….. is incredible! I really love my flute. Yesterday I was trying out another flute, it was great, lovely key work and very responsive. I thought, wow. Then I picked up my own – there was just no comparison. How lucky am I? But we should all feel that – your flute is the best in the world.
I feel really lucky to have such a wonderful instrument. If you are interested it’s one of the earliest handmade Altus flutes, all silver with a seamed tube. I’ve had it for ovr 20 years and it has virtually had no problems apart from the one Ian McLauchlan fixed last week.

I was told by my music teacher at school that I should consider getting a new flute but I said no, mine is good enough, it’s only ever been repaired once and works perfectly well. My flute teacher said that if I’m happy with it then that’s fine. The flute is such a clever instrument, just look at how it has been put together with little keys, and peices here and there and compare it with say the violin which doesn’t really have that. The flute really is a great instrument!

I love my flute, even though i have 2. My old one is a pearl and even though i don’t play it that often, i love the sound it makes. My newer one is a Miyazawa and the sound is lot better than my Pearl but i love how it feels like a part of me when i play it. Though the flute has many keys, it’s not as confusing as the bassoon! There are so many keys – i’ve got used to it and now it’s 2nd nature to use the right speaker key and fingerings, but to a complete stranger it looks complicated! I reckon string players get it easy to a certain extent!
