Thank you for showing our flute!! We appreciate it, it is true that we sell cheap instruments, but we knew you would like it!! Thank you very much for trying our flute❤
Hi Lance, i follow you 3 months ago, i'm begginner in the flutes, I'm currently playing the French horn at the music school in my city, but the sound of the transverse flute surrounds me and hypnotizes me, I always watch your videos, I love them, you are very charismatic, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Greetings from Medellín, Colombia.
Excellent Video. The flute has a very nice tone for that price; however, your playing made it sound a lot better I am sure. Thanks.
You make me want to buy every flute you play test 😂💜💜💜💜
Aww thanks, Julie!
Another great professional unbiased review. Thanks for sharing your flute adjustments on this video.
Thanks! Would it be helpful to go into more detail about adjustment screws?
@@LanceSuzuki I think so. I learned what to look for on my flute; and with your video, I know now what minor adjustments I can make. After all, I did get a free screwdriver with my flute.
@@LanceSuzuki it would absolutely help very much!
@@LanceSuzuki Many thanks from France for this good idea !
Thank you for reviewing these lower end flutes. I am currently looking to see if would be a viable option for me, so I’m not ready to shell out a ton of money on an instrument I may not be able to physically play (Career related shoulder/nerve issues). If I can do it great, I have something to learn the basics on. When it breaks beyond the point of my being able to fix it or I just can’t play it, I can turn it into a piece of art.
If I thought for one minute that I would sound like that, I'd buy one. You sound better than I do on my Sankyo Silver Sonic.
And wow...clean playing!
Nice presentation. To me it seems these inexpensive flutes function quite proficiently. I ordered one myself. Thank you🤗
My daughter's teacher did not recommend us getting these cheaper flutes due to tone and durability ect so we rented one for now till we see if she likes it. Then we'll look to see if we can find a flute that's more student quality
Thank you so much I’m getting a flute and I this helps a lot
👍👍
Hi Lance I just want to say how much I appreciate your instrument review videos particularly, Your virtuosity shines through even on the most inexpensive flutes. Many thanks. Any chance of a Trevor James flute review?
TJ is a great idea. Unfortunately, My access to these instruments is currently limited but I’m working on that!
I really appreciate the evaluations. I started with a Buddy, then a Gminheardt (sp), shb and now a Pearl (about $3000). I have and still do very much enjoy playing the flute. I played recorder quite a lot from age 20 to 55. Then started flute. Now 78 and still play quite a lot. I am self taught and prefer improvisational playing. Contemporary popular music, jazz and Rock. I think I will get the Vangoa as a back up. I am a music major, percussions and vocal. I taught drums for many years. And by far the single biggest variable on any instrument is the musician, not the instrument. You made those flutes sound beautiful. A really good drummer can make a drum set made from plastic tubs and pot lids sound better than a $10000 drum set played by a mediocre musician. Do you do internet instruction? Again, thanks.
Hi Fred. Thanks so much! Yes, I do teach online. You can find more information and contact me through my website here: www.lancesuzuki.com/flute-lessons/virtual
Just for the fun of it I got a Nuvo bright blue plastic flute a few years ago. (It's surprisingly playable, and is GREAT for taking out in the woods or to the beach. And if I drop it in the creek, no harm done. It even got baptized in the Jordan River with me.) Its interior cleaning cloth is similar to the one in this video. Also, from time to time, I have, with my good silver flute, put a couple of inches of the corner of the 100% cotton bandanna I've used for years through the hole in the tuning rod, and then (carefully!) dropped the rod down the inside of the flute body and then pulled the bandanna through. Of course I can't use that method on the head joint....
That Bizet piece was our high school band chair audition piece in my sophomore year. I aced it; landed in second chair. A real blast from the past.
I love the Nuvo flutes!
Would love it if you reviewed Di Zhao 300-700 open-hole (all or any of these :) I currently have a DZ 200 closed-hole from the Flute Center of NY and she is lovely, bright and clear even to my novice ears. I'm a newbie teaching myself with books and vids like yours (finally hit a third octave G today and have been over the moon all day). Really enjoying the process and looking forward to getting a real teacher one of these days. I know I'm nowhere near ready to upgrade but I'm almost 57 and have no time to waste- want to explore ALL.THE .FLUTES. 😂
This is also a good sounding 👌 flute.
That we brush is for gently cleaning in between the inaccessible parts of dust.
Can you try unboxing the east rock flute please
Gee whiz Lance, I think you could make a plastic flute sound good! Of the three Amazon flutes you’ve tested here, I think this is my favorite, perhaps due to the higher copper content. I was pleasantly impressed by the sound.
Aww...Kathy, you are the sweetest! Glad you liked it!
I just bought this flute so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it
How are you liking it?
@@LanceSuzuki i sorry I replied to the wrong video I bought the new bo c close flute it’s OK just need to learn The notes everybody that I search for on CZcams have different versions of it
Ideia of a new video: pick the winner of Glory x Medini video and compare with this flute!!
I only found yours videos now and I'm loving all of them!! Thank you for make them!
Great idea! Thanks!
Thanks for the review. Abbout the sound I found it extremly metallic. Sometimes a bit too cold but then again it was perhaps your mood today. Thx again and regards fron Spain.
Lol! Could totally be my mood. 🤘The description says that there is higher copper content in the tube. Perhaps this is what you’re hearing.
My first flute is a vangoa flute and I kept calling it a vangon flute anyways I love this flute I bought it for my first day of playing the flute and I sounded pretty judging it was my first time
Some of these Amazon items have such confusing names!
The funniest thing I have with china's flute is in their .958 headjoint they say it is a solid silver.It is britannia silver for .958 silver in fact.
What was the best flute you purchased on Amazon?
I'll admit, during the whole unboxing, I was waiting to see if there was another pair of gloves; and there was. I suspect that the brush and the pull through cloth were put in by accident. I use one like that for my bassoon. The cork grease seems to be one of those "put one of these in all of the cases" on the assembly line. I'd save it and hand it over to the person sitting next to me :)
For the gloves, they may be, rather than for playing, just for cleaning. That way you can clean the oils off, and put the flute away without adding more fingerprints.
The screwdriver is a nice touch. I keep having people (technical people) complain about flathead screws, but they serve a good purpose, especially on things like instruments. (could you imagine trying to use a Phillips or Robertson?)
Thanks for yet another one - I can't believe I missed it.
Hi Troy,
I agree that some of these "accessories" are just put in thoughtlessly. I'd rather they leave them out and lower the price by $5! Thanks for watching!
Lance
@@LanceSuzuki - Based on the prices for things I order from China, it'd probably cost them more in labor to leave them out, than just having the cases all loaded with the same ten cent items. I doubt if they cost a US dollar for all of them together.
Wow! just... wow! and just 100 bucks?
Is there any flute that you can't make sound good?
I’m currently saving up for my first flute I leaning towards the Jean Paul student flute, would you say it’s better to purchase a flute from Amazon or from a higher price $249 name brand?
Great question. I think that if you are planning to seriously study and practice, I would go with a higher priced instrument from a retailer specializing in flutes. These cheap flutes are fine for a few weeks/months of play.
Have you tried flutes from the flute Center of New York
In the past, yes (I lived in NYC for 16 yrs). Are you interested in more high-end flute reviews?
Yes
Do you know justanotherflutist
I think reviewing student and intermediate flutes/piccolos from FCNY might be a good idea.
This guy can rub two sticks together and it will sound good. It is not the bow , its the idian.
Eyeballing for pad seal is unreliable.
Even cigarette paper is a bettervway
If the leak is big enough to be seen by the naked eye, then it definitely needs attention. Otherwise, I don't really want to put THAT much effort into these cheap flutes! Thanks for watching and for your comments!
