CANT FIND MODEL NUMBER ON ALTUS FLUTE PROFESSIONAL

Are these good choices, particularly considering the headjoint resistance?Īlso, I've been working with Fluteworld and noted that they have a Pearl Maesta flute on closeout. I've read here about the Haynes Amadeus flutes (my friend switched from her Burkart hj to a gold Haynes because of low resistance on the Burkart) and about the low-end Powell flutes. I'd appreciate any input from you all with regards to some good choices. I've looked at many used flutes, but none that I've found offer the C# trill until you get into the $8-10K range. I'd like a split E, but it's not essential.

I could probably learn to play the easy blowing hj, but my initial impression is that it would take a great deal of time (old habits are hard to break).īased on input from a dear friend and professional flutist, I want a flute with a C# trill. The Yam was like blowing across a milk bottle, so I had to develop a serious wind stream. It's a very nice flute, the action is excellent, but I find the headjoint has very little resistance. So I've been looking at a number of flutes, and have a Pearl Elegante 795 CODA on trial. It has served me well for a lot of years, but I really feel like it's holding me back at this point. Just before college (1983), I bought a Yamaha 481. A bit of backstory, I played flute from 6th grade through college.

I've been trolling the boards for a few weeks now reading as much as I could about various flute models.
