do. Good luck - this will not be very easy to find - but it can be done. Whatever you get, plan i on it going into the shop for a COA - clean, oil, adjust - no matter how good the seller says it is.
So - you can look on ebay for a Pearl 501, or a Jupiter 611 (silver head). There are some Yamahas that will come up, and some Emersons. You are right - your First Act is horrible - people refuse to repair them, because they are made of such soft, cheap metal, that they will break off, or not hold the adjustment. And you have found out the pads are made of something not much better than used Kleenex. So you KNOW you need to make a change.
