Description: My daughter is a professional flutist. This used to be her instrument, and here are her thoughts: "As a player who loves modern wooden concert flutes, this instrument is a godsend! All the beauty and warmth of wood with none of the concern over cracking. This is an extremely flexible and agile instrument with a surprising depth of tone! I’m only selling because I have other instruments that I have a preference for, and I felt this wonderful flute deserved to be played! Additionally, this flute is from a genius of a maker who is as conscious of producing high quality instruments at a reasonable cost, environmentally friendly compared to their wood and metal counterparts as well! This flute plays as well as an instrument that costs 3 times as much (and that’s referencing the new price!). Hope this beautiful flute finds a great home!" Details from the manufacturer's and flute websites: Guo grenaditte flutes are made of an advanced composite that is incredibly responsive, weather-resilient, crack-resistant, and lightweight. Grenaditte is an advanced composite material with the same density as grenadilla wood and extremely lightweight. Density is the key to amazing tone. The Guo grenaditte flutes features a hand cut head joint for great projection and flexibility. Its distinctive sound - similar to that of bamboo wood flutes, but easier to play - is suitable for all kinds of music, from classical to jazz to folk to crossover. Its light weight - this flute weighs only around 340g (12oz) - also makes it ideal for players who experience RSI or shoulder pains when playing a metal flute. Grenaditte has similar acoustic property to bamboo-wood, but without the disadvantages of tonal fluctuations, the risk of cracking and the high costs associated with wood instruments. Why is the flute so advanced? This flute is technically advanced for several reasons: -- Made from Grenaditte - similar acoustic properties of wood, but 100% consistent, incredibly lightweight, crack-resistant and less costly-- Hand cut embouchure-- Open holes - inline G key-- Distinctive sound (and look!)-- Unique design of posts and tone holes-- Special head joint assembly: cork is replaced with an acoustic chamber-- Revolutionary low B foot joint with gizmo joint design results in a faster action than traditional designs-- Undercut tone holes for accurate intonation-- Easily adjustable thumb mechanism-- Exclusive pad washer design makes the feel of the instrument incredibly light and responsive-- Textured exterior for better grip and wood-like appearance Here’s a recording of a wonderful flutist playing one of these instruments as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxoKQn-jPj8 Lilly - CD Latitud de Omar Acostayoutu.be No international shipping, and the flute will be shipped insured.
