Gemeinhardt 3SHB & 33SHB ft. Galway Crusader headjoint [Flute Center]

[@ill_prepared_optimist]

Mouth diagrams are awesome. Thanks for doing such in-depth reviews. Most others I've watched just give the specs and then play a song, but I'm learning so much from your videos. I really appreciate all the work and thought that you put into these.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+GehneeMarie Thank you so much! I'm just making reviews that _I_ would want to watch. 😊 I'm glad you enjoy them too! I'll keep those diagrams going!

[@captmorgs]

I've had a 3OSHB Gemeinhardt for about 7 years, and it has served me extremely well. Got me into a music school with a big scholarship. All the ways you described it, and the way you have to play it (including some of it's negatives) we're spot on and you took the words right out of my mouth! It's an extremely good intermediate model flute, especially if you can figure out how to play it the way she describes. I'm currently looking for a professional flute, and after watching your Muramatzu video and trying a few models for myself, I'm totally in love. Your videos are extremely informative and helpful, for beginners to college students to professionals. Thank you for doing what you do!

I’m supposed to be doing an AP World History study guide, but here I am.

[@andrewedwards6233]

My understanding of Sir James Galway's flute when he won the Berlin post was that it was a silver Cooper flute, No. 164, but with a Haynes silver headjoint. I believe he recorded the Mozart Flute and Harp concerto on it. Cooper's own headjoints were neither the raised pattern or straight across, so the Gemeinhardts are completely different.

[@jewels4236]

I have the gemeinhardt 30B, for awhile and this flute is serving me really great for a while and it’s my first intermediate flute 🥰

[@ttm894]

What pumps the blood of a flutist? A germind-HEART

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

D'awwwwww

[@Andromeda-mz1qk]

The Tabletop Mage lol i have a gemeinhardt too

[@ttm894]

Andromeda21 Ayyy same!

[@creepymiku3598]

The Tabletop Mage That was SANSational!! MEOW how bad was that XD

[@ttm894]

CreepyMiku :3 lol what's a sans?

[@danaheath-thomas1423]

I have a 3sb and have had it for 20 years or so. It is amazing. They make awesome flutes. (I also live in Indiana, so it's nice I could support my state since they are an Indiana company)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Awesome!! ^_^

[@acerjuglans]

Absolutely agree! My student flute is well over 30 years old - still works and plays beautifully! (And my mother lives in Indiana, so yes, it's great to support a local business). 🖒🎶🎶

[@lamontbarlow9296]

I just purchased a 33SHB with an NG1 head joint, and I found this video to be EXTREMELY helpful, especially with the NG1 head joint which is quite different from any other head joint I’ve ever tried. I’ve always appreciated your diagrams and descriptions. Thank you!

[@MonkeyFunp]

Hey Joanna, I was just wondering... how did you initially find out that you had a special type of acidity in your finger sweat(lol that sounds weird). I’m asking because the silver on my flute’s body is fading and turning orange around the keys. Keep in mind I’ve only had this flute for a few months. I think it might be my fingers too but I’m not sure. Any answer would be appreciated, thanks :)

[@huskypuppypaws4850]

I love your flute covers

[@santiagacasas7041]

I started playing the flute a month ago. For Christmas I got a flute, and it has the NG1 headjoint (I started on my friends old flute). Before then I had no idea that there was a variety of headjoints! I love it. It’s got such a warm tone compared to the one my friend has. Your review was so accurate and I’m going to try the embouchure you mentioned.

[@loztheviolinist]

Thank you for saying that there’s nothing wrong about not playing an open holed model flute as your fingers can’t cover the holes. When I was upgrading to my intermediate model I tried an open holed flute without the plugs. Left hand fingers covered them fine, but on the right hand I couldn’t get my fingers to cover the holes correctly and I would shoot straight to the top of the fourth octave. My flute teacher put it down to bad technique, but I have really small hands and shortish fingers with slim fingertips. So I have decided to stick with the closed hole option. Also I think my right hand is on the lazy side due to it being my bowing hand when I learning the violin. Much love xx

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Oh, you're absolutely welcome!! I have a few friends who absolutely have to leave the ring finger key of each hand plugged because their hands are literally too short and too narrow to cover those holes. And that's totally fine--no one can tell the difference anyway! We're all different, and that's what makes each one of us beautiful.

[@shan3510]

I've been looking to buy myself a new flute and I've been eyeing these models. This video was extremely well-made and helpful! Thank you so much!

[@raymae60]

I stepped up from Gemeinhardt all- plated C to a 3s, b-foot all-silver with J1 headjoint. I immediately got many positive comments about how my playing suddenly improved. Then I bought an NG1, which increased upper range and projection but there has been a learning curve. At least I don't need a mic now. As you mentioned, particularly to work in the upper register, one must indeed squeeze from the sides with enlarged inner mouth as when singing baritone. I am a lifelong trumpet and recorder player who began flute about 4 yr. ago. I am fascinated with it. I play mainly modern christian worship with an ensemble, switching between brass and flute. They use opposite embouchures, but everything else is the same. The NG1 offers a much to explore, but now I am curious about the Gallway replica and wondering if it may offer what I get from the NG1 but with possibly more precision. By the way, I love your vids. Your diagrams and detailed comments are quite helpful.

[@ken-tk9io]

Just ordered my Gemeinhardt Professional Flute Model 33SHB!! So excited

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Yay!!!!

[@rileyzielinski4059]

I'm really late on this, but I recently purchased the 33OSHB with the crusader headjoint and solid silver body, and it is far and away the best instrument I have ever played. Huge fan.

[@woodwind1826]

Wow I love these types of flutes

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

They're great!!

[@jps30]

Haven't played consistently since high school, many years ago. Need to find the time again.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Jay Sanders Maybe just start out with some good old pracrastination! It's when you procrastinate with practicing other things besides what you should be practicing. It gets you excited about music again!

[@christiangemeinhardt2493]

Glad you like it.

[@lois2911]

I'm so glad you said that it ain't nothing wrong with covering the holes. 😁That came from a professional, folks!!! I am challenging myself, though. I have about 13 hours invested in learning the flute.😏

[@loveablebubbaloo]

I love my Gemeinhardt! I would love to test out some other Gemeinhardt models too. I would love the Galway C1 headjoint addition to my flute.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Awesome!!! Gemeinhardt really stepped up their game!!

[@loveablebubbaloo]

I definitely hear the difference in mine. I'm going to try out some of the tips you gave for the air control. thanks so much! You are awesome!

[@user-hy9vn6nd4g]

I got a Gemeinhardt 2sp in 6th grade when I started playing flute, since that was the flute EVERYBODY got. It treated me so well, but I didn’t feel like I sounded as good as I could. I then moved on to the Pearl 525 in 8th grade, but it was always about 20 cents sharp, and I used it for marching, which ruined it. Now, I have the Miyazawa 202, I couldn’t be happier, thanks to your video reviews!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Anna OMG, that is awesome!! We all have very similar flute journeys, but it's so awesome to hear that I helped!! 😊

[@ill_prepared_optimist]

Another thought for future reviews. Can you do a higher intermediate flute vs a lower professional flute? Like a solid silver intermediate flute vs silver plated (silver headjoint) professional model? Ex. Amadeus 700 vs Haynes Q1. Azumi AZ3 vs Altus 807/907. Or other cheapest fancy brand vs fanciest cheap brand. Or is that too "apples to oranges?" Sometimes it seems it isn't that much more expensive to bump up to that professional flute, but do you lose a lot going back down to silver plated (with silver headjoint) vs the tone quality from the solid silver of the intermediate flute?

[@robertjohnston5011]

Thanks for that demo and explanation of the headjoint and the mouth control issues, which I'm going to be practicing from now on, to discover lots of options. I'm one who also insists on the lip plate part on the far side of the player, where the air has gone past the tone hole, be pressed down out of the way of the air, so no air hits it. The reason is only because any air hitting metal creates a wind noise, and microphones pick that up. Maybe you don't notice it playing without a microphone, but for recording purposes, this is an important issue. So no matter how good a player you are, especially in quieter playing, you don't want to be playing into a microphone in the studio or on stage and creating any extra air friction noise on the flute tube or its added parts. (You can test this out yourself to see what I mean, by blowing air in a straight line and then lowering the flute about 3 inches to the right of the tone hole, down across that stream of air. Notice the sound of air striking the flute tube as it crosses the air stream. You can hear it, but a quality microphone might hear more of it. Players in the studio and using stage mics have to figure out how to get MUSIC into the microphone without letting the air that's gone past the flute to go right at the microphone (microphones also become noise generators if non-musical wind hits them!), unless you're playing the Vivaldi "Noisy Hurricanes And Tornados Concerto". That Galway headjoint with the contoured shape is likely concerned with that, among other things, since Sir J.G. is a recording studio and live performance regular who relies on high quality microphones and peak tonal quality and who won't want any excess air noise anywhere. On a cheap $500 flute I had, I just took pliers and bend the metal down and out of the way, but I would NOT recommend that to others, since the riser, if made of pure silver, is not structurally strong and you can't afford to bend it too. Only the small lip plate area on the far side of the air-stream path needs moving out of the way. You could ask a local flute repair person if they can help you, if you too want to try this. No, do NOT try this at home, at least on the flutes you might EVER expect to sell again or if the flute is worth more than about $500 new. If you damage the riser, you're in for a $300+ repair bill. The lip plate itself will only withstand a very little movement out of shape of how it was made, because notice that they all seem to have bent-over edges on the sides, which will prevent the main part of the lip plate from moving much at all. You also don't want to bend the lip plate much, because you tempt the bad fate of causing a separation of the lip plate from the riser. Fixing THAT problem with a home welding kit isn't going to produce fun results. Only a small amount of adjustment is needed, but the tools that a pro flute repair person has, plus a little heating up of the metal at the time, can make this procedure simple, quick and safe.

[@anr2015RBLX]

I have a Gemeinhardt 2sp from when I first started 11 years ago and I love it a lot!! I just need to overhaul it and I wish I could afford an upgrade to the 3shb in the future!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

That is awesome!! Gemeinhardts are amazing!

[@anr2015RBLX]

I miss playing with groups and playing my flute part time, hopefully I can get my flute overhauled soon!!

[@timedriverable]

Yoy did'nt mention the platinum in the silver head joint of the Galway

[@justinmathew6125]

Amazing review! Can’t wait to see future videos that you have planned!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Thanks so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! ^_^

[@davehflute1134]

Great review. Did a coa on an older Gemeinhardt flute during my flute repair initiation course today :)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Dave H_Flute Awesome!! Flute repair is so so cool!

[@davehflute1134]

JustAnotherFlutist Until today I never realised how labour intensive it is. Hats off to all flute repair techs 👍

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

So much respect 🙌

[@laura8700]

I love u Joanna! :)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

You got this!!!!

[@laura8700]

JustAnotherFlutist thank you 😊

[@Barti22xD]

I would love to see your review or a video of an alto flute :D

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Bartixxowy I'll keep it in mind! 😊

[@chinechinecherie]

OMG you're reviewing my flute! Gotta watch:-)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+chinechinecherie Hahaha, is it accurate? 😊

[@Aussie.Lassie]

Absolute loving your videos. Your humour wrapped around your seriousness makes my little ADD brain focus lol! By the way: RIP earphones and eardrums on the Gizmo sound haha.

[@kevinesquivel9823]

I love my gaminhardt I have a 2sp plays soooo beautiful and soooo free I try and play other flutes and it doesn’t feel the same if your looking for an amazing flute go gaminhardt they also make amazing piccolos I own the 4sp

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kevin Esquivel That's awesome!! Gemeinhardt quality and price are pretty hard to beat nowadays!

[@DoubleDomino]

I have this with the J headjoint. I love it so much :)

[@ginagamba]

I typically play open-hole but keep plugs on hand in case of finger injury.

[@kyrstenshrewsberry4623]

Great comparison! I’ve been playing on a Gemeinhardt 50series since 2003ish and I love it! I got the opportunity to try out the Crusader head-joint at NFA bac’ in August, I was very much impressed! Even in the crowded loud exhibition hall, you could tell a big difference. Have any thoughts on doing a review of bass flutes? Gemeinhardt black, Gemeinhardt silver, Pearl, Trevor James, Jupiter? Thanks!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Hahahaha, lots of people have been asking about alto and bass flutes. I'll see what FCNY has in stock and what's popular so I can find out why they're popular ;)

[@pedrohbrinck]

Notification SQUAD!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Oh man, I'd watch that!

[@pedrohbrinck]

yes!! I really feel that pianists should do that, because you know, some digital pianos - especially those that can be found on group piano labs are okay for studying over a bad acoustic. Buuuut, most of the reviews doesn't showcase what a pianist actually needs to do on classical repertoire. But I love your reviews... your discussion on technique on this one is A M A Z I N G . Never thought that everything inside the mouth could actually have infuence on how your flute sounds. Really! I never thought about it!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Thank you so much!!!! I've been thinking about how to make these videos better, and I think the drawing really helps! It's not a true review if I don't _actually_ talk about how the flute _actually_ works!

[@pedrohbrinck]

Now I understand why Alexandre - a senior flutist - say that flutists are the best kissers... ahahaha gosh, so much work with the tongue and mouth. Gosh, so complex!!!

[@pedrohbrinck]

Yes! I find interesting how you discuss technique on each aspect of flute playing and how it feels on that flute. Even each flutist being different and every flutist playing on their own way, I find fascinating. Really. Because flute tecnique seems to depend heavily on the model of the flute. Videos like this are not just reviews, are flute classes in miniature!

[@aluvrianne]

I've never been a big Gemi flute fan (even though I like and own two of their piccs). That Galway model . . . holy smokes! I might just have to get my hands on one of those.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Yep, I'm seriously impressed with how they've re-engineered the whole process of making their flutes!!

[@Andromeda-mz1qk]

I love your videos... Can you please make a video on low notes embouchure please? I am a beginner flutist and in my band we do some low songs and my notes sound really hollow. Also can you teach tone please? My notes always sound really straight forward and not so flowy, if you know what i mean. Thank you!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

You may want to check out my Curious.com videos for that! Flute 101 might be what you're looking for. However, you can also just keep watching these reviews to get some ideas on how to get low notes out, and that way, you'll have a bunch of different ways to try out on your flute. You can see which way your flute prefers. It doesn't all work the same way on every flute!

[@Andromeda-mz1qk]

JustAnotherFlutist ok thank you so much!

[@GER_1]

Thank you so much! I'm between the Gemeinhardt 30SHB, Gemeinhardt 30B and Di Zhao 300 for playing jazz and flamenco mostly, but I really like Di Zhao sweetness, but it seems a flute more focused for academic music... Is that true? Which one would you recommend me? I'd really appreciatte your help! Have a nice day!!!

[@ashkundal]

Quick Request!: Could you do a practice with me about Siciliana and Giga from Sonata V, 15 for flute??

[@BestdaughtereverEver]

Is this flute the same as Gemeinhardt flute 33OSB professional model?

[@sarah-gc1te]

Random question, but is it possible for you to tell me the sequence of notes you play from about 7:09-7:12. I always hear you play it during these reviews and would love to know.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I honestly don't know what I'm doing!! I'm just usually start from A4, wiggle my way down to the lowest B3, then wiggle my way up to the A5, then I wiggle up to D6, then I wiggle to high G6... then slowly make my way up to D7. Then I do some sort of chromatic wiggle down from D6 to A5, and for some reason I jump down to D5, then A4, then D4, then back up to A4, D5, A5, then D5? Something like that :P

[@goldengamer1420]

Thank you for inspire me

[@dontevenknow6323]

Yay, another video :D

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Yup!

[@FLMan_79]

11:50, 20:42 if anyone wants to compare tone color

[@leonli1715]

OMG now I want another head joint. Can you do a Lafin (and?) nagahara review plzzzzz.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

They're on the list! ;)

[@kuiliangli4367]

JustAnotherFlutist Yessssssssssssssss! U da best!

[@antonpaisov]

hey! great videos, thank you! I'm currently looking for a flute to learn to play for myself and for my 6y.o. daughter :) I'm leaning towards Yamaha YFL-372H (and a curved head for the kid), do you think it's a right way to go? or would you suggest something better? :) thanks!

[@Pokabyss]

oh my god! was just considering getting this flute or the Azumi AZ1 flute but got the Azumi over this one because there’s so much criticism with gemeinhardt

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I'm guessing the criticism is held over from years before? They really stepped up their game lately--I've been really impressed.

[@bluehawk2512]

Can you do a review on metal vs. wooden flute please? Also I love your videos, they helped me pick out a piccolo.

[@tinalee6517]

Hiiiiiii:) Long videos yassssss😍😍😍Can you have some videos to talk about techniques on flute? I've been learning it for a year, and I sometimes encounter difficulties on high register notes, my embouchure gets too tight when I play those notes:(

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Check out my Curious.com page!! I have a course on Flute 101 and Advanced Flute Techniques ;)

[@GG_T.V.]

Omg hearing you pronounce gemeinhardt has me feeling wrong because my whole life in school they called it a GEM-IN-HEART so feel lied to lol or maybe it's because I'm from Texas and was only taught the southern accent lol... Great video btw! Much!

[@mollydreyer538]

I’m a highschooler and I fell in love with the 33shb when I tried it and i can’t afford it and now I’m depressed

[@magicmonkichi]

love all your vids! I play on a Gemeinhardt open hole inline G, C foot (silver) . And have been interested in a wooden headjoint any advice?

[@leannaverma2037]

Hey I was wondering if you could do a review on Yamaha 362H :)

[@evanchu479]

Uuuh guys...so recently I got the 3shb flute, but the keys looked different form the one in this video, It looked broader and not the tight design in the video .And the finish is not as good, so is my flute like an older model? I don't know

[@ryanqu3294]

I had a 1966 Gemeinhardt M3 which I just got rid of... it’s the instrument i used to switch to open hole and i only used it for a month I believe. Compare to my new Yamaha 362H that flute has an extremely tricky headjoint which doesn’t respond very well and I had lot of trouble getting on high F sharp. And that flute was in an awful condition which the keys are not fast enough and the low C sharp key is leaking... but I have to say that flute does not sound bad even compare to my Yamaha. My parents just decided to get me an early professional flute for around $3000 in USD instead of letting me pay off my Yamaha and I want a solid silver body with a C sharp trill. Any suggestions?

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Ah, a new solid silver flute starts at around $5500 or so (look under "Pre-Professional flutes $5500-$7000" on the FCNY website). I'd suggest looking at those flutes, get a feel of the models, and then look for a used version of them to bring the price down. I have quite a few students who have done this to great success! FCNY carries many used flutes, so you can simply ask them in the same email/phone call!

[@ryanqu3294]

JustAnotherFlutist I tried a Yamaha 681 in my local woodwind shop which they asks for $2200 CAD and I feel extremely comfortable with it even though I only picked up the flute three months ago... however it doesn’t have a C sharp trill but I feel it responds better than my 362 for some reason. Also I’m just curious about, how much will a used silver Brannen Kingma cost?

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Wow, any Kingma is gonna tag on a higher price because of the 6 extra keys, and only very specialized flutists will buy it if they play modern music a lot! You may want to think about possibly buying the Yamaha 681 for now and then trading it in for a flute with a C# trill in the future after you've saved up some more? Older flutes tend not to have the C# trill key (although some rare ones do!). You can also have FCNY or your local music store stay on the look out for one with a C# trill key for you! I know tons of people who do that. ;)

[@BigBear1946]

I am an adult beginning flutist. You say in your review of the Galway C-1 Headjoint that he must have lips of steel. Are you saying that this is a very difficult headjoint to get a good tone out of for a beginner and or a very tiring one to play? Would you recommend the NG-1 over the Galway Crusader for a beginner?

[@josevalverde2656]

How to play frullato on the fife in c?

[@jessicadayla]

Can confirm their customer support is top notch. I was really surprised when they offered to fix something I considered meaningless cosmetic at no cost, while I just wanted them to know so that if there were issues with production, they could be addressed.

[@jessicadayla]

The beginner model is my fiirst and current flute, wish I could play more, but illness and school has me pinned down >_

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+JDDBeyondTheSky I know!!! That's what I keep hearing!! It makes me so happy 😊

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+JDDBeyondTheSky Keep chugging along and don't forget to enjoy the music 😉 It doesn't matter how fast or slow you learn, at the end, it's all the same music!

[@jessicadayla]

Thanks ^_^ Looking forward to next week, after a transfusion I shouldn't get so exhausted so quickly :)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

All the best!!!

[@dirtywashedupsparkle]

Thanks again - I really thought the diagram at about 7.00 was picture of you slapping your forehead though! It was fine once I worked it out, the diagrams are fine.

[@kamerinhull6783]

Resona R150 or Sonare 505 please !!!!!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Sure, I'll add them to the list!

[@timr3826]

JustAnotherFlutist I’m not a professional musician, but I 100% plan to be when I am older, I hate practicing, what can I do to motivate myself(if anyone else can help that would be great!)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Well, first off, always set aside something FUN to play around with (not practice) after every practice session. It can be anything. A cover of your favourite song, a theme from your favourite movie, etc. That way, when you practice, you're not _just_ practicing and drilling the same exercises over and over. You have something fun to look forward to, and you'll even notice that your practicing will pay off and make your fun stuff sound even better!

[@timr3826]

Ok thanks for the great advice👍👍 I wasn’t expecting this comment to be replied by you, as most popular youtubers don’t usually reply and I am very greatful, 😀

[@Bobthe1st2]

hey Joana ive been trying to contact you on instagram lately but I have another question again. I had a chat with my band director last week and we were talking about step up instruments and he told me that it would be better for me to get a used flute rather than buying a new one. He said it'll favor me both in the price and quality because apparently instruments get better within time. I would like to know if this is true, I tend to doubt him a lot but I just want to be certain.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Isaac Navarro It's absolutely true. 😉 Ask FCNY what they have in stock!

[@Bobthe1st2]

Sorry for all the questions but ah once again I have another important one. Since I am looking to upgrade and benefit from a higher quality/intermediate instrument is it essential that I get an all silver/sterling silver bodied flute? I'm currently looking at the pearl 505 which is only silver plated. will this hold me back any? I've been playing for 6 years now but definetly on a budget!

[@raymae60]

You may have already found a better flute, but Ebay lists a lot of Gemeinhardt 3SB flutes, which are all silver and cheaper than other brands. That's where I got mine. It was in good shape and plays really well, definitely a step-up from a plated instrument. Mine is marked 3S and Solid Silver. If you need to play louder, an NG1 headjoint in solid silver was found for around $500 also on Ebay.

[@Noffilus]

so i decided to take flute along the with the cello, IM SO EXCITED but also kinda scared, idk why maybe its because i think i'll fail but i might do super good, i'm so nervous ( ps you are the reason why i started, so thx for that ^_^ )

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

OMG, enjoy your new flute adventures!!!!

[@sortaswim81419]

Notification squad! How do you get 2 piccolos to play in tune? Shoot one of them. JK! But seriously tho, piccolos are VERY hard to tune. My friends both have the Yamaha 62 (one has a wave style headjoint) and one's piccolo is super sharp and one is super flat. Like, she doesn't even have to pull out her headjoint to tune.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Oh nooooo :O XD Hahahahahahaha!!! That is very true--they kinda go haywire depending on the temperature of the room too! It's pretty crazy!! You really have to rely on your ear rather than your instrument to tune well!

[@sortaswim81419]

JustAnotherFlutist Yeah, it also helps that they have different headjoints, but the piccolo is also a bit of an extreme instrument. There really isn't one that is right in the middle in terms of tuning in general. Its either really far right or really far left on the tuning scale.

[@Titanandenceladus]

In my flute choir, we had 2 piccolo players that actually played perfectly in tune. I believe they had the same type of piccolo, a Pearl if I remember correctly. 2 piccolo in tune is a very beautiful sound

[@sortaswim81419]

Titanandenceladus It is. Its just very difficult to tune

[@garywashere_]

Any tips to double tongue?

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Keep watching these. ;) There are so many different ways to double tongue, and it's different on each flute!

[@abbeyk6064]

i have a gemeinwhateverthenameis and i dented the head joint :(

[@sergioacevedo2254]

Do you think that for the long term (many decades- the rest of my life), I'd be better off buying the solid silver 33SSB rather than plated body/mechanism 33SHB? From wiping the flute with a cloth, I do not know how much the silver plating will wear off from the decades of wiping.

[@Jerry-hp5sf]

Sergio Acevedo actually it’s the acid from your skin that will take plating off a flute over time. Wiping helps by removing these acids from the instrument. Plated versus solid silver is more a sound and cost issue. SS is usually more expensive and will give the instrument a brighter, more projected sound.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

What Jerry said!! That reminds me that I should show you guys what happened to my Mateki before I bought it. The previous owner's sweat was so acidic that it took off some of the silver from one of the keys!!

[@sergioacevedo2254]

I see, thank you both for the correction! But in the long term, without regards to monetary or performance value, would a solid silver be better off from acidic wear (or any sort of wear in general) than silver plating?

[@creepymiku3598]

Also be understanding of their budget! Money is not unlimited, and we should all respect each other's budget :)

[@shaunbodnar3246]

hey can you do piccolo lessons

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I teach a few piccolo lessons sprinkled in normal flute lessons :)

[@shaunbodnar3246]

could you do like 1 lesson out of 3 lessons or no

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

It's not structured because it's based on need. The student brings a piece they need to work on for their ensembles, and we'll work on those pieces for that day. I would guess it's more like a day here and there every few months. :)

[@shaunbodnar3246]

its because I don't play flute or piccolo for band but have a piccolo and I don't have a flute but I want to get one because right now I practice on my friends and once I get one I want to practice for awhile then take lessons with you. :/

Sinceramente , no puedo percibir algo interesante en estos modelos New" de Gemeinhardt . Tampoco conozco algún colega que suela tocar con este tipo de instrumento .Yo recomiendo a mis alumnos ir a lo bueno y seguro Yamaha & Pearl flutes . Excelente el video Joanna !!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Art Busker Preferences for flutes differ from flutist to flutist! Yamaha and Pearl flutes are also wonderful but won't fit everyone either ;)

[@ArtBusker]

Exacto !!!

Art Busker Yo toqué un Gemeinhardt 3OSB ( Mi papá me lo regaló en el año 2010) cuando estuve en mi ultimo año de la secundaria y este flauta lo toqué por casi seis años. Desafortunadamente, este Gemeinhardt vino con muchas problemas mecánicos. Ahora toco un Altus. Mi hermana gemela también es flautista y durante casi trece años ella toco en dos flautas Gemeinhardt. La primera fue el 2SP y la otra era un 3SHB. Pero desde el junio ella ahora toca un Powell.

[@ArtBusker]

Que bueno !!! tanto la Altus y la Powell " son excelentes instrumentos . Te felicito !!

[@kiaraeijo]

Art Busker Muchas gracias! 😃Por curiosidad, Que tipo de flauta toca usted?

[@Julia-if4du]

I'm self taught I many string instruments but I want to start learning some woodwind instruments I am deciding between flute and clarinet I would play the flute but i had a bad experience about 3 years ago when someone was teaching me flute but I know the basics and I hated that you could not see the flute at all so it was kinda hard as a beginner and my instructor was a jerk so I don't know if I should start the clarinet or pick up where I left off with the flute to be honest I did not get any were the first time I tried flute so I don't know if it will be the same this time but whichever one I don't play now I'll probably play later

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Oh man, I'm so sorry you had that experience. :( Flute really is very fun if you find the right instructor! I would say just go with whatever you know your heart wants to learn first. Think of it more as "what do I really _want_ to do" rather than "what _should_ I study right now". There's no right or wrong answer! :)

[@liam3779]

Are both factory-made flutes?

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I believe they are. Very well-made though. The Galway Crusader headjoint is made with a super high-tech machine!

[@rebelsprophet7185]

Joanna I have to say your looking good and becoming more prettier in every video!!!

[@parvye]

Diagrams? Production value upgrade~

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Pavel Vorako 🙃 Haha! Thanks!! Seems like everyone likes it!

[@kiaraeijo]

I have an acquaintance/colleague who’s a Gemeinhardt artist and he has a Galway Crusader headjoint. Speaking of Galway, I actually saw him in concert last month performing with the Frost Symphony Orchestra( the orchestra of the University of Miami) and he recently became an Distinguished Presidential Scholar ( basically an artist in residence)😃❤️🎼

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

OMG AMAZING!! He should totally let the Galways know!!

[@kiaraeijo]

JustAnotherFlutist Well, he actually got to go to Switzerland this summer for the Galway Flute Festival and he taught a jazz flute workshop there😊

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

AW YEAH!!!!!

[@MateoFrancisco]

gemeinhardt actually blocked me on instagram. *shrug*

I got this flute for my daughter, she loves it!!! You can see her unboxing video at Diana.flute

[@0cherriesd506]

claulovelycm - how exciting!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+claulovelycm Awesome!! This flute will carry her very far!

[@michelcrowfeather3789]

The diagrams showing balls of air in the mouth, take up way too much time away from the flutes descriptions. To be honest, this aspect should be removed completely,and more time on the sounds and features.🎼
