Hi everyone,
I have been playing flute for around 7 months now. I borrowed my best friends Gemeinhardt 3b flute. I have been teaching myself and talking to people at church that play (to get tips). I am ready to buy a flute of my own, but I am getting conflicting information about what brand to buy. From a flute teacher I heard Gemeihardt was not a good choice. But from the ladies at church I heard Gemeinhardts were right under Yamaha`s in quality. Can you please help me pick a brand. Thanks in advance!!
