Nina Perlove: Used Flute with GOLD PADS!

[maestrowinds]

is this flute considered to be a professional or intermediate model?

[MissyHPhoenix]

@maestrowinds  It is a professional model.

[maestrowinds]

is this flute considered professional level?

[KatyBananaPeel]

Holy crap. I wish I could play like you.

[oscarbird2]

look like schmidt pads

[twilightflutefreak]

Miles is awesome!!!!! Im gettin a new flute from him which brand do u suggest? I'm a almost highschool student but I'm very serious about my playing and plan to do great things with it?? I also want open hole and a b foot joint a t the least!

[MissyHPhoenix]

I just bought this flute from Miles Davis -- it is awesome! If anybody is looking for a flute or needs work on their flute, I can't recomend Miles Davis more; he does fantastic work! I love the gold pads, too.

[ninaflute]

Missy: congratulations and enjoy the flute!

[MissyHPhoenix]

Thank you, Nina! I am enjoying it very much -- such a joy to play! Thank you for making the video, which is what made me try the flute out. You are an inspiration, and I hope one day to be able to play as well as you do.

@MissyHPhoenix I have not heard of gold pads, my Haynes has Straubinger pads which cost me $150 more than regular pads after my flute was completely overhauled by the Kerr Co. How much are they with installation, approximately?

[MissyHPhoenix]

@mikenelli57 I actually don't know how much they cost -- he had already added them to the flute when I bought it. Ask Miles Davis at Miles Ahead Music. Missy

[creamyface]

ahh gold pads.

apparently very durable, and don't ever get sticky.. and supposed to give you a more "dark" sound.

Tadeu Coelho from NCArts has them i think.

or was it kathy jones... might have been jeff khaner..

always wanted to get them on my flute.

been awhile since I've seen anyone with them.

[justayyy]

It sounds beautiful, but with gold pads, it seems like it would be a bitch to be repaired if, knock on wood, something were to go wrong with them.

[ImDarkie]

oh god tell me about it getting normal flute pads replaced are enough money...gold pads would kill me D:l

[Pokemongo1]

hi there!

im hoping to play the flute soonish, just starting to research more about it, and it looks fantastic to play!

obviously you are an extremely 'high-up' professional!

however, ive noticed some things with professionals. they seem to create 'horrid' sounds.. like for example, 0:33 in this video.

was that a mistake or was it meant to be that sound?

i say this with all respect however!

and also, are there different types of flutes? and what benefites does each type have?

thankyou!!

[Rodier1128]

how was that a horrible sound? Its just the audio quality problem... if we were there that would sound amazing.

[vitamincory]

miles is dead!

[ninaflute]

vitamincory: well obviously it is not the same Miles Davis. This Miles Davis owns a music shop in Louisville, KY and is alive and well.

[dinadanna]

Make it known to the readers that its not the deceased jazz trumpet player Miles Davis you're talking about. For a minute I thought you were nuts. but Its good you kinda came in and cleaned it up a bit.

[ninaflute]

dinadanna: I never asked Miles (from Louisville) how he got his name but I always just assumed that his last name was Davis and his parents must have been jazz fans and decided to name him Miles! You should ask him.

[brambau]

great playing please tell me what type of pattern you are playing round 00:24 seconds into the video thanks

[animestar437]

wow, what a clear and beautiful sound. :-)

[leopoldofm]

is that an alto flute?

[itsthomaas]

No.

[Larker999]

haha..no. longer cause its a b foot, but thats it.

[leopoldofm]

on other video i saw nina with something called foster extension, maybe is that

[dasteufelhund]

Tried both straubinger pad and js gold pads, to be honest, I think it is not far from a gimmick, but then again, my flute has always been in care by an expert based out of Boston.

[braiz]

hey nina that pads are J. S gold pads manufacturer??

[ninaflute]

braiz: you'll have to ask Miles for the details, I'm not sure...

[Zombiemuffins13]

um what are gold pads? Are they metal pads made out of gold?

[halfnote07]

do the gold pads make the flute heavier?

[Rodier1128]

not noticeably.

[dasteufelhund]

it's just a regular pad with gold powder last time I checked, infused...to the surface of the pad.

[DavidArchuletaLove28]

wow. beautiful. wish i could buy it :D

[jonhpf07]

Awesome. Love the energy
