okay thankyou for your help and if you happen to find a good piccolo in my price range will you please send me a message on webbcitybabe03@hotmail.com

Can do, but if you want to pick the instrument that's the best fit for you, you really need to play test them against each other, and not rely on others to point you to one specific instrument.

Just so you know, the Jupiter 303, and the Gemeinhardt 4PSH, and Emerson P3H2, all look to just about fit the bill. Check them out at fluteworld.com

Heh, my old school's school colors were Purple and Gold.

I think you lost me, Penny....

I love how this post was resurrected out of the blue for something completely off topic. Guess I'm easily amused.

And I believe Penny's comment was regarding the previous posts on colored instruments.

How is anything off topic?

The whole "purple and Gold" thing was regarding a flute on ebay. And I was saying that it would match my school colors.

Hey what you all think a good solo piece for compitition for a flute and a tenor sax and i preffer classical lol

i dont want easy i want hard

I would check Fluteworld. They have a huge selection of flute music with various other instruments. You can pretty much specify the instrumentation you want and see what they have available.

i know u've said about the colourful flutes being no good but what about the silver flutes by cibaili?

ok but how r they bad?

Well first off, they are made of cheap pot metal which is extremely soft (which leads to damaging), and is very difficult to repair (most techs won't even look at flutes like this). They also tend to have a poor scale, and the headjoint generally leaves much to be desired. The mechanism is not at all smooth, and generally, it's a very poor quality instrument. It's best to steer clear of any non brand name instrument if at all possible.

ok thankyou... and thankyou to andrewb for recomending some great brand flutes... unfortunately mum doesnt want to spend to much so we r looking at some 2nd hand options

this is a nice bass flute
