Mihiro Nonn thank you so much
Thank you 😊
Thank you
I actually prefer flute 3 - Granadilla wood over all others, the sound was just amazing. Muramatsu did have a bit of tonality and color lacking from the others; however, it's brightness was piercing while the granadilla was simply perfect. Wonderful playing btw.
The Schwedler looks like a clarinet and a flute had a baby.
That's what I always think when I see soprano saxophones xD
Haha I have the same thought!!
more like the Conical coconut wood bore Boehm system
More like the second one BC it has holes
Reminds me of an oboe
The gold flute sounded the most vibrant and brilliant by far, followed by the silver flute. The German silver flute sounded a bit rougher, and less sonorous in general. The Grenadilla wood flute had a thick, dark, rich sound.
The examples were too long for me to remember how the others sounded. I could tell the difference between numbers one and two and between numbers two and three, but not the difference between numbers one and three. Nice playing though.
Just switch flute examples by clicking on time button below whenever you want.
@@dmytrognativ2163 yeah dude
Did anyone notice how the Schwedler flute - the first flute, Fingers an F# just like an oboe, and it fingers a C like a recorder. That's why I think he said to slow down and play the pieces a little slower than on the other "normal fingering" flutes.
The F# was fingered with the first finger on his right hand just like on the oboe, and the C was fingered with the middle finger on his top left hand just like recorder.
That's how F# is fingered on all non-Boehm flutes.
Thanks for sharing this! I think the Schwedler sounds great.
I personally loved the schwedler and gold muramatsu
They all seem to have a sound unique to their material and design..........personally I love the Muramatsu
Thanks for doing this, much appreciated!! Man, does the first flute sounds sweet!!
god damn, wonderful playing! To my ears, Muramatsu!
You play really fantastic!
You damn dominate these exquisite fingerings! Each one has its own sound qualities.
Thanks, really liking this 🙏😊
I had to go back and listen a second time for comparison, because I was too distracted by the wonderful playing.
The wood flutes were not quite as powerful/loud as the metal flutes. The Schwedler was beautiful but the key noise was loud, perhaps a consequence of using a close mic. The Conical Coconut was my least favorite. Again, not bad, but a little breathy/airy sounding and articulation not as clean as the others. The #3 grenadilla wood one had the cleanest articulation, but I still like the tone of the first flute.
The Sankyo was a little harsh sounding, but by no means bad and might, in a different space or recording situation, even be the best. The gold Muramatsu was powerful, but I liked something more about the Altus. My favorite was the Altus because it had a vaporous (like vapor) color to the sound which I thought was beautiful, just the right combination of overtones. It would sound very nice in romantic music, like the Widor Romance, which with your ability and control over tone color, you should consider making it a signature piece.
Since this is my first visit here, I listened to some of your other videos. In one you play the Enesco on what is, I presume, the gold Muramatsu with what looks like a wood headjoint, and the tone is...it just doesn't get any better. You have some attributes about your playing which are extraordinary, even compared to some of best professionals. Your dynamic control, use of vibrato, controlling its depth, and the way you use it with a phrase, for me, is better than Galway or Rampal, and the basic tone quality is so beautiful. Your playing reminds me of William Bennett, who was my favorite for quite a while, long ago when I played the flute, and cared about such things.
You are a good breather, not noisy, and minimal disruption of the music. There was a famous orchestral flutist, meaning famous to other flute players, who I thought was the ultimate orchestral player, until I heard her recordings on the radio, and the loud, gasps and breathing. That can really disrupt the enjoyment of a performance for me, although I heard her orchestra live a few times and never noticed it. Good luck in your career. You must be doing pretty well if you're playing a gold flute.
you can just tell the action on the Murumatsu is top notch. But I personally love the sound of the wood flutes.
the schwedlers tonal possibilities are impressive! beautiful sound!
sankyo bright sound i like it
Great !!! I love it :-)
I definitely loved the sounds of the Muramatsu and the Altus the best. What could be interesting to hear is the headjoint of one on the body of the other.
I love the conical Boehm. Specifically what flute is that? Is it vintage or currently made?
number 2 sounds most like a flute to me. Less like a robust all purpose thing with brassy and stringy notes.
The Altus wins for me hands down. I love the thick, rich, dark tone. The Muramatsu is nice, too; the tone is nice and smooth, but yes-like someone else said below, it's lacking in some of the tone color of some of the other flutes.
他の動画も見ましたが、やはり自分の好みはシュヴェッドラーフルートですね。
I definitely thought the Boehm Grenadilla wood flute stood out from all the others in terms of the beauty of the sound. The metal flutes were a bit shrill and harsh.
Thank you for this I like the German flute sound
I watched for seeing and hearing the flutes. The problem is that with most instruments, you actually have to be in the room with them when it comes to comparisons. I always run a high-powered audio system on my PC so they always sound good. Seeing as I'm not actually buying one, none of it really matters but I do enjoy these instrument vids.
It was very helpful ! No doubts! My opinion is - save the Best for last,:)
I am for number two and three and have to say that the first one is magnificent. I’m wood player for very long time and can’t get the zzzz from metal flutes
How is the name of this wonderful music? :) you play beautifully!
altus al 18kメッキ B足部モデルが自分として目標のフルートです。巻き管の響きがとても魅力的です。金の華麗さをメッキで少し加えることになると想像しています。
my personal favourites were the gold flute and the granadilla flute, but between the two I'm leaning slightly towards the granadilla just because wooden flutes have such a gorgeous tone and are reminiscent of flutes of the past. I wish wood flutes were more common, common enough that you could find a wooden transverse flute with metal mechanism in any music shop ready to be sold.
Wood flute and Piccolos can crack in extreme heat or cold. That's why its recommended to use either a metal or composite picc for marching band. That also might play into why the wood flutes aren't sought after as much.
Katelynn Barnes ugh but why are violins and guitars made of wood because the same can happen to them. And aren’t clarinets and oboes usually wooden? :/ not saying I don’t believe you it just doesn’t seem like a convincing enough reason
@@bananaborz1 most Clarinets used in a typical public school band setting are going to be a composite material to handle the changes in temperature. Wood clarinets, if in a hs setting, are mainly used by serious players for their concert band season but the players will usually opt to use their composite one for marching band. Oboe isn't usually used in a marching setting unless for a solo maybe. In my hs band our oboe players always played pit during marching season. Being a flute player myself I also find the brightness of a typical metal flute helps our part to stand out. Woodwind instruments minus the flute and sax are usually wood or composite. Clarinet, oboe, bass clarinet, and bassoon are all wood or composite. So the brightness of a metal flute stands out. I actually prefer my Gemeinhardt flute in group performances because I feel it helps the part stand out a little instead of just mellowing out and blending in too much. Granted it's all comes down to player preference and the preference of the conductor or band director in the end.
@@bananaborz1 Also Violins are more of an orchestral instrument and guitar can be either wood or a fiberglass material. It really depends on preference and the type of music you play on guitar. You would typically lean towards wood for acoustic purposes and fiberglass for heavier music.
mohu se zeptat co to je za skladbu nebo cvičení? a kdo to složil?
That Muramatsu is a goal
I really liked the Sankyo surprisingly, despite the body being made from German silver. That and the 24K Muramatsu were both tied winners, with the former having a very early French sound while the latter has a that modern clear concert sound. The Grenadilla wood flute has a very haunting sound that I like, but may not always suitable for every event. Frankly, wasn't a fan of the Altus and the first two flutes. They sounded rather flat to me, but it could also be UA-cam.
I blame UA-cam's compression scheme, but there was less difference between them than I expected. They just kept gradually getting brighter and perhaps louder. Personally I would love to have a conical Boehm for playing charanga music with the right tone but not the simple key system.
schön
I like the first one's sound the best! I'm curious which one is the most expensive though...
@@dp8460 Monnig wooden flutes pop up for sale now and then for $3,000-$4,000 . The Burger ring flute might be worth more, but it might not be. The Muramatsu is by far the most expensive one pushing near $100,000 for a 24ct solid gold body, headjoint and keys.
That muramatsu is one of the most expensive modern flutes money can buy
You can't compare a high quality from Sankyo, the very best of Muramatsu, and an average flute from Altus. It would be better to show the silver version of the Muramatsu SR for the all silver comparison.
My favorite is Muramatsu but Sankyo has a nice particular tone.
I know there is grenadilla wood and granadillo wood but I could not find mention of Granadilla wood. Is it the same as grenadilla or granadillo and if so, which?
There's grenadilla and granadilla. Both are from the genus Dalbergia. Grenadilla is African blackwood, Dalbergia melanoxylon. Granadilla is better known as cocuswood or wood from cocobolo, Dalbergia retusa.
@@Nara1Family2Rulez3 thanks
궁금했는데 감사합니다...
I like Al altus...very rich tone...specialy low register...
Haynes golden flutes from the 60ies would be nice, like the flute Jean-Pierre Rampal was playing. I believe it was with a thin wall, but am not sure. Modern flutes are a little bit to heavy and not that refined anymore.
@dojiou What is the name of this piece?
Telemann Fantasie #7.
I'd say for the wood ones I rank:
#1 schwelder
#2 bohem granadilla wood
#3 the bohem system one
for the metal I rank:
#1 mirumatsu
#2 sankyo
#3 altus
Pé em si. Chaves abertas !
Altus has a rich tone
FÉLIX RENGHII ACHOUUU
４番目の管体洋銀SANKYOの音色が素晴らしい。これは演奏者の技量によるものか？村松は素材が金のものでも､音色が奥深くて味わい深い。金製フルートにありがちな派手さはないが､私は好きである。
The difference in sound doesn't do justice to the price difference.
Деревянные лучше, чем металлические. Они имеют именно ту мягкую звуковую окраску, которой должна обладать настоящая флейта.
И надо было примеры сделать поменьше чтобы легко запомнить разницу
excelent your videos ,i aprecciate your fingertecnicall .in more videos , and help me so much , and you body position etc , sorry my ingles ,my opinion of course you are a talentflutist ,your sound is perfect in apoyo y flexibilite , i subscribe , sure you are a first flute ,isn t, but really like the video whit galway 14 flutes , the air inside the flute is always the same , ,my opinion is that only you need a decent flute , nothing more , all the others things are glamour or sold ,businnes . better used the best instrument in your presentetation, i m just another flutist band from argentina ,sucess master.
Muramatsu !!
My interested but not too sophisticated ears would have liked comments on what to listen for. Moreover, some of the Internet "translations" into Swedish of the title and introduction that I see are quite ridiculous.
どれも同じ音です🎵
クラシック、室内楽なら木製
ポップス、ジャズなら金属がいいと個人的に思った
I vote Altus
Same thing all of these flutes have : they are the price of your car.
Col muramatsu suoni bene però
무라..살짝 실맹...ㅜㅜ.
3 , and if money makes no difference then 6
Muramtasu 24 ct gold body, headjoint and keys- $93,882.01 at today's exchange rate.
Imo, once you've heard a virtuoso traverso player like Rachel Brown or Barthold Kuijken you never want to hear any 18th century music on anything but a traverso.
i totally agree with you.
gold flutes played by galway or pahud or jasmin choi, they all sound like heaven,
but once i heard kate clark playing bwv 1013... oh.... it was so perfect. i could understand why bach wrote the piece. he heard the same flute sound as i did...
figa lo hai ammazzato Telemann
Your vibrato sounds robotic
Example way too long. Could have tried wooden head on metal and metal to wood. I think fatigue was creeping in to.
The pieces are too long. It's annoying to listen through all of them.
