Wonderful flute

Review Date: August 15, 2009

Reviewer: Casey Brennan, Riverside Ca

I have had this type of flute for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it. I have never had any issues with repairs and I haven't needed any pad replacement. I also have a Gemeinhardt M2 that I used for about 6 years, 4 of which were through marching band and that poor flute put up with everything and never quit on me. I was the section leader and I was fixing my sections flutes every day with popped out springs and dead keys and never once had any issues with my "gemeiny". Maybe it's just personal use but I have had 4 different flutes during my 11 years of playing and Gemeinhardt is the best.

I respect the high school student's review, however, for the price, she could have purchased a far superior flute. I majored in flute in undergraduate school and it was there that I learned how Gemeinhardt flutes just don't hold up. Repairs become frequent and costly.

Wonderful Flute for a student

Review Date: January 30, 2008

Reviewer: 3@Lc, NJ

I have been playing for about 6 years now, and am at an advanced high school level. (concertos, sonatas; LOTS of Bach). This was my first open-hole flute, although I have the offset-G key, which helps with transitioning to open hole. For a student flute, it has excellent tone, and it is very easy to produce a full range of dynamics. The flute is also very comfortable to play on, as the keys and infrastructure of the flute are well placed. The lower range, including the low B has a very nice sound and the notes are fairly easy to produce. I have been playing on this flute for about 3 years, and my older, beginners flute and piccolo are both Gemeinhardts. Gemeinhardt is an excellent brand for student flutists and even more experienced players, so I highly recommend any of their instruments. This is a great flute for anyone starting open-hole or just looking for a reliable instument. If you can afford it, the Gemeinhardt 3SB, with a solid silver body, produces an even nicer, more resonant tone, but this model also has a wonderful sound.
