Q: What do musicians eat for breakfast?A: Flute-loops :P
YES, YES THEY DO
Hahahaha. I love the last part of your video about the bug. I was laughing so hard!!!
LOL there is actually a channel called 2 flute loops 😁
Oh hahahaha
We have a type of little taco here in Mexico called flauta which means flute, it is a corn tortilla rolled with a filling of beef, chicken or cheese.
I have a pearl 525 but was unhappy with the sound it made, it was always extremely sharp in tuning also. Now I’m very happy with my Miyazawa :) pearl is a great brand, I guess it’s not for everyone
G as she always says " The flute chooses the flutist".
It really does 😊
The third octave is out of control lol. My G will always be +23 sharp; I've all but given up.
Im really sorry but the 525 is probably pearls worst model, even sellers think its bad, in comparison to all other pearl flutes it sell for the least BY FAR. Miyazawas are like beautiful unicorns whist pearl 525s are like blobfish
I just bought a Pearl Elegante flute today! I love it! Great video, as always 😊.
CONGRATULATIONS! Enjoy it, it's a beauty!
I have an earlier model of the Pearl 795, and it has a 10 karat gold lip plate on it instead of the 3 karat. I’ve had it for over a year now, and I love it. It took me a long time to get used to it, but now that I am used to it, I couldn’t imagine playing on anything else. It plays really easily, and I love the balance I get between the gold and solid silver. I feel that the gold gives you just enough to play around with soft tones. I love the Forza head joint. I feel that the cut of it also helps direct more air into the flute and it helps with embouchure flexibility. I’m an undergrad music ed student, and I can honestly say that this flute is one of the best options if you’re looking for something affordable that plays well, has the accommodations of C# trill, split E, and D# roller, and will last you a long time. It is certainly a good instrument to have before dishing out a lot money for a more professional flute. Pearl also offers great repair services. Thank you for the review. It helped solidify my choice of this instrument when I bought it last year.
And people say that Slytherins are evil! You’re so sweet! My elementary school made quidditch a gym unit using soft gator skin balls and hula hoops as goals propped on the basketball hoops. We even had a golden snitch!
THAT'S AMAZING!! I was in denial that I was Slytherin for a long time. The first time I took a super in-depth personality test to get sorted (this was before Pottermore), I was sorted into Slytherin, but I wanted to be Ravenclaw so badly that I went back to change all my answers so I would be Ravenclaw. It took me a whole year to realize that that was a really Slytherin thing to do... 😂
JustAnotherFlutist Well here’s some love from Hufflepuff! 💛
I finally have a job & am planning to get one of these flutes. They seem kind of just perfect. But of course I will try them out and see. So in about a month or two im finally going to have an actual step up flute! 😄😄🤠
flutes are expensive but i'll save money just to learn it. it's one the instruments that doesn't hurt my ears when someone practices using it. 😊😊 i fell in love with the soothing sound 😍
Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you feel that way about the flute! I still get really giddy over flute solos when I hear them in anything!
+JustAnotherFlutist my uncle just gave me a muramatsu flute that he bought from a thrift shop. now, i'm so excited to learn from your tutorials~!!
I have just bought a Pearl Dolce 695 RE secondhand, and I am really excited for it. I have been borrowing a lower model Pearl for a while and I love it, the tone is super nice, so I'm sure I'll love this one!
I have the 765 40th anniversary edition, same features as the 795. Props to you for the pianissimo. The Forza headjoint gives an awesome big sound, but it's so hard to dial down. I agree, all the extras as standard totally makes sense. I don't see myself upgrading any time soon, if ever.
I have the Elegante, but I bought it back when the C# trill, gold lip and D# roller weren't standard. So my flute is a 795 Elegante CODA (the coda package added the trill, roller and a Forza headjoint with 10K lipplate, not a 3K). Unbelievable projection, and the low notes pop right out (the Firebird excerpt is no problem)! And then I upgraded to a Powell 14K Aurumite headjoint. My projection took a serious hit, but the articulation is a lot easier. Clear double tonguing in all dynamics was a struggle with the Forza. I also found it hard to control the Forza's intonation in the high register for any dynamic below mf, without pushing the "ball of air" waaaay back. High G and G# are a disaster.
I love my Elegante Coda. I'm all about Pearl flutes: I have a piccolo, alto, bass, and two concert flutes from them. The Elegante is my "good" flute, and an old 665 is the knockabout flute that I take to bar jams and open mics, where it has been knocked over, had drinks spilled on it, etc...
this is why i love joanna. so in depth. i’ve been here since 10,000 subscribers!!
Omg, thanks for sticking around for so long!!
Ooof I'm sooo late!! Where do musicians go to swim? The "C"
GOOD ONE!!!
Flute envy for all of them😍😍
Me too!!
A shout out for Joanna on another great review and a huge shout out for the Flute Center of New York. They have been fantastic in allowing me to try many different flutes within my budgeted price range in the process of trying to finding one that I really like. They have quickly responded to any questions I've had and no high pressure sales pitch. It has been a pleasure dealing with them.
Seriously, it's been a dream come true to work with them!!! Totally agree with you!!
This might be a hard question to ask but could you possibly do videos on people who double on the flute like myself (primary is tuba). I mainly play flute for masses. I am pretty heavy handed so this video helped and the price point was great for what I do as well. Thanks!
That's a good topic, and to be honest, I'm still gathering my own observations and experiences about it before I talk about it. That's kind of why, in the meantime, I drop little tidbits that make a nod to your experience in my reviews 😊 I'm glad that you picked up on it!!
I'm curious, I always thought that flute and brass didn't mix. I thought about doing trumpet once and the music shop guy said the embouchure was completely the opposite, based on strength, whereas the flute was more about control. I didn't do it because I thought trumpet would ruin my flute. Do you find the two work against each other?
I hear that "airiness" when you play. Just like you heard it when I demoed both those flutes to you.
Haha, I did my best--probably would have sounded much better if I had an entire month to rework my embouchure and mouth formation for it 😉
The flutes look amazing
And they are!
ayyy I got the 795 and it's EVERYTHING I could ever need
It's a gorgeous thing! 😍
Yayy I've been looking for a pearl flute so thank you and keep slaying
Aw, thanks!!
JustAnotherFlutist your so welcome
Just ordered the 795 ELEGANTE, i am a very beginner and play sax......I am hoping for some success.
Hey Joanna, could you do a video about the different materials flute bodies/headjoints can be made of-like gold, silver, or wood- and do a sound comparison between them? I love trying to guess the difference and would love to know the pros and cons of them all!
Oh, nice idea! Will need to discuss with FCNY 😊
I've been looking into getting a new flute since I've had my Gemeinhardt 52SP since 2008, and can honestly say that it seems like the Pearl Elegante is going to be my choice between the sound quality and the price point after looking into several other brands. Also, Slytherin for the win!
I have yet to try a Pearl. Definitely want to try one before I get my dream flute.
And they're quite lovely! I can see why a lot of people rave about them 😊
Wow those cases are beautiful!😍❤️😃🎶🎹
AREN'T THEY? 😍
JustAnotherFlutist I know someone with the 795 and she loves it. I’m very surprised with the sound both flutes get😊
I love your reviews! Could you do a review on composite piccolos such as the Pearl 105, the Storm, and composite Di Zhao piccolo?
Another review! Beautiful flutes! I just ordered my Di Zhao 600.
Awesome!! Enjoy it, those are beautiful flutes! 😊
I recently got that flute! It’s so amazing to play on!
Ohhh I have a pearl!!!!!
And isn't it gorgeous??
When she screamed that high note I was wearing headphones rip
Your face when you said "I hope I said that right" was so funny 😂 And yes you did. The basics at least. Your accent is just veeeeeeryyyyy strongly American, it almost hurts my heart hearing beautiful Italian words being massacred. Dolce, Forza, elegante, vigore, piano and all the other Italian music terms. Don't worry, I still love you, though! ^_^ I can't blame you, you don't know better + it's not easy to learn a whole new accent/language. Still, I'd give a lot to drill the Italian accent into you ;-)
These flutes are beautiful as always! It took my a while to get to watch the video today but that's because we went on a trip to our house today. We were out all day.
LOLLLL!!! Gotta practice my Italian accent! If you haven't seen it already, go check out my Composer or Pasta video. Your ears and brain will probably bleed, but you might cry laughing too 😂
JustAnotherFlutist oh Joanna 😂 I only ever managed to get halfway with that video, it's incredible how many words you guys butchered completely but then you got others with the same rules relatively correct. Still I wanna call you right now and teach you the rules of Italian pronunciation. That was my personal hell right there & I wanna fix it so bad 😂 the video itself is quite amusing, but not as funny as that French meringue video. That one had me rolling in tears 🤣🤣
Yeah Joanna !!! Thanks !
Thank YOU for watching! 😊
Great to see these videos ! ☺
Thank you for watching! 😊
You can help me? Yesterday I bought my first flute, not a new one, and when I tried to assemble it, the foot did not fit, it was loose and it fell without much effort ... what can I do?
Oh no! You'll need to get it refitted by a repairperson. Any music shops in your area?
Temporary fix: wrap plumber's tape (white Teflon) around the tenon. There's no glue and no residue so you won't damage anything. But see a real repair tech soon.
Hey Joanna can you do a review on the Armstrong 104 Model Beginner Flute. This is the school owned flute that I am using right now in 11th grade, and usually beginner flutists can't get low notes out and there low F all the way down to low C sound very airy, but that doesn't seem to be the problem for me, These are the beefiest Low F E D and C's I have ever heard and played. As you already know and I'm planning on going to music school with the Flute being my second instrument and I wanted to know if the Armstrong 104 Model Beginner Flute would be a good choice. I just love the tone quality in the low register, it's just so Warm and Dark and Resonant and Beefy. I just love this Flute.
Hm, it appears that FCNY only has an Armstrong alto and bass, but I hope it's something I can review in the future!
I recommend a silver headjoint. Silver makes the low notes even beefier and easier. I play a Armstrong 100 which is about the same as 104 but with a silver headjoint.
There are better instruments than Armstrong. Check out Di zhao 200 and 300 series
So when I upgrade would it be a good Idea to upgrade to just a Silver Headjoint first?
That's surprising I thought for sure they would have that.
Hi Joanna, so I'm hoping to get a piccolo in the next year or so, but I don't know where to start looking. I'm more of an intermediate player on the piccolo. Do you have any advice?
Start with your budget! Then find some within your price range and try them out. Listen for tone colour and ease of playing. You'll need to think about what you're using the piccolo for, and after a few trials, you'll get a feel for what you're looking for. Flute festivals are the best for this!
Ay! I have a dolce! ✨ but it's old....💀I need an upgrade.
Old is still beautiful! 😉
When's the last time it had a COA
Recently I've been looking into the Pearl Quantz Vigore 665 or 795 but having trouble finding a video review. Will there be one coming anytime soon? I also would like to me how wall thickness affects tone, projection, etc.
I'm getting the Pearl Elegante 795 Vigore
Some things I wish you would do in your videos are: 1) use a compressor on your recordings. It will make listening to your playing a whole lot easier when you force your high notes. Thinking a bit more about mic technique would be helpful too. Number two, please make a conclusion which states which flute you prefer and why. A review only has value to me if there are opinions expressed. You're smart enough and a good enough player to say which flute you prefer. It doesn't mean that it's the absolute truth, just your opinion and I'd like to hear it. Thank you. PS: I have a 795 and big hands.
My friend have a flute with in-line G and E- mechanizm
So you're indicating the tongue must be rolled up behind in back while the ball effect is shaped in the mouth? My teeth naturally lay touching behind my teeth Is that wrong then?
I'm confused among pearl 795
or yamaha or Gemeinhardt..
can you help me choosing the best brand as the most beautiful sound and performance please?
Thank you, you are great.. 👍
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!❤❤
Aw, thank you!!!
Absolutely loved this video... Maybe because my flute is a Pearl 795 elegante (not vigore) and it's perfect for me
Nicola Giordani Me too :)
Awesome!!
I have a 795. I've had it for over 10 years now. I hate it lol.
Don't be shy to try other flutes if you have the chance! Flutes really play wildly differently from each other!
Hello, so I was wondering what your suggested or preferred brand is for flute?
Did you read the book “Mozart’s women” By Jane Glover that you bought a couple of years ago? If you did and you remember what you thought it be really great to know :D
I read a bit, but I couldn't hold on to it when I moved! I'll need to find it again someday. It was really interesting!
Could we ask Pearl for a Bb foot? I would love a Bb foot become the standard for all flutes (piccolo, alto and bass) Yes, I love these flutes. Thank you.😊☺
I've heard some of the rare flutes with Bb foots have worse 3rd octave intonation because of the Bb foot.
Hey mam , i have a goal and a dream to study music (woodwinds ) at julliards , what all could help me to rach there and, what are the tings i can start to do to reach near to it .....im soo sure i am one day gonna be there ,just need a bit of guidance .
Does anyone know how long it would take for them to ship / produce the Flute to me ?
Heya!! I missed chu! That’s because my old phone got stolen. Aaaaaaaanyway i love your videos!! ♥️♥️♥️
Yo! I was wondering where you went, sorry to hear about your old phone!! But yay new phone? 😛
JustAnotherFlutist yep! iPhone 8 Plus. I love this phone! Also by the way keep your awesome work up.
Love this video! Could you maybe do a video about recommendations for flutes for adult amateurs? Not like, beginner amateurs but people who want to have a good flute to really get enjoyment of playing but dont want to take out a loan :) I currently play on a Yamaha 471 with a Drelinger head joint and I'm saving up to upgrade at some point!! Thanks!
Sounds good! I think all the flutes I've been mentioning for music students would be perfect for what you're looking for--mostly because I'm keeping the student budget in mind. ;) The student budget has to have amazing features for a reasonable price point, which is what we've got here with the Pearls and last month's Di Zhaos. :D
Cool! That's what I was thinking but I figured I'd ask :) I have added this and the Di Zhaos to my trail list!
Could this get any better yes it can Joanna does another review it's so awesome watching your reviews it's so relaxing to hear you play thanks for being so awesome oh and Joanna I went to a flute show and the engraved lip plate is that bad for playing I'm new to seeing engraved 😊
The engraving helps the lip plate not slip as much, haha! I also had the option to have that done on my flute, but I couldn't afford it 😛
JustAnotherFlutist Thanks so helpful Joanna it's so tempting to have mine engraved especially the ones I've seen on Pinterest Pinterest is a weakness for me to look at flutes but I appreciate it! 😊
Please review a wooden flute sometime if you can find one that would be so interesting to hear!
Oh, I'd love to do that too!
Juliyan Martinez It’s funny that I saw this after we hung out
Hey. I really want to go to music school, like sooo much. But my parents want me to be a doctor (no my parents aren’t Asian). How do I tell them that I want to pursue a music career?
Play the flight of the bumblebee in their face!
Lol! It's one of my patron goals 😛
That's a tough one. I have heard of some people doing double degrees or double majors as a compromise with their parents, and I've also heard of people completing the degree their parents wanted first before completing a music degree. There are actually many ways to get around it, and you do have a lot of time to get it done while you're still young. 😊
Maybe they would be more convinced if you show you do your homework about what that career path entails, that you have looked at it in detail, talked with people who do it, know the pros and cons and still feel passionate about it, are under no illusions about the hard work and money prospects. And that you have others like your flute teacher saying you're that good and have real potential. And to show a good work ethic in other areas. If you show you can make a living out of it and have a plan then they could probably possibly accept it, grudgingly or less grudgingly. And I think if you do that homework it might make things clearer for you too.
Fun fact: J-P Rampal started in med school but made it into the Paris Conservatoire. Seriously, if you consider the life skills that you need to pursue a career in music, it's a well rounded education.
Your reviews are always the best! 😩🙌 I'm still watching the video but the pearl 695 seems *very* similar to the way that I play. Also i have a question. How do I know whether I put in a lot of air into my flute? I'm not really sure whether or not I play with a lot of air or not
It's more the feeling of how the flute responds to you. If you feel like you're constantly having to suppress yourself, your flute might not be able to take as much air as others. If you constantly feel like you can never "fill out" your flute, it might be cut to be as free-flowing as possible. So you really just need to try other flutes to get a good idea 😊
JustAnotherFlutist oh ok thank you! Do you think you could make a video one day talking about professional pit orchestras & how to play in one? Is it the same as auditioning for a regular orchestra & signing a contract? I love doing pit ensemble in highschool & would absolutely love to continue doing professional ones when I'm older.
Wow, great questions! Contracts differ greatly from company to company, plus there is usually a "do not discuss this contract with anyone not involved in this contract" clause in them, so that makes it a bit difficult to talk about. Let me think on it and come up with a way to talk about so you guys know what to look for and how to negotiate. :)
What is the gizmo key?
How Much dose it cost
can you please make a review of the YAMAHA YFL 874 HW? please :3
Noted!
Is this for professional player?
Hi Joanna. How do you get your tone so loud and clear? I want my flute to sound like that flute but everytime I try to do that, I end up overblowing the notes
Haley Anderson Relaxed, open embouchure, warm air, supported, directed air stream into the flute moreso than across the flute. And practise long tones as semi breves moving chromatically
What are semi breves?
Haley Anderson I think in USA it's called whole notes
Oh okay, that makes more sense now
Pretty much what Thomas said, plus a lot of experimentation, since every flute will respond differently 😉
Can you play " Came Here For Love" from Sigala ft Ella Eyre
Haven't heard that one! Will need to check it out 😊
💚🖤
❤️
Love all your videos and reviews. Wewt for the Candian flag pin ^_^
YAY SOMEONE NOTICED!
Born and raised in Toronto, grew up with those lil pins, still have one my jacket ^_^. Great to see they've traveled far :)
Big ask for you, could you possibly do a review of wood head joints/lip plates etc, or share your opinion on them :)
Coming from personal experience, the 795 flute is terrible for flute majors! It's a good intermediate step up for late high school and maybe the first year of your undergrad, but the instrument is just NOT going to hold up for a very long time. The resistance of the keys means that there's more force going onto the pads when you do press them down, and this is going to wear out the pads far too quickly. With the amount of practice you need to be doing as a serious music student, the pads on this flute aren't going to last the typical 5 years before you need the first re-padding, you'll be lucky if you get two. It's also much harder to fix small problems on your own with disassembling the entire flute, as the mechanism is built so strangely! The C sharp trill key is on a rod by itself, as opposed to on the same rod as the other 2 trill keys. This means there's more things in the way to get to springs and screws to fix those basic things that go wrong! I really wouldn't recommend this for a music major, you'll be much better off saving up an extra grand or two and getting something that can last a really long time. I love the tone of this flute, the low register is beautiful and the d sharp roller is a god send, but it's just not worth it in my opinion.
Please, review Azumi S series :)
On the list!
Bass flute reviews?
Definitely on the list! 😉 Just gotta get through some more C flutes first!
Hi.. Nice Flute, I just bought The 795Vigore..just because of Your Video as it great Price performance instrument. Can You help me with idea, if i play flute like i used to its 1/4 tone too sharp, the c# gets even half tone sharp. I get rid of this sharpness only when I roll in flute head and close more hole with my lip, but then my sound is getting not so dynamic and not to my taste. Should I do some cork readjustment? But it the cork position is the same as it needs in instruction. For me a little helps not to put head till the end in flute, but is it good practice , how much in mm I can compensate my pitch in this way? Feels like if Im had not inserted the head fully the head gets some unwanted movements. Or just readjust cork or simply play rolled in? Please , Please some coments..
I measured, to get good pitch i have to insert head only 1.1inch or 28milimeters🤔
Do you know if repair shops can replate keys? On my flute the left hand pointer finger key (not sure of the technical name) the silver has rubbed off and would like to get it replated. And about how much would it be?
Repair people are magical, but there are no standard prices! You'll need to ask for a quote. I do know that they can make something work for you, as one of my flutes has the same issue and one of my repairpersons offered to fix it. 😊
JustAnotherFlutist thanks. I had just got a new flute that has some wear from the previous owner and needs some work
Wanted a review of these Flutes!
And I delivered! 😛
Good. But You should've played it a lot more
Second comment!
WHEEEEEEEEEE
First comment!!!!!
Hahahaha, yayyyy!! 😊
I have never been first comment. Always see your videos 2-3 hours later. (Soooo happy!!).
Hahahaha, there's something about knowing that that makes ME super happy too!!
I love my inline G 🙃 6:10 my friend's Powell Custom also has that little dimple in the thumb key 🤔
Cool!! Gotta inspect a Powell again!
