What's in my Fluterscooter bag?

[@JoleneHarjuMadewell]

I just ordered this bag and had the same thought: "I've been eyeing it for 3 years, it's probably okay to just buy it now." Haha I can't wait for it to come in the mail!

[@FluterscooterMusic]

it's on its way :)

[@JoleneHarjuMadewell]

I'm so excited!! :)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Jolene Harju I'm not the only one! 😂

[@florencewheeler2654]

Jolene Harju Madewell haha that is so weird !

[@leilanis6846]

When you have no money you're "baroque" I'll go home

[@pandora2012]

Oml 😂

[@skinnyrotisseriechicken180]

Leilani Smith that was fantastic

[@1FancyFork]

"Justified!", indeed. 😂 Great work in now being the official Third Flute! 👍🏼👏🏼

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Rafael Aguilera Thanks so much! I need all the justification I can get 😂

[@destiny6027]

+JustAnotherFlutist you need to be first chair flute because you deserve it you are the best flute player or are you already first chair

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Hahaha, it's not about being first chair. There's a lot of responsibilities of being first chair that I simply don't prefer right now. :) I love being the 3rd flutist and piccoloist because I get to harmonize AND stick out like a sore thumb sometimes XD Best of both worlds!

[@kiaraeijo]

Congratulations on becoming 3rd flute/piccolo for Ensign Symphony! I don't have a Fluterscooter bag but I have the Altieri Flute and piccolo laptop bag and I love it 😃

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Thanks so much, Kiara!! :D The Altieri flute bags are also super awesome! I know a lot of people who have them!

[@spenspen3]

Kiara Eijo did you get the alto bag?

[@kiaraeijo]

Michael Vandigriff No I have the one that holds the flute and piccolo and there's a compartment for the laptop

[@spenspen3]

Kiara Eijo I've been interested in them but there aren't many pictures ir reviews on them :/ I just need to go to the store to see one

[@kiaraeijo]

Michael Vandigriff Check out Flute World.. They have various styles and if you want to get it in a different color you would probably have to get it at your local flute convention or if your local music store sells them :)

[@juliyanmartinez3785]

Omg Vandoren is so popular with clarinetist that's literally usually the only reeds we use

[@elizabethliu8731]

^ All reeds everywhere

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

+Gady LaGa I totally learned something new today 😂

[@Sadimal]

I had a teacher who was crazy about Vandoren. He would get on us if we showed up with a Rico reed.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

That's amazing 😂

[@elizabethliu8731]

Sadimal Lmao same! When I was applying to music school, I had to throw out all of my Rico Royal Reeds (i only work a part time job and cannot afford nice music things all the time) and buy Vandoren for my auditions. TBH I think either are fine and most reeds work for me. I don't mind either brand but I do think that the consistency is way better with Vandoren! (The main reason why we buy their reeds lol)

[@emmabloom1793]

In my bag I have, of course, my flute, some cleaning stuff, grease-stick for the foot joint, a note book, a million pens, pencils and markers, a tuner, some tissues, LIPBALM, hand cream, hairties, comb, nail file and a metronome.

[@saxophonistrule5746]

Your a really good flute player and piccolo.You should try the bass flute sometime!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Aw, thanks! I have tried a bass flute before, and I hope to be able to review one some day! :D

[@gearaddictclimber2524]

I love how happy u always are. I can tell you’re passionate about your career. And you just invite your subscribers into your life and your home, and you do a great job of pulling together your main topic/opinion. Great vids

[@lorik.6669]

You're a "hoot"! Love your enthusiasm and energy! I'm a clarinet/sax instructor. Never played a flute, but I enjoy the hardware! THANKS!

[@planningwithjohn]

A good set of ear plugs to look at are called Ear Peace. They also make ear plugs fit to your ears. Their regular ear plugs range in price from $15-50 depending on what specs you get. Their ear plugs molded for your ears are quite a bit more around 129 or more. www.earpeace.com I don't work for them. I am a flutist that uses their ear plugs for our loud pops concert and touring shows and they are great!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

That's pretty much exactly what I'm describing! I'll be sure to check them out, thanks for the heads up!

[@mrs.siegel]

You can also check out www.earasers.net. They make ear plugs in several sizes, and they are specifically designed to protect your ears while allowing you to still hear everything. I use them especially for when I play piccolo and I love them.

[@ginagamba]

In absence of designated papers (cigarette, etc), I use "end wraps" I got from a beauty supply store. I bought a whole bunch like 12 years ago and haven't used all of them. I've also used that tiny screwdriver when one of the roller keys on my footjoint had a loose screw. It was easy to fix, but I laid my cleaning cloth over the D# key to keep from scratching it.

[@pandainapeartree9663]

I literally just got the Cedar Wood Bag for Christmas, with late shipping so I got it on the 5th, and it has been my new favourite thing. My old flute bag that came with the flute had a broken zipper on both sides. I keep an assortment of random junk like rolling paper, a harmonica, a piccolo, my flute, and a kazoo because why not.

[@FluterscooterMusic]

glad you like your new bag!

[@martinpaolotayag6377]

Panda in a PearTree i like to sing, dance, pretend, aaaanddd KAAAAZZOOOOO

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Hahaha, that's awesome!!! :D

[@destiny6027]

that's awesome

[@TheMarionetteKitty]

I'm jealous your flute will fit into your case with the thumb ports on it.

[@anhhuydo7147]

Hey Joanna. Could you look at more Di Zhao flutes, like the 600 and 700? Seeing that the 200 was really good, I want to see how the intermediate models are like. Thanks Joanna!! I love your videos!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Added to the list! :D

[@Titanandenceladus]

FWIW there is a way to remove all condensation from the headjoint with a standard cotton or silk swab. Put the swab through the rod and wrap it around so it is thin, then take a corner of the swab and feed it into the headjoint, push the swab through in a corkscrew motion and it's al wiped away. Learned it through the Burkart Complete Flute Guide I got when I was in high school

[@mitchsona]

Titanandenceladus leaving some condensation within the top of the headjoint is okay, and keeping *some* helps to keep the cork in the top working well.

[@gdiroll]

Good video! Very helpful in terms of flute/piccolo gadgets. 👍🏻

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Yay! Glad it was helpful! :D

[@jazlynroy3778]

btw when pronouncing Vandoren it sounds like Van•door•rén

[@pandora2456]

So it’s normal for the pads to do that sticky noise? I just got a Yamaha Intermediate flute and I have noticed that my E flat key does that noise. I have cigarette paper and it does work.

[@zacharycoronado6749]

Have you ever seen the Nahok flute case covers? Super expensive, but super cute. Also have thermal and humidity protection too.

[@loafywolfy]

i use an old rainproof travel backpack to carry my clarinet case,music sheets and stuff to rehearsals :3

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I stuff the rest of the stuff I didn't talk about in my huge backpack, haha!

[@mitchsona]

For ear plugs I'd suggest buying Dubs, they're reusable and reliable.

[@fluffymadeupcat]

Ear plugs.. get ones with attenuators in them! They preserve sound quality and don't distort sound at all. They are a bit expensive though and custom made by audiology clinics.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

2 other people mentioned that Earasers is one of the brands that does something like this! Definitely gonna check it out. You guys are the best!!

[@kwatay3896]

You shou,d do a give away for your other bag. Like a flute comp

[@haileys8120]

nice fluterscooter bag and congrats on being piccolo player now and nice flute and piccolo too Yamaha right?

[@Aerin17b]

Thank you sooo much for making this video!!! I just got a new flute and this video is very helpful.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Awesome! Be sure to be careful about choosing which things to purchase. It can add up to be a pretty expensive collection, so make sure you'll actually use each item enough to justify (😉) the price!

[@Aerin17b]

+JustAnotherFlutist I think I'm going to get a silk cleaning cloth to start with. Maybe in the future a flute flag because that spit that collects in the head really irritates me. But yes, a little pricey. Also I have a question. Do you use anti tarnish strips in your flute case. If so, where do you put them?

[@legopachycephalosaurus6825]

Ok so I play in a symphony at school and what is always wondered was why does like nearly every other musician who’s in a professional orchestra have ear plugs? Another thing I’ve noticed is that both Wind and string and basically the whole orchestra have them but I’ve yet to see a Double bassist have them.

[@kagomiko3134]

You are bringing all of this stuff "just in case".

[@breadloaf456]

I have the same flute and stand as you!

[@tessaberrevoets9455]

But with those earplugs, do you keep them in the whole time you're playing or can you like put them in and out? I was just wondering because when I play piccolo I only put my earplugs in when I have to play really high notes 😊

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

These ones are hard to situate in your ear quickly, so I do actually leave them in for the whole rehearsal. It feels really weird when you take them out after 2.5-3 hrs! 😛

[@florencewheeler2654]

I love the name fluterscooter . I am starting flute very soon so I am excited to get a bag . NOSY NERDS OF COURSE. Well done for the 3rd piccolo thing - sorry I can't remember. I can't believe you like Hello Kitty . Secretly I love it too . You are so honest to say you are short . You are my favourite flute youtuber ever . You have good and helpful things in your flute bag . I love the gold colour of your flute. Didn't you customise it ? What type is your piccolo? You are so funny and you are the best flute youtuber ever. Great video ! The ear plugs are like slime ! Can you do a practise with me piccolo style ?

[@taylormichaud4312]

Aw, thank you!! And man, girls can play trumpet too... 😉

[@ttm894]

Lol i know, let's hope science-class dude figures that out :P You know, when a high woodwind makes a mean joke it is really PiccoLOW!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I'M DEAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@cathyyue5922]

Did you end up giving your other fluterscooter bag away?

[@flutistnotflautist4740]

Have you tried less expensive ear plugs like DUBs or Earasers? Not as good as ones that are custom made, of course, but a better alternative to foam ear plugs They reduce the decibels while not muffling the tone as much as foam.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

Ooo, thanks for the recommendations! Will definitely check those out 😊

[@fljunkie09]

Thanks for this video! Seeing the bag as something other than a picture on fluteworld.com helped me decide I did want this bag! :D

[@guitarplayer1994]

I have a gig bag for guitar which costed me 120€. I have one which costed me 30€. Which one broke after two months? That's why you buy 120$ stuff.

[@FluterscooterMusic]

Glad you guys like the Cedar Wood bag :) It's the best selling Fluterscooter bag! You can order on www.fluterscooter.com.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

YOU MAKE AWESOME BAGSSSSS 😍😍😍

[@nellisan3069]

Where can I buy this bag?

[@atcsound7594]

Hey so I noticed the Trevor Wye book on your stand, I have the first one on tone and the one on articulation. would you recommend the rest of his books or is there any other practice books you would reccommend? Thanks!

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I should probably make a video solely about Trevor Wye books, hm......... 😉

[@lau_esp]

Hey there, I was wondering if you recommend the Pearl 505rbe1rb, I am an intermediate player, who's broke as I am in highschool. Thanks :)

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I have yet to review one, but Pearls are known to be great flutes! :D

[@fernandoperez-lb1bs]

Laurence Espallardo I actually have the exact same flute! I think the sound on this flute is outstanding because I have tried other headjoints like Powell and I still like the pearl's headjoint for it's clarity. The tuning of the lower Notes ( starting Eb and lower) are really flat. I also think that the keys are kinda heavy (if you play With extremely light fingers) but if you work through it, you can still perform technical peices like the Ibert concerto 3rd movement. idk why but my flute is always getting out of adjustment every time it gets out of the shop and idk if its just me but just had to put it out there. It may of seemed that I hated this flute but if you are an intermediate, I think you would love this flute and I know that I loved working with this flute. hopefully you found this useful!

[@lau_esp]

Thanks for the info! I actually press kinda hard, so I can probably work with it. I have to consider that flatness and heavy keys though. Thanks again. :)

[@fernandoperez-lb1bs]

[@lorenzofolchetti3105]

Hey,Just a question i been having trouble getting a clear sound on my flute.I been having trouble with bad airy sound and the notes start to get choppy with the notes from Middle c and up.I keep readjusting my embouchure but i keep getting that airy sound and choppy notes ;-; please help me

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

Have you had it serviced recently?? Because when I got mine serviced, some of the keys didn't quite shut all the way and that can cause a breathy sound

[@lorenzofolchetti3105]

aOIFe scully Hahaha.......my Jupiter was stolen so as a substitution im using a amazon 45 dollar one until i can get another one.........;-;

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

Ohmygosh that's so upsetting, I hope you get a new one soon! And that should help with your sound definitely

[@coolflutist5467]

Joanna Flute problem here My Beefy Sounding Super strong low C is not responding on my flute as usual What's happening to it I hope you'd shed some light on the situation HEEEEEELP

[@emmabloom1793]

Cool Flutist I had that problem too! Check if all wires are connected to the right place. And then, if you want, let someone else like a friend try on your flute to play the c. If they also can't play it, you should probably let a professional check your flute. If not you can try to "re-learn" the c or try different things (flutter tongue etc).

[@0cherriesd506]

Are there any alternatives to the blotting paper?

[@juliyanmartinez3785]

0Cherries :D tracing paper works receipt paper even

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

I've even heard that paper bills work...

[@rosemarycrafting1202]

Iv'e always had woodwind friends who keep dollar bills in their cases just for that purpose

[@amandareade1261]

if you dont want to buy cigarette paper, at most music stores they sell yamaha key paper and its about 5 bucks for 70 sheets, which is like 3 bucks more expensive than cigarrette paper, but it does the same thing. and the sheets are big so you can rip them in half so the pack will actually get 140 uses

[@kelleysmith7878]

The paper that hair stylists use for doing perms works well and is MUCH cheaper than the music store stuff.

[@roberthaller3516]

Fantastic video / I worked in United States Merchant Marine serve at 18 years in the engine room and use every kind of ear plug ever possible we used to use headphone sets to that just kind of blocked out all the ear loud pitch noises from the engine but the best ones I found is those little orange and yellow spongy ones the little yellow ones at the best they're like shit like a little barrel and they're flat on each end in their round and you can just squeeze him into the ear let your fingers go and I will just fit to the Contour of the inside or in internal construction of your ear perfectly and you can just let me touch him on the outside to push you in snug what's the body start to come out they work great your videos fantastic I love it I love it I love it keep up the good work Robert Haller January 2019 love your videos they're fantastic I think I moved to San Francisco to you give me license a fantastic teacher fantastic

[@dalejezwinski7078]

Hey Joanna! If you're looking for a different kind of ear plug for piccolo playing, there is this brand called Earasers (www.earasers.net/) that are AMAZING! They make them in a bunch of different sized and they are not too expensive. They cancel out the top soundwaves, but you can still hear everything else clear (not flatted) and they're comfy and come in a cute little case, haha.

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

So you're the 2nd person to suggest Earasers, so they MUST be good. Will definitely check them out (maybe show them to me too? hehe)!

I know that this may be an unpopular opinion, but possibly, in the far future, can you please make a review on the Haynes flutes.

[@superninjaskittlez]

Love this video!! I just have a quick question, was there a point in your life where you were heavily debating what you should do as your career? What motivated you to become a professional musician? I'm having a lot of doubts within myself whether I should pursue music as a career. Thank youuu💖

[@JustAnotherFlutist]

There was... I've touched on it a bit in the videos I made last month, though not to the extent to which you're asking. There was definitely a long period where I was like, "So... what do I do now? Should I do this? Or that?" because the right doors weren't open yet. I'll make another video about it sometime later, but for now, just ride the waves as they come. I don't mean that as, "SAY YES TO EVERY OPPORTUNITY" because the reality is that not all opportunities are _good_ opportunities for _you_. Approach each wave cautiously and over time, you'll learn to discern which opportunities will work for you and which won't. :)

I started carrying my band stuff in a rolling carryon bag. I did have everything in a rolling computer bag but the zipper broke so I changed to a carry on bag. I carry my flute, piccolo, instrument stand, folder of music (sometimes two), tuner, cleaning swabs for both, pencils, and a bottle of water (yes, liquid is bad, but I get a bad dry mouth when I play so I need the water, sometimes I have breath mints and I'll suck one before rehearsal. I have the same three peg Hercules stand, bought it last year for Christmas and it's been a god-send. I'm overweight so my fat belly and fat thighs aren't very conducive to holding instruments on my lap, if I try they roll off. I also have the same Hello Kitty pencil (HK rocks!) I used to have a pencil topper that was a HK playing flute but the arm fell off and she lost her flute. I've never been able to find another one :( (I got it at a Sanrio shop that used to be at my local mall but they closed).

[@JustAnotherFlutist]
