Flute Solid Silver
Leblanc(unknown2me) flutes vs Gemeinhardt?
has anyone ever purchased a Leblanc flute? im trying to decide between a Leblanc solid silver, open tone holed, low Bb, offset G or a Gemeinhardt that has solid silver, Gold Plated lip, open tone holes, low Bb and inline G.
(im interested in a low Bb and open holed flute)
i prefere an offset G and really dont wana deal with gold plated but Gemeinhardt is a reliable brand (my teacher recomended it and i trust her completely) but the offset solid silver (which i much prefere but really its kind of arbitrary) is a brand called Leblanc which i cant find much information on? anyone know anything about this brand? anyone purchased it before? good experiences? bad?
or should i stick with a nice Gemeinhardt? (that i see 2 slight faux-pas in[gold plated lip and inline G])?
First – flutes are not made with a low Bb – they go down to low B. The only flutes that ever had a low Bb have a LH lever below the G# key; these were discontinued because they were heavy and cumbersome. If you want to play in that range get an Alto Flute..
Second – you are trying to decide between crap and crap. Of all the fabulous flutes out there – you have picked 2 smelly dogs. Your teacher is either older than Moses, or was *taught* by someone who is really out of touch with the modern flute world – nobody of any standing in the flute education word today recommends Gemeinhardts. You may love your teacher – but open your eyes and ears to other possibilities. Read at www.jennifercluff.com – this is NOT me! LeBlanc is known for clarinets – their flutes were never good. Gemeinhardt has been sold and resold – and better brands abound. Gotta go – will come back in a day or so with more info.
