wow!! didn't realize that Yamaha is putting the pointed French tips on the beginner model flutes' keys now! thanks for the great video- wish I had this a few years ago when I was looking to upgrade!
Indian bamboo flute costs only 35$ and is very good And actually the origin place of flute flute is from over thousands years in India I hope u will definitely try one
Ive played with the Yamaha YFL 222 for a year now and for $1500 i can get a new Yamaha YFL 462 H which has an all silver body, open hole, offset G, B footjoint. This is the only "all silver" new flute that I can find at this price.
As always, wonderful video! I have question: how do you feel about wooden headjoints vs metal headjoints and wooden headjoint on silver/gold flute vs wooden flutes? I know there's a Trevor James Cantabile II flute with two headjoints in it's case, a silver one and a wooden one. It would be lovely to hear that flute being played by a professional with both headjoints ánd the difference with a full body wooden flute.
That is a great question. Honestly, it's such a personal preference based on your playing style and what sound you're looking for. Have you seen this video where I describe the difference between the flute metals and wooden headjoints: ua-cam.com/video/7aZyDKBKkds/v-deo.html ? It might help you a bit and I do play them so that you'd be able to hear what they sound like :) I would love to explore that more though - sounds like a great topic for an upcoming video! I've actually never played an entirely wooden flute before!
Gina Luciani Thank you so much for responding :). And oh yes that video. It's been awhile since I've watched it. I'll be looking forward to a video with a full body wooden flute :). What about great flute cases? Like when transporting more than 1 flute. I've got a BAM case for my B-foot Concert flute and my piccoli. But I also own a bass flute, and I'm saving money for the copper Trevor James Alto flute. For these flutes the Wiseman Lindon case for 4 flutes looks amazing, and great extra accessories. As always, top videos Gina!
Hi, Gina, do you know that I have flute too!😉🪈 I have an Eastar beginner model, this flute is a nickel-plated and cheap that I found and chose! And I very want learn to play on it!
Hello Gina, if you haven't decided yet on what Flute you're gonna review next month do you think you could add a Wooden Flutes and Headjoints segment/mini - series to your FCNY Sponsored reviews, I'm trying to pick out a wooden flute/headjoint to buy and I would love your take on Wooden Flutes. Here is a link to FCNY's Wooden Flutes and Headjoints collection: www.flutes4sale.com/collections/wooden-flutes-and-headjoints
Unfortunately I already received the flutes for my next batch of videos. I'll keep this in mind though for future videos - it's a really great idea! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. I'll be at the National Flute Association Convention in early August and I can try some flutes and give you my take on them. Let me know which you'd like me to try :)
Thank you so much for the helpful info Gina I’ve never been to a flute association convention before so I don’t know which flutes will be there but here ar three flutes that I would like to have you review: Yamaha Wood 874 #D710 Sankyo Wooden Flute Powell Wood #15320 They don’t have to be these exact flutes but these are the most well known brands my flute colleagues know. If you happen to review any flutes at all that would be wonderful. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
Hi Gina, your videos are so informative and fun to watch. I have been playing the flute for around three years now, but I got way more into playing the flute this year, but I would also love to learn alto flute. I have been asking my teacher for a while now about starting alto flute, though, he doesn't know much about it and also thought there wouldn't be any music available for our band "level". I also don't know if it would be smart to start alto flute or just stay focused on standard c flute. your advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks. -_-
Hi James! Thanks for writing me. I'm glad to hear you're interested in alto flute! I absolutely love playing it. That is true - there isn't a ton of rep for alto flute in the band setting. There is a lot written for it for solo repertoire and flute choir though! You do want to make sure before starting alto (or piccolo or bass flute for that matter) that you have a very solid embouchure and solid technique. That is because all of these flute require a different embouchure than the regular C flute. When you have to adjust your embouchure, if you're regular C flute embouchure isn't solid, it could mess with your sound and your progress. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!
thank you so much for responding! that was another thing my teacher was also concerned about: my embouchure, its gotten much better, though he was suggesting I take private lessons and talk to a private teacher. as for lack of music, I was thinking about transposing my flute music to work for alto , though that could be a hot mess -_-. another option could be playing in the jazz band. also this might be a stupid question, but could alto flute play c flute music, with a few key changes and such to make the piece sound like it was written for that instrument but just with higher notes? and lastly would it be smart in general to start alto, when I might upgrade to a intermediate flute in two or so years, depending on how well my geminheart will hold up. thank you for responding to my first post, sorry to bombard you with questions-_-
My flute is a Powell - sliver with gold mouth piece- don’t really know of it is real gold or not- it was the floor model and I got it for $2000- think it is called a Sonora- Did I get a reputable flute- I had ghemienhart previously
Hello! Im thinking about buying a flute and learn it alone (ik its a challenge) Wich one is better to buy? I dont want an expensive one. Please help me! Thanks!
This video is very informative. Thanks a lot Gina ^^ keep this up! Also this is my new account on my new phone because my old one got stolen. Now I can’t access my old account anymore! >_< But luckily I have this one ^^
Hey, just wanted some advice since even though I’ve been playing for a few years but new to buying flutes, I’m currently looking into a di zhao 300 flute, would you recommend it for the intermediate flutist?.
Believe it or not, most professional flutes are in the $15-35k range. They can go up to $100k though. Crazy that flutes are really cheap compared to some instruments like violins!
Gina Luciani I also don't see how big a difference that makes, especially considering that your recording equipment may not be able to pick it up as it is probably quite subtle as well
Gina Luciani and will the majority of the public be able to tell from a distance that you spent 20x the amount the average non professional would on a flute?
Louis Chappell Holmes you might actually be surprised what you can actually get out of recording of basic recording equipment. With the right equipment and software. Also take in effect what audio equipment what you listen through. As well as other users.
I'm obsessed with the alto flute! It has such a beautiful sound!
Me too!
wow!! didn't realize that Yamaha is putting the pointed French tips on the beginner model flutes' keys now! thanks for the great video- wish I had this a few years ago when I was looking to upgrade!
Thanks so much for watching!

De flautas tenho um pifano Yamaha YRF 21 e 9 pífanos de PVC quê fiz e uma flauta germânica.

I love TJ Altos!

Jupiter has all sterling for near that price. Wish I'd bought Yamaha instead if Jupiter in hindsight.
As always, wonderful video!

I was wondering ... is the alto flute Trevor James in the tone of C or G? 🤔 Your videos are awesome 😎
The alto is in the key of G :) Glad you enjoy my videos!
The Alto is like the flûte d'amore and treble G in another key, respectively in G; in A or Bb; and in G.

Powell Wood #15320
They don’t have to be these exact flutes but these are the most well known brands my flute colleagues know. If you happen to review any flutes at all that would be wonderful. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I'll look for them at the convention and let you know what I think!
Thank you Gina, I really appreciate your assistance in this matter.

thank you for responding to my first post, sorry to bombard you with questions-_-
What’s the name of the song you played with the flutes. It sounds so cool!!
My flute is a Powell - sliver with gold mouth piece- don’t really know of it is real gold or not- it was the floor model and I got it for $2000- think it is called a Sonora-
Did I get a reputable flute- I had ghemienhart previously
Powell is a great company!
This is awesome:)
Thank you!
Thank you , subscribed today .
Thanks for posting. The link in the description for the music in this video doesn’t seem right. Can you say what pieces you play here?
WOW! Your alto flute sounds too nice. Can you please post a video on Kadence silver plated flute.
Please!!!!
And btw as always your video is nice
What key is the alto flute in?
De flauta transversal o mais barato 2 mil reais de segunda mão.
hello I have a question, yamaha 600 or muramatsu ex, which one do you recommend?
I actually haven't tried the Yamaha 600, but I have tried the Muramatsu and I love it!
@@GinaLuciani I finally bought miyazawa :D
Hello! Im thinking about buying a flute and learn it alone (ik its a challenge) Wich one is better to buy? I dont want an expensive one. Please help me! Thanks!
Beautiful, but I am looking for a lower price.
This video is very informative. Thanks a lot Gina ^^ keep this up! Also this is my new account on my new phone because my old one got stolen. Now I can’t access my old account anymore! >_< But luckily I have this one ^^
Glad it was helpful :)
You should play alto, I think it was your best sound.
I have alto flute in a bunch of my videos - check them out!
Hey, just wanted some advice since even though I’ve been playing for a few years but new to buying flutes, I’m currently looking into a di zhao 300 flute, would you recommend it for the intermediate flutist?.
Indian bamboo flute is best
How the hell can you pay nearly 10 grand on a flute! That's nearly an annual wage
Believe it or not, most professional flutes are in the $15-35k range. They can go up to $100k though. Crazy that flutes are really cheap compared to some instruments like violins!
Gina Luciani I also don't see how big a difference that makes, especially considering that your recording equipment may not be able to pick it up as it is probably quite subtle as well
It's really important for live performances :)
Gina Luciani and will the majority of the public be able to tell from a distance that you spent 20x the amount the average non professional would on a flute?
Louis Chappell Holmes you might actually be surprised what you can actually get out of recording of basic recording equipment. With the right equipment and software. Also take in effect what audio equipment what you listen through. As well as other users.
god you're pretty
chose among (>2), not chose between (2) ...
Good one.👌👍
did i just read 9k dollars?
Too expensive for a silver plated body...i like azumi than muramatsu...
Unethical
