Haynes Q1 and Q2 [Flute Center]

[@HippitusHoppitus]

video request: how you can tell a flute matches you and things to look out for when purchasing a new flute

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

honestly you really just have to try the flute first. but in these reviews she talks about that a little bit. But it is such a broad topic its hard to say in a video for thousands and thousands of people

[@samanthac4644]

I have the Haynes Q2 and I’m obsessed ahh!

[@Smood47]

I would be curious to see what Emmanuel Pahud would say about these detailed air stream/ball of air in the mouth descriptions that JAF gives for all these flutes. I mean sometimes its egg shaped and then its tortoise shaped and its reflecting of 3 mm on a corner of your 4th tooth on the top. lol. Emmanuel simply says project the air up to a point between your eyes.

[@ng6618]

Please review the Yamaha 677 flute. They redesigned the flute series.

[@hamedakrami9699]

I'm watching this right before my all state auditions! I'm just using all of your exercises as warm ups now! Thanks!!! Also, amazing review! (As always!)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Hamed Akrami Hahahahahaha! I love that this helped you out! KICK SOME AUDITION BUTT, WOOHOO!!

[@KevinKingII]

also could you review the powell conservatory flute

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kevin King On the list! 😊

[@justanotherfluteguy]

I play on a Powell Conservatory Aurumite Flute and I absolutely love it!!

[@nightingalehollow]

Please compare the Powell Conservatory to the Burkart Professional (as these flutes are very comparable (Lilian Burkart worked at Powell for many years)). Maybe a big comparison between Powell, Burkart, Brannen and Haynes? This would be fun!!!

[@cronusmobile1712]

Can you review the Yamaha 577

[@jcididijcicico2642]

Cronus Mobile OH YES PLEASE!!!

[@kristaramsay8052]

Cronus Mobile I would like to second that request! A side by side of the 577/677/777 world be especially great.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Cronus Mobile On the list!

[@cronusmobile1712]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@ryanmikalson]

+Cronus Mobile I agree as well! +JustAnotherFlutist I second what +Krista Ramsay would like!

[@emilio9979]

Would you recommend the Q1/Q2 over the Amadeus by Haynes 900?

[@fluteberriesmusic711]

Emilio Montes-Pace I would like to know too! =^~^=

[@RosemarieNorton]

I own the Q2 and tried it for 10 days against the Amadeus. I love the Q2 MUCH more

[@PooMonkeyMan]

The two are on different levels. The Amadeus line is the step-up series for flute players looking for a better instrument than their starter flute. The Q series is the equivalent of a “conservatory” line, where the instrument is more handmade and mimics handmade quality at a more affordable price (i.e - the poor student). Personally, it’ll have to depend on your needs and where you are in terms of flute progress. If you’re the diehard major, perhaps the Q series would be better. If you’ve outgrown your beginner flute and you’re not looking to become a professional, then the Amadeus line might be better for you and your wallet.

[@felicityalonzo544]

Hello! I'm actually thinking about getting the Q1, so this helps a lot with my decision!

[@ashleyhilton7757]

I love this video series! It is extremely helpful!

[@jadeintheparke1]

Joanna, it finally happened. My 9 year old sister has started playing the flute. As a percussionist/brass/string (ok, doesn't really count because it's a uke but whatever) player I don't know how to feel about having a woodwind player in the family ;). I used what I remembered from you teaching your mom how to play to help her, which was pretty funny.

[@rekaanna21]

I have been playing the flute for quite a long time, but I don't really understand/feel what you're talking about with changing the way of air spinning in the mouth. Maybe because I was not taught in America, my awareness differs from yours. Do you have a video where you explain this in detail?

[@lizgarcia7732]

could you please reveiw different metals of flutes and headjoints if you can❤I love you videos

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+liz Garcia Working on that! 😊

[@emmawilding886]

the flute chooses the flautist. very very true.I got the Q2 last year.I was 13 and i am COMPLETELY IN LOVE. my tone has improved greatly because of the different embouchure required. i spent 4 hours in the store. i tried 11 flutes, and spent the last 2 hours deliberating over a muramatsu, a miyazawa and a haynes Q2. i eventually realised i'd been in love with the haynes from the beginning and just liked the others because i'd heard they were great brands but really the haynes was the right fit for me and upon further research i realised that haynes is also a fantastic brand with amazing quality, i just hadn't heard of them yet.

[@03Venture]

Emma Wilding Miyazawa flutes are great too.

[@Ellinor99]

I have a second hand Yamaha 511 (silver) which I have had for more than 20 years. Am now loking at getting a new flute and am trying the Haynes Q2. I am just not sure if I would be making a step up or down. If I should do a full service on my Yamaha or buy the Haynes. Any suggestions? 🤔😊

[@KimberlyBellMT-BC]

Thanks for the review. Considering a new flute and got to try a Q2 at my local music store today - nice instrument. Still looking before I make a decision.

[@alyssamay3192]

Can you make a video about flute repertoire

[@fancyflutist1]

Great review! I play on a Haynes Classic and have been very curious about the Q series for my students. Thanks for the in depth review!

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

My local music store actually has a Q2 that they have been trying to sell for years so they have knocked down the price to 3,000 so I think Im going to get it yay!

[@houtblazer]

Could you review a Nagahara some time?

[@jcflute-ky1yq]

You should do a video on how the Alexander Technique can help improve your flute playing.

[@stellafoster4732]

These videos are so helpful! Please do more!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Stella Foster Will do!

[@MateoFrancisco]

can you review the Jupiter 611

[@saunganli7942]

Does the lip close to the edge of the flute instead go to the middle. I found a lot of fluid accumulate in the head joint in winter and this makes watery sound.

[@pizzahoed]

can you review yamaha intermediate flutes

[@markruby2434]

I have been playing the flute for many years and I must say I have no idea what you are talking about when you elaborate on air movement and spin.

[@dave_3373]

Just bought a Trevor James Virtuoso with a 14k rose gold-plated lip, riser and inside headjoint. Would love to hear your opinion on it.

[@yerkopizarrovera65]

can you try an alto or bass flute? i think they are so beautiful instruments

[@infamousBlader]

Please make a comparison video of the Yamaha 222 (or 221) and the Pearl Pf500 (or Pf505). Both are student model flutes. I am looking to buy a new flute, but I can't decide which brand to get! I've heard positive feedback on both flutes, but I'm really leaning towards the Pearl. Please Help! :o

[@haileys8120]

have you heard the flight of the Piasa if not you should listen to it it's so cool

[@haileys8120]

right Joanna?

[@karlystrang2144]

Could you maybe try out a couple of the Gemeinhardt intermediate level flutes? I'm looking for a new one and I have had a student Gemeinhardt but I'm curious about the intermediates.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Karly Strang I hear they're awesome! I'll put them down on my list too!

[@sofiyah9552]

any chance of wooden flutes?

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

what about them?

[@sofiyah9552]

Rosemary Crafting was asking for her to review them?

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

oh i was cunfused

[@beth5051]

I have an intermediate flute by Haynes. It's a 'Ventus.' I really love it

[@ongtengkee9225]

Is it written BEIJING on the flute?

[@03Venture]

Ong Teng Kee 🤣

[@evamarek5205]

I understand these flutes are made in China and finished in the USA.

[@michaelhung2990]

Does anyone know what the benefits are of a handmade flute because I see some flutes in some online shops are the same model but have drastically different prices just because one is handmade

[@vintagehaynesflute]

Michael Hung handmade flutes are usually made for professionals or semipro players and as such the manufacturer takes much more care with the build process. That's why it costs more than a machine made flute

[@liljen9772]

If you could review the Di Zhao 700 that would be great!!!!!!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Lil Jen On the list!

[@60darklord]

Did i hear a D7 played on the Q2? (;

[@mysticflutist4697]

I want to order the Q1,and when I select the head joint it doesn't say stirling silver.Am I supposed to put none or what?

[@vintagehaynesflute]

MysticFlutist I think (think?) that Haynes uses coin silver not sterling. I have a 1936 Haynes that says sterling on every day part of the tube. My newer ones (1958-1980) don’t have anything like that on them. When I asked a Haynes rep at NFA once they told me that they stopped using sterling after the war and went to coin silver. Try just using silver when ordering not sterling silver

[@saintabanoubelnaheesy6433]

Hi can you please have the link for the music stand, tuner, mini bag, and metronome that you did in the Back to School: Music Gadgets

[@dantecosta2077]

Can you plz review the Haynes Amadeus AF900?

[@HippitusHoppitus]

can you do a video about things you wish someone had told you about being a musician or going into music school?

[@nightingalehollow]

I could really need help! I am playing a Burkart Professional. Maybe you could compare this one to the Pendants from Powell and Brannen and Haynes... loved that review ^^,

[@standxabovexthexcrow]

Ive had a Q2 for the past five years, its a great flute for the price!

[@saunganli7942]

Does the lip close to the edge of the flute instead go to the middle. I found a lot of fluid accumulate in the head joint in winter and this makes watery sound.

[@annabelled7197]

how do you fix leaky pads? my piccolo has a few and I want to fix it.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+MyLifeAsANugget Chicken I always take it to a professional because truth be told, I'm too scared to tweak the screws/spring tension myself!!

[@annabelled7197]

JustAnotherFlutist Ok! thankyou so much

[@vintagehaynesflute]

So the Q series Haynes flutes are machine made?

[@haileys8120]

Hey Joanna we just had pre MPA yesterday we played flight of the Piasa Gathering of the Ranks at Hebron and Basses on a Rampage on flight of the Piasa literally RIP Flutes on high F and sixteenth note runs Haha lol

[@NathalyMaza97]

can I try a professional flute or piccolo?

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Just ask the Flute Center of New York! Link to their contact info in the description box!

[@NathalyMaza97]

Ok thank you

[@paozechang8401]

are mendini flutes good

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Paoze Chang Never tried them, so I don't know!

[@arikiirikki9005]

Hey i know this is a little pricier than your other reviews but can you review an aurumite 9k/14k? I live in a 5 minute walk from powell and im only 14 saving all of my money for a aurumite headjoint for my signature. Thanks

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

From what ive been able to tell, Aurumite is just for looks, since its just plating the silver(or nickel i forget which) in the Aurumite. It is still probably pretty good just based off of brand but i dont think its worth it.

[@arikiirikki9005]

From my knowledge, Aurumite is 2 layers of gold and silver fused together. There's a lot more gold in the tube than if it were plated. I know that 14k aurumite is the gold is on the inside, and 9k is gold is on the outside. I Assume gold on the inside affects the sound more. But i could be wrong

[@kiaraeijo]

I tried either the Haynes Q1 or Q3 once but it didn't suit me. For you, I feel the Q2 is good 😊

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kiara Eijo It's probably the goooooooold 😆

[@martinkusy1067]

Hi can you review Di Zhao Wood Flute #131031

[@juancarlosnarvaez4942]

Do you get to choose which flutes you review? If so, could you review the Trevor James master series 2 Love your videos!

[@dalejezwinski7078]

😃😃😃 Hooray Haynes!!! Obviously biased, but I freakin' love my Haynes. Glad you got a chance to try them. Next up trying a thin walled instrument 😉

[@saunganli7942]

Does the lip close to the edge of the flute instead go to the middle. I found a lot of fluid accumulate in the head joint in winter and this makes watery sound.

[@benjisjs1535]

Can you please review on the Yamaha 617 (closed hole flute)? By the way, wonderful video...love it!!! Thank you XD

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

I love your videos just so awesome.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Diva Da Goddess Thank you so much!!

[@haileys8120]

Love you Joanna

[@misterhlam]

I disagree! I don't play flute, but after seeing a few videos of yours, it starts to harm me... in a good way!!: I want to learn, and I want to own a flute! Thanks for the great reviews and explanations with regards to flutes. Now, I begin to save money for a flute albeit a very student one.

[@magz4004]

Im not even a flutist....im a drummer but your pretty funny so....*plus one sub*

[@haileys8120]

Wow Joanna nice Flutes love the review videos

[@city4497]

OMG! Thank you so much! :3

[@haileys8120]

love the flutes Joanna and your right (Flutes are always sharp) I love how band directors gives you the stank face at our sharpness haha lol

[@KevinKingII]

Hello Justanotherflutist, I have been a Jazz Saxophonist and Flutist(not flautist - shout out to Trevor Wye) for a while now. As a flutist I have begun to try and learn classical repitore to become a more versatile musician but, I am a bit overwhelmed. Your videos have helped me so much in other areas of my playing and I would really appreciated if you could make a video on how to approach increasing the amount of classical repitore you know. Sincerely, Kevin King II p.s thanks for the review ;)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Kevin King Good idea! Putting that down in my notes. Thanks so much for watching my videos!!

[@m.s.4238]

I think there's a difference between silver-plated nickel and nickel silver. Nickel silver is an alloy (that doesn't have silver in it), at least according to this website: www.silverandbrassmusic.com/silver-plate-nickel-plate--gold-plate.html#:~:text=Silver%20plate%20is%20a%20finish,thin%20layer%20of%20pure%20silver.&text=Nickel%20plate%20is%20similar%2C%20but,silver%20or%20sterling%20silver%20horns.
