My original flute has been sent in to be fixed and so they gave me a rental one for school. When I play it, it sounds like I just started playing a few days ago. I can barely make a sound on it. I can play my broken flute better than I can play this one. When I played my original flute, the sound was a bit airy, but the sound was A LOT clearer than on this one. I'm not doing anything different. I'm first chair and we have contest coming up and I have a solo. HELP

There is never a good time to send your instrument in for repairs. And loaners are often less than good enough to get by, as you are finding out. With my Horn students I have a top end horn I loan out to them when they need it but very few private teachers do this.

If you have a private teacher ask them if they, or one of their advanced students, has a second or old flute they could rent to you until yours comes back.That's really the only solution I can think of.

Maybe you could change your rental instrument with another in better condition? Try at the same rental shop, perhaps they could help.

Why are you asking on a forum about this? How are we going to fix this broken flute for you? Go take it back to the music store. Wow! That was a hard one!

That was not a friendly answer indeed. It is preferable to stay silent than to be unnecessarily rough

This "someone" joined this forum recently and has frequently been rude and obnoxious. Because there is no longer a "thumbs up/thumbs down" feature, the only thing you can do is use the Report button to flag the postings for the moderator. I know that many people have done this already.

Moderator(s), where are you when we need you?

I think someone337 wants a hug, and is going the wrong way about it.

Let's hope that "some" people learn from feedback.
