I`m a high school sophomore, and I`m looking for an intermediate flute with open holes, and a silver head. Does anybody know a good brand to suggest? I think I`d like something that produces a rich,dark sound.

I cannot reccomend any peticular brand, but try ebay. Just be careful. My favorite bravd is Selmer, but that is me, a trombone player

I`m not sure where your located, but if your within driving distance of DC, try the Washington Music Center (http://www.wmcworld.com/). Its in Wheaton, MD, just outside of DC. I`ve been told they have really good prices.

As for brands, I can`t really recommend any. The open-holed I occasionally use is an Armstrong, and it has a good sound.

Hope this helps

Check ebay out! They got some REALLY nice ones...and they have many different ones to choose from!

Try a Germeinhardt. They`re very good brands, in my opinion. I have two flutes that are Germainhardts; I`ve never been disappointed. There are better brands, the prices may be a bit high. : ]
