I'm on a Yamaha 674 with the K 9 carat headjoint. I'm a fan of Muramatsu, but something about the keys on a Yamaha makes them more comfortable for me than any other brand. And replacing the EC headjoint with the K was a great choice for me too.

I have a Yamaha 584-H with EC headjoint. I do like it, and I like how my sound projects with the EC...but my dream flute would be a Burkart.

I have a Yamaha-461, that I got about two months ago. If I had the money though...I probably would have bought a Powell, talk about beautiful.

I own a Miyazawa 602 with Nagahara head. I would rather be able to play cello and own one of them instead of getting a dream flute. My current flute serves its purpose and I hardly play it anymore, so a dream flute would sit in the closet and be no use to me. So no, sadly, I can't say I have a dream flute in mind anymore.

I have a Bundy-Selmer professional flute and a Marchen 1942 14K (16K today) flute. I would want a Nagahara 20K flute.

I am not sure if you are being serious or not, but if you are, Bundy never made a professional flute.

How is it that a 14K flute turned into a 16K flute over the years?

Maybe the person is using "K" to indicate thousands of dollars rather than karats of gold?

Haven't you heard of the Midas touch?

I recently got my Powell Aurumite. I think this is my dream flute for quite a while. I would totally dig having a wooden headjoint too though. Or, if I just had tons of excess money (not likely) I would get an all wood flute. I played one once and think it would be glorious for baroque music...given, trying that flute gave me the flu! Oh well...wooden head is my next investment I think.

I currently play a handmade Burkart with an M2 headjoint. It's the best flute I've ever played, and I can make it sound like anything I want.

However, I am also getting more interested in Baroque music and historical performance, and I'd like to get my own traverso soon. I'm currently learning on my university's baroque flute, and it's not great.

You know what I need? I need a job!
