I plan to buy a flute amplifier but would like to get some recommendations. No, I won't be performing at all. Its just for my personal enjoyment. I'd therefore would like to keep the price below $300 if I can.

Wireless seems to be more common than wired these days. I've got a Fenders 25 amp that I could connect a "wired" flute amplifier to but If I bought a "wireless" unit could my Fenders pick up the wirless sound?

Here's some of the brands I've been reading about: Barcus Berry, Countryman Isomax 2, Samson Stage 5, Airline 77.

I'd appreciate any information.

thanks,

Not exactly what you ask, just a different idea. You could try to connect the flute mike into your sound chain. Normally there should be a microphone input and you save some 300$.

I have a pioneer 2x40 Watts midi, it has mike input and costed much less than 300$ (without ancillary units as tuner, CD, tape, turntable)

Not sure whether this a valid idea if you want to travel or move with you amplifid flute, however.

The silver bullet from K&K Sound is a good compromise between cost and performance:

The $150 with preamp will plug into virtually any sound system with a gazinta (goes in to)

The $100 version will require a mixer or preamp with phantom power (if you don't know what this is, you should probably buy the preamp version).
