Pro's Top Advice for Your At-Home Flute Trial

[@MirandaNike]

I'd love your thoughts on the Yamaha 385 flute.

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I have a 30 year old Yamaha that’s equivalent to a 600 model these days and it’s still incredible. A very worthy investment.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Wonderful and great to hear that it is still going strong!

[@1015SaturdayNight]

@@LanceSuzuki I just had it adjusted a few months ago at the Abell workshop and the tech said it’s a great flute. That made me quite happy!

[@eastmarvista3267]

Glad you're with Flute World. I love Flute World, and am a fan. I too had an in-home trial for my intermediate flute and alto flute, and decided to purchase two flutes. Like their trial options.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@Invisible_Hermit]

This is great Lance, thanks for sharing. I'm a 59 year old beginning flutist, and these are the sorts of resources that can make my life much easier. I'm currently learning the basics on my Glory flute (after your wonderful review!) and hope to move up to a nicer Yamaha model in the near future. Thank you for being there and all that you do!

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks, Michael! Happy practicing and definitely treat yourself to a good instrument. It makes everything easier.

Like your video hope get my new flute soon Mystery Box 📦 make me happy

[@jacobhartzell7891]

Cool video. Im glad to see flute world enter into the online marketing space. One word of caution. You can see your full address when you hold up the return label.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks, Jacob! Good catch with the return label. As I was editing I thought it wasn’t quite focused on the label. However, the return address was actually Flute World San Francisco, so no harm. I will be cautious in the future. Thanks!

This is different, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on each flute. I'm thinking of getting a new alto flute but it wont be this year.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great! Are there any altos you are considering?

[@dcallan812]

@@LanceSuzuki I have only bought Pearl flutes so feel I know them well enough so I was thinking of the Pearl PFA-201ESU Alto BUT I also like the sound of the Trevor James 33233CD Copper Alto I will try to get both to play side by side on a trail.

[@edigabrieli7864]

I Lance I'm in the market for a new flute can you tell me what is required of me from Flute world in order for me to get a few flutes at home Thanks.

[@roadboat9216]

I bought my Pearl Elegante 795 from Fluteworld. May move up some day. It was a good experience with their process. Do you have a recommendation for flute insurance?

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great! Yes, I use Clarion for insurance.

[@roadboat9216]

@@LanceSuzuki Ok, thanks. Just put an application in with them. Used you as the person of referral.

[@michaellee2731]

Have you ever tried flutes from the flute center of New York?

[@LanceSuzuki]

Yes, definitely!

[@michaellee2731]

Have you ever tried a bass flute?

[@LanceSuzuki]

Yes. A few of my friends own bass flutes and have let me play them. Have you played a bass?
