Thank you for your review! It was great, I’m now considering to buy one!🥰
Fantastic, glad it was helpful!
Very interesting - thanks :)
You are welcome!
Interesting flute, I dont have a use for one, but Im sure lots of people have. great video 2x👍
Thanks DC! I know what you mean.
I don't think those sorts of things existed when I took up the flute many decades ago! :) I do like a nice light flute though, on the odd occasion I get to try one.
It is so light. I think if hand problems were an issue this flute would be perfect.
Great review. Seeing that the price is 700$ in Flute Center and a Gemeindhart student flute (for example) can be bought at the same price or less, I'd say that a metal student flute of some quality is better for a beginner.
I understand where you are coming from. I think if it were just a bit cheaper they would be a great choice.
Very impressive making a plastic flute sound that good! :)
I know!!!! I was amazed.
I’ve bought a Guo Tocco flute for a friend who lives on the equator. They are in a high temperature, high humidity country. The neoprene pads and lack of a head joint cork should be idea. There won’t be any issues with silver plate rusting off either.
It both plays and sounds just fine for anyone except an advanced player.
Great advice. I can see how it would be great for that type of environment.
There are Guo's for advanced and maybe even pro players.... just not this one.
Yes you are right and they are definitely worth trying.
Yes - it was less 'th'y with the 'piccolo' embouchure.
I’m not sure I understand?
@@DoctorFlute the ‘th’ sound. Like a hiss but with less ‘ss’ 😆 I have a tendency to make up words. Apologies. Like a long ‘th’.
If a repair is needed are they being repaired in the US?
That I'm not sure of. If you buy from Flute Center they will do repairs but also there is a manufacturer guarantee. So I think you are covered.
nice...but...what about the pads?!...do they need maintenance?...are they made of compound also? :/
That I’m not sure about. I’m sure you could ask the maker or even shoot flutecenter.com a question via email and get that answer back.
kind of like a more fancy Nuvo flute
Could be true. I haven't looked into the Nuvo. Have you tried one?
@@DoctorFlute I think I have tried one but it was so long ago I forget what it was like to play one, they had been selling them at my local music shop I was working at before it closed down
Not at all. The Nuvo is effectively a toy. The Tocco sounds and plays ‘almost’ like a metal flute. It’s much better manufactured and plays in tune……using a tuner.
