so it’s like a thicc flute
ALTO!!!!! I WANT TO PLAY ALTO!
IT'S SUPER FUN!!!
I don’t even play the flute and I love watching your reviews. Also your like Paint diagrams of the air flow fascinate and crack me up. It makes me happy that you go the extra mile though and explain it like that.
Since you're on to some less common types of flutes - could you review a wooden flute one of these days? It'd be so interesting to see and hear one in comparison/contrast to the regular metal flute.
Hope she gets hooked up with some bass and contrabass flutes
Cathy Wallington when that happens, let’s pray she didn’t break the bank on that contrabass!
I was able to hear the acoustic difference between the straight head and the curved head joints. I love the sound of the curved head.
Yesssssssss finally an alto flute!
AND IT'S SO PRETTYYY
Haha what a coincidence releasing an “Amadeus” flute review the day of W.A. Mozart’s birthday
I have played the E-flat, alto, bass, and contrabass in a flute choir. But I’ve never owned them. I wish I could though! These flutes are Great!
I love alto flute SO MUCH!!! I want to hear you play the lower registers.
Hi Joanna! I hear you talk about tone color, but I’ve never quite understood the concept of it and how it works. Can you make a video about it?
Haha, sure, I'll note it down! ;)
My thoughts are perhaps think about it in terms of other instruments. When you learn about colors as a kid, you learn to make comparisons to things that are that color. So, you could learn that the deep, rich sound of a cello is gold, for example or whatever color of sound it makes you think of. Helen Keller once said she always imagined red as being like "a sharp blast from a trumpet". I think tone colors are very subjective to different people, so I go with what the sound makes me feel and what I can determine from the attributes of it I like.
This comment is unrelated to the video but I thought I would go ahead and comment it.
So, solo and ensemble is coming up in exactly 14 days from today. I have never been to solo and ensemble thing before. I am completely nervous for it especially since were going given the ensemble music around 2-3 weeks ago and that is not a comfortable time frame for me to learn a somewhat difficult piece of music. Yesterday marked the half way point of practice and our band director said if we couldn't play it all together and have it sound like the piece we were playing then we couldn't go compete with it. So with that said, on Tuesday we had practice with our ensemble instructor and it was a complete off day for me. I could not play as close to as perfect as everyone else was. To top that all off the instructor kept telling me how important my part was because I either have the melody or I have motor/metronome part and how I always have to try to play louder than everyone. The reason why he says for my to try to play louder than everyone is because I can play loud(but pretty) but only when I am practicing by myself and it is physically(??) impossible for me to play louder than six other people. I just don't have the lungs for that.
Yay, I waited for this so long💪💪
YAYYY
Intonation can be quite different from a curved headjoint to a straight one.
That’s why I chose a straight silver headjoint for my Powell Sonare alto. I also preferred the sound of solid silver, but opted for a plated body to lessen the weight and stress on my right wrist.
(They make an alto thumb port!)
I have an alto flute as well. I got it for Christmas two years ago. My teacher said there is a lot of music written for it but I cannot find any so I don't play it very often.
Awesome!! Here's a good list! :D www.nfaonline.org/Committees/Low-Flutes/Low-Flutes-Selected-Alto-Repertiore.asp
Yeahh love this video!!! It's so funny because today my family was taking to me about careers and I said I wanted to be a music teacher/professor and they were like "ehh that's a hobby sweetheart" and I told them all about you and now they are picturing my as a music teacher when I'm only in middle school!! :)
Oh my goodness, that warms my heart!! Remember to ride the waves of life as they come. ;) Say hello to your family for me!
That’s awesome! My family was a bit skeptical at first too but they saw how much both my sister and I love it and they became more supportive😃
Yussss! Please do more alto flute reviews, I’ve been wanting to buy one recently and I find it hard to find reviews on alto flute that aren’t ridiculously expensive. Also, I loved your BotW shirt.
Could you do a review of a simple system baroque flute? Thanks :)
It would be so cool if you did another whats in my case/ musician stuff haul like the good old daysss
Thank you thank you thank you Joanna now I'm considering Alto Flutes and you play them so well thank you thank you so much again. 💗💗💗💗💗
It's interestin that you are reviewing an Amadeus flute since its also Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birthday today! Great review I love you so much
How appropriate!!! Yay!!
Thanks for this video! This'll be helpful for not only a c flute (which I have now) but an Alto flute and piccolo.
I love the sound of alto flutes! So gorgeous, I love listening to Jeannine Goeckeritz playing her alto flute. When an alto flute is played well, I almost prefer it to the concert flute, because I don't like the sound of the low notes on the concert flute very much.
And as someone else already mentioned, I'd really love to hear how a wooden concert flute sounds.
Can you do more of these alto flute reviews in the future? It would also be really cool if you did reviews on bass flutes!
This was such a great review, thank you so much Joanna! Also, you look so great with your hair down (as you always do 😜)!
Aw, thank you!! And glad you enjoyed the review! :D
Oh my god yes I am finally the first person and I'm so excited to here the alto flute
Hope you enjoy it!!
Thank you again for this very useful and interesting review!
Thinks for demonstrating the Amadeus Alto flute great demo nice flute any chance of doing a demo of the Nagahara standard/ full concert / Galway models
This makes me want an alto flute even more. Guess I am saving up more money... Lol
Look at you!!! ((So pretty)) Yada yada yada, disclosure, disclosure, disclosure.... And here we go!!! So in comparison, if you think about it, the bigger/lower the instrument, you're able to do things looser (widen the mouth or drop the jaw) If you think about switching to a piccolo from a flute, you tighten/close the jaw more. So your drawing makes complete sense to me. Being a multi single reed player, I feel that too, between the Bb Clarinet and the Bb Tenor Sax. I actually heard the difference between the acoustics between the straight v curved head joints. Thank you for the review... I don't think I'd ever be interested doing a larger flute. However, as a professional flutist, it's awesome how you stay true to your instrument. I'm a multi instrumentalist, so I don't have that connection to just one instrument that I admire out of Sir Galway, Ms. Perlove, and yourself. I noticed that most people that are poly instrumentalist, do not have as much control and as much in their repertoire as a mono category instrumentalist. Noticed I said most. There are a few great poly instrumentalist. The 8 bit brigadier comes to mind. I am so impressed with his control on each of his instruments!
If you don't play the planets or rite of spring on that thing, I will unsubscribe!
No, but seriously. I won't unsubscribe. You're an amazing TH-cam channel, and I don't eve play the flute (I do play it as a hobby instrument though). I play the french horn and the bassoon.
“It’s just really THICC”
Excellent review!
Actually the difference between a straight and a curved head joint is quite pronounced. Mostly, because the main body of the flute + curved head joint is closer to the microphone, thus it is slightly louder. Assuming of course you were playing with the same dynamics.
I loooooove your reviews. Actually I love all of your videos.
D'awww, thank you!!!
When you say the "mechanism is more or less almost the same", is it actually the case that the 570 and 670 bodies are EXACTLY the same and ONLY the Headjoint (silver-plated vs. silver) is different? Also can you do a demo starting from the bottom of the range. You play scales and alternating notes from the C upwards which really compares the same range as a regular C flute but the chief point of comparison would be the effect of the different headjoints of 570 and 670 on the LOW register. Can you please play some more in the low register and a characterful piece composed for alto flute please? I would love to hear more rather than the embouchure/mouth/airflow conversation which takes half the video ... just being honest. Besides that surely will be personal from individual to individual. Thanks.
Thanks Joanna! I really enjoy your vids!
And now for a question....
Do all alto flutes have plateau keys? The ones I see online always seem to. And when I looked at the available alto flutes from FCNY, the thumbnails all seem to show plateau keys.
As I think about it, it would make sense that alto flutes would be closed hole as it's a relatively uncommon flute, my guess is that it is most often a doubling instrument and would make the transition from C flute much easier. That's my guess anyway!... What are your thoughts on it?
Thank you again!,
New sub.
Actually, I heard where the sounds between straight head and curved head joints. Interesting.
I've never had to deal with playing a transposing instrument so not too familiar - would you play the written music using C-flute fingering for what the notes look like on paper (but the sound is actually lower), or is the music written like the actual lower sound and the player has to figure out different fingering?
chinechinecherie You would read the music in a different key. So you play the fingering that is written but it sounds lower
I see! So with a transposing instrument, would you pretty much always need to have music that's specifically transposed for that key when playing with other instruments?
You should do a comparison of 14k rose and white gold Flutes.😀😀😀
It will be nice to have a intermediate flute review! I feel like this is kinda a blank area for your reviews!
Nice , thanks !
OMG... The cross-section diagrams help a lot when talking about air streams. Thanks!
WHOOO ALTO FLUTES
THEY'RE SO PRETTY
I been waiting!!!!!!! Yessssssss!!!!
Honestly, just a few notes lower??? Why?
FINALLY!!!
Hello Joanna !!! Yo uso Haynes Amadeus Alto flute " Me resultó excelente instrumento , ya sea calidad y precio .Excelente construcción y afinación . Que te parece a tí ??? gracias , saludos cordiales desde Argentina .
I LOVE it!!! The 570 fits my mouth more, but the 670 has a GORGEOUS dark tone!! :D So glad to hear that you enjoy the 670!!
Yo todavía no tengo una flauta Alto pero eventualmente la conseguiré. Por ahora, estoy buscando un piccolo nuevo.😊
Hello Kiara !!! como estás ??
Thanks Joanna !!!! Love it !!
Art Busker Muy bien gracias.. Y tu?
Hi Joanna, I have a question. I was wondering what the fingers are for the notes above C7 on flute are? I know C sharp but that's it and was wondering if you could help?
I have a fingering chart that lists the high d as thumb, third finger of left hand, first two fingers of right hand, and the two pinky keys you would use for a low c.
Renée Stockton Thanks!!!!! I will try them out tomorrow!!!
Hey Joanna! I was looking for some advice on finding and getting started on flute. I play alto sax and clarinet in my school jazz band and just saxophone in symphonic band. I mainly want to pick up flute as a double for jazz band. Thanks!
Wellllll... since you're here, FCNY is a good start! ;) I've reviewed some beginner model flutes that you may want to start on. Some good ones to look into would be Gemeinhardt, Di Zhao, and Yamaha (among many others!). If possible, I would try renting one and seeing how you like it. Once you get the hang of how to play the flute, you can maybe try ordering in a trial of a few beginner models from FCNY and seeing which flute suits you the best. You'll know once you play them--the flute really does choose you. ;) All the best!
JustAnotherFlutist Thanks so much!
Unknown629 Permand303 Used Azumi 2. They're also on Ebay for less than $1,000.
Yo tengo Alto flute 670 Haynes Amadeus !
Can you review bass flutes please?
I haven’t tried too many Alto flutes but I heard that Jupiter, Trevor James, Amadeus, and even Di Zhao are all good Alto flutes. Honestly, I’ve tried more piccolos than Alto flutes😃❤️🎼
Same, hahaha! I felt so spoiled to be able to play around with these!
Could you please do a c flute review? Love your videos!
Kayla Winget she has made tons of those, just check out her channel :-)

Sorry for being late... and skipping the last video :/ What do musicians use to call you? a YOU-PHONEium
Yay, you're back!! A+ pun!!!
Tootie toot toot
Why does it transpose to G and not F?
It's happened! The prophecy has been fulfilled!
Alto fluuuuuuuuutes!!
JustAnotherFlutist Never clicked on a review video so fast.
Hahahaha, oh man, that makes me so happy!!
I am so glad to see alto flutes
Is it for beginner's or any?
Yeet another video!
Whee!
u r gorgeous..
I’ve been trying to convince my band director to let me play alto flute but he keeps refusing bc he doesn’t want to transpose the music and keeps saying that I won’t be heard. I really want to play this instrument....any advice on how to convince him?
Can you make a vid of you playing a really difficult song?
I would actually like to hear more of the flute tone then see the air flow diagrams. I am shopping for a flute not flute lessons.
