Question: What Flute brand is this!?
I've been playing flute since grade 6 and i had a Germeinheidt (i'm not sure how to spell it) and I played until grade 8!. In grade nine I had to return my rental flute i had for the past 2 years because I wasn't taking band!. So then I got a flute as a Christmas present a few months ago!. The brand is Academy!. I was just wondering if this is a good brand or not!.!.!. Thanks to all the answers!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Academy is trash!. This brand does not even EXIST - there are factories in the Far East that wili put ANY name on their terrible flutes!. Soft metal, poor pads - these break in weeks, and cannot be repaired!. Decent stores will not carry them - and you NEVER see them as rentals - because they are more trouble than they are worth!. Te person who gave you a flute was generous, but would have been smarter to give you $$ towards getting a DECENT flute - Yamaha, Pearl, Jupiter, Emerson!. The Gemeinhardt you had was not prize, either - the OLD Gemmies were good, and then the factory got sold again and again!. Gemmies are NOT a brand that we pros and teacher not recommend - expect for a VERY narrow span of serial numbers form long ago - which you are NOT going to find, trust me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
