And on the comment about the Miyazawa that he plays. Just as long as you are happy, you will be okay. YOU are the one who has to play the instrument and enjoy it for years to come. Just keep in mind, that YOU are the one that has to be happy with the decision.

Just remember to take all of our opinions with a grain of salt. And this is coming from someone who is a college music major, when this decision is absolutely critical to my future career. True, at first I wanted all sterling construction, but then when it came down to matching me as a player, the nickle silver suited me the best. My favorite out of all of them was a Miyazawa with a sterling head, and the rest was nickle silver construction.

I myself just came from a convention today, and I got to try out about 100 flutes. Even though it is just a sterling lip and riser, the rest of the flute is nickle silver. I'm not saying that Sonare is bad, but I personally liked Altus as a whole better than Sonare, and usually handcraftsmanship from a reputable maker results in a flute that is better made, and more flexible as a whole. So, most likely, over a long period of time, the Altus will hold up better and will serve your needs longer as you grow as a flutist.

So, you must understand that it is a hand cut headjoint put on a machine made flute.įrom what I have read on Altus's webpage, the 807 is the first of their handcrafted series flutes. Sonare is still very young, and quality control has been an issue in the past. However, I will give you my personal opinion based off of my expieriance with both companies. Remember to take all posts on here with a grain of salt because it is really hard to recommend someone to buy one flute over another.
