Thank you Yes, I do love my Nagahara. It is my third headjoint by that company. I think that is a good sign that I should just stick to that one. I move way too much for my liking, but I can't stop no matter how hard I try. I wanted to load some classical pieces but something is wrong with my laptop and it wasn't working. I am having my husband fix it right now. Maybe I will be able to load some more tomorrow after I get the other flutes in. My husband and I plan on making a video together. We will have to see if it works out. Thanks again!
kara my coment was to try one of my flute head joints as i have read so many of your posts and respect what you write you are a far superior musician than i will ever be and i felt your coments on my head joints would be invaluable i plan to ask a number of people to try them to get there input so hopefully i can create not just a head joint but a truly magnificent head joint and i feel there would be no better way to quickly gain a reputation for producing a sort after

Oh, okay. I would be more than happy to try out one of your headjoints and give you a review. Everyone knows how much of a headjoint connoisseur I am by now. lol! That is really cool that you make your own headjoints!

Okay, I think I have made up my mind. I decided on the Miyazawa 602 Britannia silver model. While I really loved the 402 it was still a little too bright for me, the 602 tones it down and is darker. The mechanism on the Altus was no where compared to the Miyazawa, but not bad. It just wasn't the flute for me. Thanks everyone for listening! I will continue to post more videos on youtube.
Kara, I haven't been reading much on 8notes for a while, so I was just catching up a little today and saw your video. You sound SOOOOO great - what a gorgeous sound!! I, too, play a Miyazawa and love it. Welcome to the club! Looking forward to many more videos from you.
OMG your playing is amazing, it is so beautiful, i am glad you are keeping your headjoint it sounds amazing but i think your made a good choice which ever you choose because they were all so pretty.
Since you keep go around mentioned it...I repeat my post....
Kara, I don't know why we come to this....!! We were good friends on youtube until I posted a long post praising my Yamaha 211! You then just jump on me with your friends.
Your friend Suzie sent me a private message first, I explained to her on everything...and added:
"I knew Kara for a long time, she was my youtube video viewer and commenter for many years. She has good tones although without good skills."
And then I sent a copy to you on your youtube message. I did not going behind your back to say bad things about you, I copied the message to you! And I only sent it to Suzie! no body else, why you again falsely accuse me that I am sending messageSSSS to your friends behind your back saying bad things left and right??!!
You have been critisizing me on youtube and on this forum on my playing, I don't mind, but why can't I critisize you in return? I actually mentioned your tones are good, commented to your video 100% positive, and messaged you several times to praise you. Why can't I say what I feel about your cracking notes, uneven passage notes, and sometimes your C is +40% sharp?
I am not perfect, I am still a student, and you are not perfect but with a very good tone. Let's critisize each other and improve...instead of going mad at me!! Did I ever go mad at you when you critisized my playing many times before?
If I offended you and made you feel unhappy with my private message. I am sorry. Let's be cool. No need to bring it to the forum.

Because you have NO room to criticize her wonderful playing.
and she is intune and i heard to uneven passages, so you dont know what you are talking about.
