YES! FINALLY! i am SUPER glas that kesslers is right by me!! thank you so much.

I like Kesslers, but I have yet to have the same taste as what they like. They don't like Muramatsu flutes and I think they are wonderful. They also love the Powell Signature series piccolos and I despise them. They prefer the Boston cut on Powell headjoints and I prefer the Philharmonic. That makes me think now that I will probably not like the new Avanti if they like them. lol! I am still excited to try them out. Thanks for pointing out the review.

I bought my Powell from Kessler so I can testify they're a great company. The flute was set up perfectly.

However, I agree with Kara. They heavily promoted the Sonare piccolo and the old Sonare flutes, which I never liked. Also, keep in mind their goal is to sell you the instrument they're reviewing, so of course they're going to like all of them.

Hmm... how could they NOT like a Muramatsu? CRAZY TALK!! But can you buy regular Powells from them? I know that they have the signature. Im getting a new flute in the first week of march so I CANT WAIT!! Avanti has a website, http://avantiflutes.net/
