Hello, everyone!
This is my first post. I'm a flutist and a music educator. I play on an Altus flute and just sold my Sonare' picc with the intention of buying something else. I loved the Sonare's tone and intonation, but the quality of the keywork was not fantastic. I found the action to be a little sluggish.
I play in a good community band that plays some pretty challenging literature. I think we're tackling Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis for our spring concert. The keys on the Sonare' just weren't moving fast enough for my needs.
Anyway, my budget for a new picc is limited, since I only play for fun now and can't justify buying a Hammig/Keefe/Burkart/etc. I've been scouring the web for a used Global/Resona with little success. My backup plan is a Pearl 105 ES. Do any of you play on a Pearl? Do you know the inner and outer dimensions on the tenon end of the body? I am trying to see if my Haynes grenadilla head will fit on the Pearl body. I'd appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks, and hello.
