My best friends gold plated Pearl. Hahaha! JK!!

Okay, seriously, I think I have a toss up, either between a Bundy or Venus.

"Terry" Brand PVC flute. Leave it to a tuba player to make the worst flute in the world. XD figures.

Simba. Even the name gives me chills!!!

a "Monique" flute from China

A friends 25 year old jupiter beginner flute

I vote SIMBA! I like...ummm...simba from lion king though. And then there are others sold...in grocery/the like stores...like Sam's Club or Target or whatever. Oh goodness.

Simba, and ones made by flute dealers!

Epiphone flutes.....ugh.

Virtuosi flute, from e-bay, resembles a flute, but thats as far as it goes. Going to be a lamp-stand oneday.

Vivace chinese brand...euch.... *shudder*

Suzie: Yes!

I know that my old instructor had a student with a first act flute, and the end kept falling off... Why even bother to buy a first act instrument? Waste of money and materials...

I think my 30 years old M2 Gemeinhardt would be a good candidate, particularly after playing on a Yamaha 674 with a DA Nagahara HJ.

But I feel grateful to this old instrument, it allowed me to start learning and continued working faithfully for some 3-4 years.

So in gratitude I must withdraw its candidature.

a simba i got off ebay, didn't work at all (the footjoint didn't even go on the body)

easy.. armstrong emeritis. an attempt at a mass produced artist flute. lousy scale. couldn't play it in tune to save my soul.

now I have a murimatsu with a custom built alexander eppler wooden headjoint. sweet.
