However, since last week, I realized that this one is not much better. At the time, I was pleased with the outcome. After a few weeks, it had so many adjustment issues that Gemeinhardt just replaced the entire instrument. I had a student who INSISTED on buying a new Gemeinhardt KGM. I agree with comments about Gemeinhardts. Not all flutes are the same, even if they are the same model. After you have decided on a specific model, play several of that model. What seams like a great deal is not always worth the money. The manufacturer WILL NOT give you any indication of anything negative about their flutes. One piece of advice that I can give is: don't believe everything that you hear/read about ANY flute. This is simply because I know how expensive flutes are and I HATE it when a player saves to buy something that will last a lifetime, only to buy a flute that he/she is very disatisfied with in a few months or years. I know that I sometimes come across with a vey negative attitude aboute some flutes. I have never heard anything bad about Yamaha, but my experiences with anything above a student model is very limited. I have one student who plays a Miyazawa, and she sounds fantastic on it! I believe Miyazawa is a little cheaper as far as price is concerned. VERY impressed with intonation, structure, and overall tone. I really like Muramatsu (I have a bottom of the line EX that I use when I travel).
