I would have preferred all flutes in the same key, and all playing the same song for a better comparison, but I appreciate the video. Thanks.

[@lauria5040]

This was so helpful. I really found this useful in determining which flute I want to try next. Thank you

[@ahamoments132]

I also appreciate you taking the time to do this, thank you, but for a comparison that would be more useful for myself ta comparison between flutes in the same key playing the same song would have highlighted strengths and weaknesses and overall sound quality more clearly. :)

[@sherryb9770]

Despite them being different keys and woods, I got a good idea of the voicing of each maker. There were also some makers in there I was not familiar with. Thank you!

[@zhengchen9720]

Woodsounds flute sounds quite beautiful.

[@mindcave]

The Laughing Crow, Heartsong and Ancient Territories were the stand outs for me. Beautiful tones.

[@cyc7lops]

Thank you for doing this.

[@mildricer1006]

Brilliant idea nice work my guy

[@Jmmondeau]

Your videos are the best training videos. Thanks for your series.

[@BrentAdams]

Nice comparison. I only wish the flutes were "closer" to the same key. These cover a fairly wide range and makes it a little difficult to compare directly from one maker to the next. Thanks for doing this! I like to do the same type of thing and it helps me to see how others go their take on it.

[@KalaniMusic]

Most of them are close (F#, G, or A) a couple were above or below. In the future, we will try to have all A's or F#'s and also include all the wood information and other details. Seems like this type of video is needed.

@@KalaniMusic Not sure if it's appropriate to mention another maker (if not please delete this message), but I'd like to see Stellar Flutes included in the next video. I bought one of their 'Basic' flutes a couple months ago and found it plays better than another well known 'brand' but cost half the price. Was very pleased with their work and will be dealing with them more in the future.

[@user-sx9hj6fo1e]

Thank you

[@anonagain]

Thanks for the video Kalani! It was actually very reassuring in that I have one of these flutes (won't say which) and it always sounds excessively 'breathy' to me, but I heard the same when you played it. Glad it's not just me and poor technique on my part!

[@spiritualwarriorhealer6154]

I like breathe.. You hear it in all those movies when cowboys are about to get their butts kicked

[@frankkrakie2540]

Thank you very much Kelani for this flute comparison. Even though they were in different keys it does give you an idea of the tone of the different flute makers. I would say my three favorite were: Ancient Territories flute Heartsong flutes Laughing Crow flutes. I personally always preferred a clear less reedy/buzzy tone.

[@1888CHAD8881]

I ordered a Bass D 432hz from JDFLUTES.. i hope is sounds magical and spreads peace and love

[@cyc7lops]

Also, it would have been helpful to know what kind of wood was used to make each flute.

[@threeonionsplease1969]

congratulations for your videos! could you suggest me a good microphone to attach to the flute?

[@spiritualwarriorhealer6154]

My vote is for the Symphony F# and i like thw last flute b, maybe a bit too high pitch for me. That guy is in good shape to blow all those great.video..thx

[@Tuttodunfiato.N.A.F]

Dear artist, thanks to your videos I am now starting to play the Native American flute. Which shade do you recommend? Finally, where can I buy it at a good price? thank you so much Alessio Peluso Italy

[@slothflutes222]

Here at Slothflutes

[@chasmdance1]

Thank you Kalani. Would you please let me know if the Ancient Territories flute you played (starting at 5:49min) is tuned to 440 hz or 432 hz?

[@MrFernandoXXI]

Hello Kalani. I am looking for a flute and I am between the High Spirits Flutes and Ancient Territories Flute. I saw that they same many differences between then, the construction, sound and another things. Wich one do you like most?

[@usernamemykel]

What? No Butch Hall????????????????????????????????????????

[@Zfairy1]

Yes lol that is the one I was looking at too

[@bearlove90]

Woodsounds is way overpriced compared to the quality of sound from these more affordable brands. - The flutes are beautiful but that guy is crazy. The sound is horrible compared to a butch hall or high spirits.

[@bgdn5]

such a dull and boring melody and already tired of listening after the second call... Sorry
