I prefer the Brannan flute sound ...but then I have a Miyazawa!!....but I can see where you are comng from.........a budget figure for this instrument/??? ...or are ALL japanese flute prices a mystery?
lol it's so awesome that you added twinkle twinkle little star against all those other hard pieces. Your sound is beautiful and would you ever play incantation and dance one day?
hi nina , what is your comment about Miyazawa 402 flute . . . . ? i use yamaha y211, but someone steal it from my car . . . so i should get a new one... n just want to heard a comment from a pro... can u help me...?
Congradulations on your new flute! I think it sounds beautiful. I think I like the Sankyo Wood flute better. The one you played in your video of 2008 convention.
For the type of music I play the rich dark tone of the wood flute fits better. I can imagine just holding a flute made of gold would be like holding heaven. My flute is a very old KING/Cleavland. I have played it for 30 yrs. It has gone all over the world with me.
I've watched this video a bunch of times, but the time between viewings is large, and every time I come back to watch it, I still love the sound you're getting.
Anyone interested in trying new flutes & head joints -- check out Tom Green's flutes. I've had one for years and I love it! (Sold my Haynes - which I loved too - to get it.) Not only are his skills excellent but he's a really great guy too! (I majored in flute, had a thriving teaching studio for years & free-lance. Being a professional musician was my sole career for many years.)
Hi there, Nina! I love the First piece and last piece of this video! I know it is CPE Bach's work... but I just can not remember the exact name. Could you tell me what it is?
P.s. Your videos always inspire me to go to the next step, and work my absolute hardest! I hope that one day I can be as skilled as a musician as you are!
Have been playing an older handmade Haynes flute for 50 years. Would like to know if you suggest a new headjoint to improve my sound?? If so, any you suggest? Love your sound, and how well it projects.
I have a new flute .... an open hole pearl solid silver head body foot and mechanism. with C# trill and D# roller ... I love it and you playing is amazing... and I know what you mean I want to practice everything and rebuild my technique
hi Nina please reply,i am buying a new flute flute i have tested the two one is open hole b foot in line g silver plate and the other is gold plated the same model with would be better please give me you opinion. jason
@murdie65 the gold plating will look nice but won't make a difference in sound but might cost more. It is up to you. The plating might wear off over time.
I was just wondering if this flute has the C# trill and/or D# roller mechanisms? I really wish my Powell Arumite came with BOTH though I'm perfectly happy with just the C#t trill.
I absolutely love the Etude @4:00. I've been working on it and I love the technicality and the melody of it all ^_^ LoL
I really enjoy all your posts, they're fun and interesting to watch! Thanks ^_^
I forgot to make a small request if I may be so bold?
Could you possibly make a recording of the full Etude @4:00 please? I've looked and never could find a recording that was "good enough." Thank you ^_^ LoL
how is the flute going since you have had it,i just brought a 14k gold Perl flute and i love it its a pro model with solid silver mechanism im only 16 but im an advanced student,is this stuido at you home? if so it has an amazing sound when you play in there.
Hi Nina, Ray here from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'm using Yamaha 381H after I have another Emperor flute for almost 6 years.
My question is, most when I watch some video when professional play, I don't see they play on YAMAHA flute, is that mean Yamaha flute are just for beginner or intermedia?
If I set budget for around less then 3,000 US$, what you think which flute will be recommended? Similar structure as Yamaha 381H I have, please?
Nina this is great. I think it sounds beautiful, and as mollyphloot07 said, I enjyed listening to the Reichert since I do them too! I'm a flute performance major, and I'm always afraid of summer because it's so easy to slack off and just relax for a little bit, but I'm working on an audition for symphony, and one of the excerpts is the Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mendelssohn). You know, it's not too bad, but I wanted to work on articulation and sound,
where could I even go to try various Sankyo models. I plan buying a new flute or at least just a new headjoint before my college auditions in the fall and I am very interested in Sankyo flutes. Does anyone know any shops in the NJ/PA area that has any Sankyo flutes/headjoints?
I plan on buy some new instrument because i plan on doing a concert in 2012 with a friend. I have a question do you have any reccemendations on diffrenet flute brands I should try and which ones i should avoid. Also i was wondering do you play alto or bass flute cause just a suggestion i wanted to hear you feeling about the harmony flutes
Beautiful! Just curious, why Sankyo? I am trialing a Burkart 10K with silver keys and mechanisms. Loving it...what do you think about the Lillian Burkart flute?

The flute really has a beautiful sound. Instantly, you can almost feel the sound running through you. It has a very...deep sound, for lack of better words.
Fantastic! Hey I just uploaded my very first youtube vid (only 10 seconds haha, but you may want to perfect my very short but sweet hot-lick)....please let me know how long it took you to perfect it, and thanx for your great vids, btw!
i have never heard anyone play as well as you do. how do you cope with playing in a wind ensemble or major orchestra. it must bore you to no end, being even the most difficult piece they could ever play wouldn't be a challenge to you at all. you would sight read it with total perfection. so where would you go from here? nothing at all would challenge you any more..AND how much does that flute cost?
@knightpg Sorry that this is 3 months after you commented, but I would like to say that what a flute is made of definitely affects the sound it makes. Gold tends to produce a thicker, warmer sound. Silver is more a light sound. But all flutes are different. :)
Very nice sounding flute! Im hoping that before I graduate from high school I can buy a really high quality (prefer.5-14crt gold) flute head joint. I cant afford a whole professional flute but my Yamaha is very high quality (completely solid silver) and i think if I just "upgrade" my head joint I should get the sound im looking for. I tried a gold headjoint in my current flute and it made my sounds a lot bigger and warmer! Does any1 know the pricing of professional solid gold headjoints? Thanks!
I saw ian anderson through his flute into the crowd. it was then when i realized that if i had a time traveling device i could go back to 1971 and catch that flute... of course there are many other implications on what I'd do if i had a time traveling device.
I absolutely adore Sankyo flutes. I can't afford them now and am no where near on a professional enough level to go out of my way spending so much money...but, one day I will get one. :)
hi Nina! Can you talk about how you get that amazing left hand/wrist position? Do you feel any pain in your index finger joint? I love how straight your wrist is! I am using the left hand finger crutch (from the maker of the thumbport) and it doesn't allow me to get my wrist quite as straight...perhaps I am using it incorrectly though. My flute is rose silver and I don't want to touch my skin to it while playing because the metal is flaking off! (rose silver was discontinued year ago)
Nina, you know that the Sankyo scale is THE WORST on the market right now, right??? The Middle register is still stuffy... Im telling you, forget Sankyo. They are holding your performance back.
Oh yay, someone famous and really amazing uses the Reichert [sp?] too. And I recognize what you're playing at 3:50, but I don't remember the name. I really enjoy what you're playing at 3:13 -- could you tell me the name of the song or exercise it was?
@ninaflute I have the book Kohler Progress in flute playing Op. 33 Book 2 and the first study in that is the one you did at @3:50! I loved that piece when I did it for my Grade 6! I think it's a great book and I enjoy many of the studies from it so I would recommend other flautists buying it! (:
wow that sound is beautiful the combination of gold and silver both working together makes playing on that flute a delacacy and very lucky to have or even try playing on it it is fantastic making anything you play smoothly moving through high and low notes your very lucky thx for the video
wow you are amazing your new flute sounds great (i am getting a new flute but it is not quite as good) your tone is sweet, yet deep sounding, i love it
I´m amazed how your new flute sounds, sometimes like Silk, but has a good attack in the deep tones, too. I always try this, but my deep tones are always too much "blown in" (means it takes a bit until the tone stabilized).
Great, I always love to listen and watch you playing the flute!
You may not have the right ebichure... (spelled terribly.) Try playing almost streight down and keep the mouth about the same as you would on regular notes. :)
I really work on this. When I play down from higher tones (e or g) I have no problems ton find the right ankle, but if I jump from more higher tones (a or c or more higher) or if I start with the deep b then I have problems. But you make me hope that I get it one day, thank you for this!
you are amazing!!! and your flute is beautiful. i just have a year and a half playing the flute. i have the 3SHBGemeinhardt flute. you are my role model now.
Hi Nina. I love your flute. I play my flute since 2008 and I really feel that I need somthing more. Do you think that I should get a new headjoint made of gold or another flute with open holes? And could you please gimme an advice cause I wanna know what piece should I try . I would like a more dynamic one. Thanks
What grade are you? For an intermediate but serious player I would recomend something like a yamaha 371- it has a solid silver head joint and open holes. If you aren't planning on doing multiphonics glissandos etc. then you could also get the 311- same as the 371 but with closed holes. I have it and I can tell you, it plays beautifully, it's really responsive in all the registers I play in (admittleddly 4th octave C is a littel difficult, but hat's just because it's a really hard note...).
I love my flute but I wish I'd bought an open holed now I have started to be be interested in the great train race etc. style pieces. Try both, and see what you like. Also, if you have more money to spend, then get a 411/471- like the 311/371 but also with a solid silver body and foot. In my opinion the head joint makes a massive difference, the body does a lot less, so I'm willing to compromise (price!) but if you have the cash, then by all means buy the solid silver model! Hope this helped.
Everyone is like that. I can barely play an Armstrong, but I can play a Powell, or Sankyo fine, even Gemeinhardt or Haynes sounds good on me. But Pearl is my First Choice.
Brannen and Yamaha don't sit to well on me at all!
I'm a big fan of Sankyo flutes as well. I've only been lucky enough to play on a sterling CF 601, handmade, soldered tone hole. It was magnificent!! You sound great on this flute! Very supple and lots of colors.
wow, my flute teacher has one thats similar if not the same, waahhh, i just wanna play one so bad. I'm playing on a YFL-674 and I'm pretty happy with it =]
great, I like trying flutes, I also like your 10 flutes video where you hardly hear a difference between the flutes!!! But the thing is: playing them is VERY different. So it makes it different, because you are inspired completely differently.
You are a great player, simpatico, beatiful too! Thanks.

I absolutely adore Sankyo flutes. I can't afford them now and am no where near on a professional enough level to go out of my way spending so much money...but, one day I will get one. :)

hi Nina! Can you talk about how you get that amazing left hand/wrist position? Do you feel any pain in your index finger joint? I love how straight your wrist is! I am using the left hand finger crutch (from the maker of the thumbport) and it doesn't allow me to get my wrist quite as straight...perhaps I am using it incorrectly though. My flute is rose silver and I don't want to touch my skin to it while playing because the metal is flaking off! (rose silver was discontinued year ago)

Nina, you know that the Sankyo scale is THE WORST on the market right now, right??? The Middle register is still stuffy... Im telling you, forget Sankyo. They are holding your performance back.

Her flute sounds fine. Maybe the flute you played was messed up or something.

What you play at 6:00 makes you sound like a bird .. what's the name of the excerpt?
mollyphloot07 2 years ago
Hi, the excerpt is "Peter and the Wolf", by Sergei Prokofiev . And it's really supposed to sound like a bird.

Oh yay, someone famous and really amazing uses the Reichert [sp?] too. And I recognize what you're playing at 3:50, but I don't remember the name. I really enjoy what you're playing at 3:13 -- could you tell me the name of the song or exercise it was?
mollyphloot07 2 years ago
3:13 is Berbiguier etude, 3:50 I think is the kohler etude and 6:00 is Peter and the Wolf

@ninaflute I have the book Kohler Progress in flute playing Op. 33 Book 2 and the first study in that is the one you did at @3:50! I loved that piece when I did it for my Grade 6! I think it's a great book and I enjoy many of the studies from it so I would recommend other flautists buying it! (:

I´m amazed how your new flute sounds, sometimes like Silk, but has a good attack in the deep tones, too. I always try this, but my deep tones are always too much "blown in" (means it takes a bit until the tone stabilized).
Great, I always love to listen and watch you playing the flute!

You may not have the right ebichure... (spelled terribly.) Try playing almost streight down and keep the mouth about the same as you would on regular notes. :)
snowytiger3 2 years ago
thanks,
I really work on this. When I play down from higher tones (e or g) I have no problems ton find the right ankle, but if I jump from more higher tones (a or c or more higher) or if I start with the deep b then I have problems. But you make me hope that I get it one day, thank you for this!

Hi Nina. I love your flute. I play my flute since 2008 and I really feel that I need somthing more. Do you think that I should get a new headjoint made of gold or another flute with open holes? And could you please gimme an advice cause I wanna know what piece should I try . I would like a more dynamic one. Thanks
vladyflute95 2 years ago
What grade are you? For an intermediate but serious player I would recomend something like a yamaha 371- it has a solid silver head joint and open holes. If you aren't planning on doing multiphonics glissandos etc. then you could also get the 311- same as the 371 but with closed holes. I have it and I can tell you, it plays beautifully, it's really responsive in all the registers I play in (admittleddly 4th octave C is a littel difficult, but hat's just because it's a really hard note...).
Muzikman127 2 years ago
I love my flute but I wish I'd bought an open holed now I have started to be be interested in the great train race etc. style pieces. Try both, and see what you like. Also, if you have more money to spend, then get a 411/471- like the 311/371 but also with a solid silver body and foot. In my opinion the head joint makes a massive difference, the body does a lot less, so I'm willing to compromise (price!) but if you have the cash, then by all means buy the solid silver model! Hope this helped.
Muzikman127 2 years ago

StupidUchihas 2 years ago
I guess Nina can play at any flute and will still sound good. ;)
Sankyo doesnt really work for me, I still prefer Powell Flute 19.5 k gold...2nd to the list is Brannen.
macmusikpro 2 years ago
Everyone is like that. I can barely play an Armstrong, but I can play a Powell, or Sankyo fine, even Gemeinhardt or Haynes sounds good on me. But Pearl is my First Choice.
Brannen and Yamaha don't sit to well on me at all!
AbrahamSmith102093 2 years ago
I'm a big fan of Sankyo flutes as well. I've only been lucky enough to play on a sterling CF 601, handmade, soldered tone hole. It was magnificent!! You sound great on this flute! Very supple and lots of colors.

great, I like trying flutes, I also like your 10 flutes video where you hardly hear a difference between the flutes!!! But the thing is: playing them is VERY different. So it makes it different, because you are inspired completely differently.
You are a great player, simpatico, beatiful too! Thanks.
