Haynes Q3 + 14K Rose Gold Riser [Flute Center]

[@rygregory]

I just got my Haynes!!! I went into the whole process expecting to come home with a Japanese-made flute but ultimately narrowed it down to Haynes and Miyazawa after trying out over 20-ish flutes. Haynes won. It’s still being made and I’m so excited to get it!

[@yerayberriopena]

I JUST GOT A PICCOLO!!! YAY

[@Davitor1]

I love this natural look so much better. You definitely don’t need makeup.

[@KarinaEijo]

Super excited to see what kind of Powell you will review for next month!

[@dgrjazz]

I love your reviews. 20 minutes did not seem like a long time at all. Keep them coming and don’t worry about going “long”

[@maniestacio9245]

Insightful review, as always! I actually didn’t miss the on-screen mouth diagrams, I seem to better understand the nuances of each flute by watching you figure them out for yourself. Thanks Joanna! 🎶

[@brendinho1993]

Just bought a Q2 with the 14K riser, but I'm playing with a Powell Aurumite 14k headjoint instead (no insult to Haynes). The articulation clarity is insane...

[@MrsDallimore08]

Brendon Phillips the articulation clarity on which headjoint is insane?

[@brendinho1993]

@@MrsDallimore08 the Powell 14k. The Haynes is great, but the Powell is my favourite out of my 4. The response from the Haynes headjoint (w/ 14k riser) is a bit slower, but brighter with easier projection (even though the first octave is a bit weaker). The flute also has the best high E I've played out of all flutes without a split E.

[@samnicolson1197]

This flute really responds to you, Joanna. I love how it sounds in your hands. The 'front of mouth ball of air' makes total sense to me too.

[@disinshizuzokabutterfly6007]

I still can’t get over how happy I am for you getting married! You deserve to be so happy.

[@jaymeiklejohn2783]

Yes! I’ve been hoping to see you review this flute! Thoroughly enjoyed this review, thank you for doing it! Looking forward to the Powell next!

[@johnnypooncy]

Yes! Just what I wanted

[@MandyHieatt1]

I love having more resistance to my keys on a flute as a piano player. That is why I carry a small screwdriver with my flute to make on the fly adjustments.

[@sueoh4744]

Mandy Hieatt how did you learn to make those adjustments? I fixed a leak myself once, but would be nice to have a chart for reference

[@MandyHieatt1]

@@sueoh4744 trial and error is how I figured it out. If you adjust too tight keys won't move and if it is too loose keys move too much. Although I love my flute, she did not cost me that much so I am not afraid to try things on her.

[@mandohoney]

I love and learn from every second of your reviews!

[@brynna6868]

Will you ever review a wooden flute?

[@samnicolson1197]

I would love to see that!

[@nightingalehollow]

This flute actually sounded superp on you, Joanna. So many natural colors... I fell in love

[@60darklord]

Nightingale my friend plays a Haynes, and i do NOT like it. She sounds okay on it though! To each their own.

[@fluteplayermen9376]

The sound is extraordinary ! I love this thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@Anunnaki3000A.C]

I loved the harmonic! Is very clean.

[@MrsDallimore08]

Wow Joanna, if you ever decide you want to get a new silver flute, that’s the one

[@willistaylor4077]

It certainly had a powerful sounding tonal output.

[@bwigiwigington4360]

In a previous video you compared the Q1 to the Q2. Do you find any differences between the Q2 and the Q3? The specs seem very similar. I'm shopping for flutes now but it's a slow process due to the pandemic. I have a trial with a Q1 and an upcoming trial with a Q2. I have a severe nickel allergy. The Q3 might be worth the extra cost for me just to know that if there is ever any wear to the surface I will not be exposed to nickel from under the plating. I adore the Haynes tone and I am really enjoying the trial with the Q1. Beyond the price difference and plated keys I'd love to know if you found and major differences between the Q2 and the Q3.

[@jarofjam3967]

Omg I actually remember I realized something weird about that range a while ago and now I’m starting to figure it out. Also Joanna, do you think you can do a video on tone color? I’m always confused about how flutists can change tone color with the shapes of their mouth and I’m honestly confused about what general colors we can make and how they sound.

[@chrischui]

I am so surprised that the top F# came out so easily

[@armandmarx9304]

I got a new flute yesterday

[@houtblazer]

Anyone experience with the Haynes Q-fusion?

[@rygregory]

houtblazer I’ve only ever heard great things. My friend works for a flute retailer and she tells me that it’s the best of both worlds of a silver and gold flute. She claims that all the customers who have bought it, always seem to come back to the store to tell her how much they love it. She says not all buyers of flutes make a point to come back with such enthusiastic reviews. In fact, it might be my next flute!

[@ghislaindesrosiers8074]

LOVE you !

[@justinblawat2058]

Do you know if the trials are eligible for head joints or is it only for flutes?

[@taylormichaud4312]

Omg, have you ever thought of reviewing a glissando head joint

[@chrisdeeonajackson9845]

How big of a difference is there between 9k rose gold and 15k rose gold? Well... besides price?(sound-wise)

[@Jenifer.flute20]

No wonder that flute looks HUGE in your hands. I didn't know that Brannens are a smaller tube.

[@johnnypooncy]

Can you review a professional Haynes flute? With the P and N cut?

[@cc_mi_2379]

Can you make a video testing wish flutes because I’m curious ( I’m not looking to buy one I just think it would be cool and also it would help beginners to find a starter flute)

[@angelica_alvarado]

oh yeah yeah

[@city4497]

my flute! :D

[@KarinaEijo]

Wow! I’ve tried a couple of Haynes and I really didn’t like them for me. You make it sound impressive! I’m surprised that my flute has similar specs and it’s not that price. I have a Powell Signature.

[@pbnj4lyfe298]

I hope the next Powell review will be on the Signature model!

[@rygregory]

Interesting. I ended with a Haynes because it was my favorite of my blind play tests and the Powell Signature was my first immediate “no”. But I know tons of people who sound amazing on the Powells. Go figure.

[@KarinaEijo]

Hector Meza I’m pretty sure she has done that one already

[@KarinaEijo]

Rylan Carpena I definitely prefer Haynes over most Japanese flutes though.

[@KarinaEijo]

Rylan Carpena Which Haynes do you have?

[@zak3583]

Love u Lots Joanna ❤️❤️

[@jarofjam3967]

I HATE metal buckles. They always dent and so I prefer plastic

[@keithridenhour7033]

The way you talk about what goes inside your mouth/oral chamber should be an ahhh haaaaa moment for most flutists. Ksaxman

[@midnight_alen7389]

you deserve a lot more subscribers 😭 this channel is very entertaining and informative at the same time 🩶

[@justanotherfluteguy]

Oh yeah Powell!! #TeamPowell
