My trusty Gemeinhardt P-SH from the 90s has gotten "Squirrelly", per the local tech. It is more Loc-Tite in the mechanism than is reliable. I like a metal headjoint shape. Any thoughts? I play for fun. I love a silver headjoint for the feel and ease of switching. Excellent review. My highschool flute teacher wasn't surprised that I excelled at piccolo in college due to my "thin lips".

Are you interested in the Guo. A metal flute does have that great sound you are attracted to but these Guo flutes serve a purpose. They are light and can be played outside with no problems. If that would help you I would go with a Guo. But if those issues aren’t yours then go with the silver or silver plated.

Seems nice. Likely better than my old plastic Bundy piccolo.

[@DoctorFlute]

Yes I do believe it would be. Try it out!

[@michaellee2731]

I would love to see the bass flute

[@DoctorFlute]

I would love to do that as well. Look for a future video!
