I recommend Yamaha, Emerson, Altus, and Pearl for high quality for a reasonable price. I do recommend getting an offset flute, inline flutes are not ergonomic and have especially poor resale value.Īs someone who has been playing flute for 8 years and has researched flutes to no end, I recommend you do not go with Gemeinhardt, Armstrong, and definitely NOT JUPITER. Just be sure there is a return policy! Some sellers sell flutes describing them as in perfect working condition.
You can however find used professional quality flutes in a similar price ranges used such as the Altus 807, Miyazawa 102, and Yamaha 500 series.Įbay has especially cheaper closed hole C foot versions of these professional makers since everyone wants open holes & B foot so they do not resell well. Pearl prices some Quantz models higher than the Dolce model, this doesn't mean they are better, they still have the stock student head, but extra bells and whistles that mean nothing (solid silver, C# trill), the Dolce model is where their psuedo-professional headjoint comes in.
Intermediate flutes nowadays are Chinese bodies with decent heads, the better of these are the Taiwan bodies like Pearl Dolce & Altus Azumi flutes.Įxamples of the Chinese flutes would be Powell Sonare & Burkart Resona.įYI - Jupiter, Azumi, and Altus are divisions of same company KHS Music: Jupiter being student flutes, Azumi intermediate, and Altus Japan made professional. It really depends on how much you want to spend.
