  1. Flute & Piccolo
    I'm a saxophone player looking to pick up flute. I found a reasonably priced flute on ebay recently, its a gemeinhardt student model m2 flute, but it's from the 1970s. The seller says it will need service, which I know is expensive, but I'm also wondering since it's fifty years old is it even...
  2. Flute & Piccolo
    As there seems to be very little information about it available, I was wondering whether anyone has any experience and opinions on the Gemeinhardt 2ESH flute? The only website I found that used to sell it returns a "Page Not Found" so it should be safe to assume they don't anymore... In my local...

    I am interested in making a wooden flute headjoint for a western concert flute, I understand this probably is not the right place to be searching for help, but I cannot find any resources. I am looking for help finding measurements for a wooden headjoint. I am not interested in a class on making...

    My brother, pianist Art Resnick, passed away this year. When I emailed most of his contacts, Peter Ponzol replied and we exchanged a few messages. It turns out, Peter and Art jammed at a party in 1980. One week later went into the studio and recorded ten tracks. Peter told me there was no...
  5. Flute & Piccolo
    I'm thinking of one of these as a travelling buddy type flute, doing a bit of touring around Europe and would like to be able to join in a jam here and there..so dunno, thought these might be a good way to go. There's nowhere nearby to try one, anyone out there have one? Be interested in your...
  6. Flute & Piccolo
    I purchased an antique collection and have 2 music items in it. One is a large teacher scroll you would hang above the teacher wall in class. Double sided. The other is a G. Mueller Concert flute antique. I listened d it on eBay if anyone wanted to look at it. Search G. Mueller Concert flute...

    I'd love to hear from the doublers out there - what are some of your favorite standards to play on flute, either because it sits nicely within the range, is in a good key, or just sounds nice on the flute?
  8. Flute & Piccolo
    Hey everyone, new member here! My parents purchased this flute for me about 18 years ago and I would love to get more information about it! It is a Selmer flute, the purchase tag says "Selmer Omege F1 Flute". It is an open hole, with gold keys and an engraved gold lip plate, and B foot. The head...
  9. Flute & Piccolo
    I may be required to play piccolo in 6 weeks or so. Can anyone recommend a decent budget piccolo (either used or new)? I have pretty decent flute chops, but I haven't had to play piccolo (except very briefly, decades ago), so I don't know what to look for or which student or budget models have...

  12. Misc. Saxophone Discussion
    A little bit of backstory- I work in instrument repair and come across a ton of instruments weekly. I just started in October, but there was a flute that had been sitting on the repaired shelf since early 2018. It was a Yamaha YFL-684, a discontinues 600-series model flute with an inline G and...
  13. Flute & Piccolo
    After about 40 years with my trusty Gemeinhardt M2S I decided to upgrade to a higher quality flute with open keys and a B foot. A couple days ago I bought an Amadeus Af780 with a 14k riser. Today I exchanged the Amadeus for an Azumi Z3RBO. To start with, it was a very close call. Both are very...
  14. SOTW Member Compositions & Arrangements
    Trying to get the hang of the video editing software. This song started life as a jazz tune, but without drums and bass it kinda just sounds like a "contemporary composition," so to speak. Extended usage of one motif and the major scale throughout. Check it out and see if you dig!
  15. Cases
    Hi, anyone has recomendations for alto sax + clarinet + flute cases? I've been looking at the protec and it has been really attractive especially since you can use the flute and clarinet pouches as single cases essentially, but wanted to get some advice before I spend that much money. Using...
