They were showing it at the NFA Convention in Anaheim this year and I tried it. If I had to recommend ANY entry level flute, it would have to be Pearl's student model. They're sturdy and good for what you're wanting. I know that you can also get a good deal at the Armstrong 104 as well. You can find some good deals on the Jupiter on (Who has by the way re-vamped their site recently!). The Yamaha is probably out of your range.

Or even a sweet not so full sound? Or is it up to the flutist?Īnyway, I look forward to talking to you all in the coming years!įluteguy18 wrote:For student model instruments I generally recommend the Jupiter, Yamaha and Armstrong Models. Which one would sound more like the Gemmie without being the Gemmie? Or regardless of my nitpicking, which one would have a full, sweet, warm tone, nothing like the Yamahas. Can anyone tell me if the flutes sounded different due to different players or was the sound inherent in the flute models themselves? It was played by the same player as the Gemmie. The Jupiter sounded sweet in some ways but not consistent. The Trevor James TX-10x was a little breathy (?) to me but the sound was sweet. It sounded a little strange ('clarinety-toned' or closed in is best I can describe it) on Youtube. I'm seriously looking into the di Zhao DZ-200 because of rave reviews. I don't have funds to frequently get the flute adjusted. I prefer the Gemmie because of the way it sounds but I hear they are truly not recommended due to durability and scale issues. It sounded a little mechanical to my ears. re=related or Is this just an old-fashioned sound, heh?īased on several videos I won't even consider the Yamaha YSL-221. Frankly, I prefer the warm full deep tone (I don't know if I'm stating this correctly) of the Gemmie 2SP. I don't know if the tones represented the flutes or the players. I'm way to OCD to even consider a used flute so I'm afraid I'm limited to the cheaper new models, but i would like something to grow on. The Artley make I used in junior high seems to not be well regarded nowadays. I only want to spend $550.00 USD at the very most, as I'm not working. Local shops steered me to pretty low end stuff, even cheaper then what I have in mind or no-name brands, so I'll take my chances on the internet. I can be hard on equipment so I need a sturdy flute. I will mostly play hymns, Christmas music, and cheerful tunes. I'm now 44 and want to pick up playing again since I have a lot of time on my hands. I played around with it while I was in Japan but it never made it home. Lengthy post - sorry!īack in the seventies I played flute for one year in school. (The 200 plateau flute has no split E option as does the 201.)ĭo silicone or cork plugs get dirty quickly or rot or cause any other problems? I plan to use close holes for quite a while, I think.
The Di Zhao 201 has open holes which I plan to close with plugs. I have narrowed my choice to the Di Zhao DZ201 with the split E option or the Pearl PF-505.
