What's really cool is that I usually don't practice very often, but when I watch your videos it gives me a lot of motivation to practice!! Thanks Joanna!! I love you!

Thank you for reviewing these flutes! I just got the Yamaha 677 flute and it was the best decision I have ever made!
I own a Yamaha 381, but I decided to test your playing method anyway. My tone has improved SO MUCH thanks to your meticulous description on how the Yamaha flutes like to be played. Thank you, and keep up the good work! 👍👍👌
Something else to make note of: the second number in the model number also dictates whether or not the flutes have split e mechanisms as well. 1 indicates a closed hole flute with split e (ie 212, 312, 517, 617, etc.). 7 is an open hole model with split e (372, 472, 577, 677, etc.).
Hi friends! Unfortunately, I'm busy doing more moving things this morning, so I may not be able to reply to your comment as quickly as I usually would on a Saturday morning in Seattle! But please keep the comments rolling in! I'll get to them as soon as I can ^_^
Hope you guys enjoy this review, it was really really fun to make! So much nostalgia!!

What microphone are you using in this video? It captures the flute and and your voice very well. Do you have any other microphones you might recommend?
I play the Yamaha 221 student model and I would like a review on it since I don't really know that much about it
Thanks!
P.s.: your flute humor makes your videos 100000 times better
Played a 677 today and it was amazing! I guess I sorta knew that I was always a Yamaha girl but I just had to be shown again. It's never about the brand of the flute itself, it's about what fits your playing style and what works better for you. And with so many options, all instrumental players really have options galore :) (the world is thy oyster lol)
I just bought my yamaha 677 and it’s amazing. Thanks to you ❤️
I have not tried the handmade Yamaha flutes and I'm not the biggest fan of the Yamaha sound ( It's a little bright for my taste) but I'm impressed with the harmonics on all the flutes😃❤❤
Thanks for reviewing these fantastic flutes! I love playing my Yamaha 577 but I was curious to hear what you thought of it!
I'm also playing it and I also love my own👍🏼
PLEASE review the Yamaha yfl 222 and the Pearl pf500!
You have helped me so much when it comes to playing, I play Flute and Piccolo so I really needed the help, thank you so much
I play a 577 for 18 month now. Bought it after carefull trial cause it fitted my playing style well. With the bit of perspective now, I can say that a distinctive quality is the ease of playing pianissimo on this flute, even in the upper register. High notes come out easily, but I was initially principally appealed by the response in the lower register, where you have a lot of control even playing loud. I agree with the remark that pressure against the chin should be as light as possible.
In short, I think the "Am" headjoint is very well designed, and will bring you very far without feeling the need for a custom handmade headjoint.

Hi Joanna :) I love watching the FCNY videos because I'm still very new to the flute and it's helpful for me to see your embouchure up close, so thanks haha.
I have a few questions though. Is there any difference with an in-line/off-set G key besides reach for the player? Would you ever consider reviewing more student models or lower spectrum intermediate models (Like the Yamaha 300 series)?
I absolutely adore the Yamaha series! I currently own the discontinued 784 which is a beauty to me. I'm thinking of upgrading to a gold head joint. Any suggestions?
Marcos Ruiz try Lafin headjoints. Expensive but worth it
My suggestion is that the gold and silver aren't necessarily better than one another, they are simply different. Silver has a darker, colder feel, in my opinion, while gold has a warmer feel to it.
@@joshuaqueflander8178 Gold is more expensive and therefore sounds better.
@@ironmatic1 gold gives off a more mellow tone and can have a habit of sounding when playing alongside silver flutes
@@joshuaqueflander8178 If they could make a flute out of enriched uranium people would buy it and convince themselves it sounds better purely because it's more expensive. You know what else gives off a more mellow tone? A wooden headjoint.
Would the 677 be a good flute to buy to go through college as a performance major?
Can you try to review some more intermediate flute models like the azumi or pearl flutes? Thanks!
Hi Joanna, could you please review Yamaha YFL472 please? There aren’t many reviews out there about this flute. I’m very interested to know what you think about this flute.
Thanks heaps!!!
I grew up on Yamaha flutes! The Flute Center of New York is awesome too-super helpful! Great video as always! I love your reviews!
I feel like skipping the 472 and going straight to the 677 after I master my 222. I need something that I can grow into for the next 20 years after I get 3 more years out of the 222. If I had deep pockets though I'd probably step up to an intermediate flute though for the short term then go to a professional flute. Its just easier to put more money into a better flute that you can eventually adapt and grow into. The 677 would give me a challenge especially with the deep wall, open holes, B-Foot pretty much a more advanced version of an intermediate flute but at the professional level. More bells and whistles.
I'm trying to get a new flute and I am debating between YFL-462H or YFL-362H. The only difference I see is YFL-462 is made out of sterling silver and YFL-362 is made out of nickel silver.
Also, both of them had a gold plated lip plate, just regular model, and a student version with a C foot joint. I really want the gold plated models but I have no idea how the gold plated lip plate would make my playing better or maybe even worse...Which one should I choose?
Which flute did you get? I’m getting the YFL-462. I love the rich sound of the solid silver over the silver plated. The keys are so springy and the flute is super easy to play in all octaves. Many professionals told me the gold plated lip plate made no difference in sound but was more for looks or if you have a silver allergy. I hope you are enjoying your flute. They are amazing.
I have been playing the flute for more years then i can recall. I have never thought or reflected on my column of air, the spin of air or the differences in where the air moves between different instruments. I am not certain it would make any difference in my playing. It is interesting that you are acutely aware of these factors.
Wonderful video, thank you so much. I'm off to the Flute Centre to try them all out.
I primarily play Irish tunes but I'm becoming besotted by jazz flute.
The info on breath placement blew me away.
My best regards.
Pearse
You should do one on the Nagahara standard/full concert/ Galway models
Excellent job on the reviews. You are a great spokes person. I am totally new to learning the flute so a lot of what you explained about what's going on in your mouth with respect to airflow is way beyond me but I'm sure it was helpful to a lot of intermediate players.
Joanna back at it again with the review keep the reviews going I love hearing flutes and your articulation is on point keep up the good work😊☺😉
Love the video! I have a 677 and will definitely try to figure out how to do those things you highlighted... Still long way to go for me to master my wand!
Are you going to continue the Saturday Live streams??
Lol I don't even play flute I play violin yet I still watch your videos
Any idea how much costs the yammaha yfl 42 sterling silver. Years 1974~1979 ???
Hi, if you can review an Altus Flute d amore and A key please review it and how does it compare to standard c flute.. thanks..
please review di zhao 700, the embachur(don't know how to spell that) hole is different from some other flutes because the walls of the hole are faced more outward to let air travel faster.
hunt artist 2 Google is helpful for spell checking. Just saying.
My flute is the Yamaha 577, I’m in the 8th grade and IMA USE IT ALLLL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL YAY
Really nice review. Could you please also review Yamaha wooden flutes?
Yep, I too would love to see her review the Yamaha and other wooden flutes. Thanks for making the suggestion.
My nose naturally flare up when I play the flute. Is this normal?
Joshua How I had a masterclass and I learned that you will get more resonance if you flare your nose. It's a good thing
Hi Joanna! Love all your videos, thank you I really appreciate you. I lost my flute for a weekend and rented a flute but now I like the rental better than my flute. So i'm in the market for a new flute. Will you review Di Zhao Flutes if possible.
Also on another note (: when you review the flutes you talk about tone color and dynamics. If you haven't made a video on those would you consider those topics? Thanks again and I look forward to your next videos
HI Joanna, You have reviewed a lot flutes recently but i have yet to find any reviews on the Sankyo flutes. I'd love to hear your opinion on the Sankyo Etude and the , Sylversonic model. it would be fun if a C joint and closed holes model is included in your review. Kee up the good work !
Hi, Joanna, I wanna buy YFL-281 can you explain what does it mean?
Hello! This is kind of urgent 😭
I have to choose between 577 and 677. What should I choose? I really can't decide. Which do you think it should be better after a 272 Yamaha?
I'd suggest also choosing the 677 because as I interpreted it, the 677 is a good mix of the 577 and the 777 because of the silver content, you'll have an even feel of power ad resistance, rather than too much of one side of the spectrum m
Hmm, Joanna, I think it'd be really interesting if you reviewed beginner flutes more. Idk like maybe a Yamaha 222 which is the one i have. I also wanna see how its like and the sound difference if you played a beginner flute like the Yamaha 222 then a higher level flute like the 777 right after. I know you did do a review comparing a Jupiter 507S but if it's not too much of a waste of time i think reviewing a beginner flute similar to the way you review these kinds of flutes would be cool lol(ya know, like going through dynamics and mechanism and tone color and embouchure stuff) Just a suggestion i guess. thanks for reading :D ALSO I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THEY GIVE ME LIFE LMAO
i really enjoy your videos and its really help full thank you i really LEARN A LOT FROM YOU !!
is 700 series solid silver or silver plated? i see on website it say silver plated
OMG MY FLUTE IS THE 677 AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
IT'S PRETYYYY
i have the 577H with a gold lip plate and c# trill key 😍
Hi Joanna, you are a very talented flute player with a detailed approach when analysing flutes which makes your reviews very rich and useful. Could you please compare three flutes available in FCNY? They are a Haynes Q-Galway (#3981) versus a Muramatsu GX III (#102514) versus a Haynes Q2 hand-cut Classic headjoint with 14K gold riser (#4887). Many thanks for your refined analysis.
Please do a video with comparison between the great American flutes: Burkart, Brannen, Powell and Haynes (drawn). THX
could you possibly review the yfl 471 and maybe others in the allegro series
Hola, al comprar en flute Center, y pagas el envío por Fedex tienes que pagar impuesto de aduana?
Which one did you like the most. I'm looking to get a new flute
I am new to flute, and some of the expressions you use are a bit confusing; making matters more difficult is that I can't seem to find them explained elsewhere on the web. For example, when you say that air is "spinning" near the front of your mouth, are you literally saying that you have the physical sensation of that? If so, what does it mean in terms of how you play that particular flute when compared to a flute in which air "spins" further back in your mouth?
Thanks in advance for any explanation you may provide.
I really enjoy your videos and tips.
John
John B I interpret "spinning" is the flow of air stream projected. As which part of the "spinning" would be the most resonance point that makes the flute "sing". ☺️
Hi, love your videos. Please could you do one on wooden flutes?
Could you do a review on the YFL 272? I just started playing this model and I'd love to hear more about it.
Please do more beginner flutes!
What is the difference between the phoenix pads and regular Straubinger pads?
Greetings Miss Joanna.
I have a question for you about the Yamaha flutes.
Why is that the 400 series has a Sterling Silver head joint and body and the 500 series has just a silver plated body?
Thanks a lot for doing these flute reviews. have a great day.
wladimir herrera the manufacturing techniques are different between their intermediate and professional lines. There is more hand finishing in the professional model than the intermediate model.
oh ok. thanks.
Wow, my vintage 581 seems to be equivalent to the 777, only without a C# trill key. Wonder why they renamed them
Hello! Could you review some flutes from TrevorJames? I love these videos:)
Are you going to the flute festival in Seattle in April
Hi, just askin if you know a 500$ flute that features a B Foot?
I learn the same lesson: If you want to play a musical instrument, go for the highest price you can afford. Reasons? Better tone, better timbre, easier to play as compared to cheaper instruments. I suffered so much as student with a cheap instrument which was hard to play well and high notes were unstable all because the music shop assistant persuaded my parents (I was a teen then) to buy the cheapest instrument. Parents could well afford the top of the line models, that's the irony.
Can you review the Trevor James Virtuoso?
when you do a trial, Can you take the hole covers off of the open hole.
hey joanna! i've been watching your videos for a long time now and i find them very helpful...i'm planning to buy a new flute, a step-up flute from the JSchmidt student model I've been playing for years...do you have any suggestions on the best intermediate flutes you can recommend? :) would really appreciate your help..haha...there are so many brands and im so confused...i so feel like a desperate wizard in search of her wand right now..haha
Find a good flute store near you and try out the flutes in your price range that fit your needs best. Try out as many flutes as you can, and see what suits you vest
*best
I love my 677 but I cannot get the 7th harmonic on c out, while I could get it out on the 577 and my previous 281. I love my flute but it's a difference to notice.
I loved my 677 but I love my Miyazawa BR-602REHC# more!!
I have the 677
And it's a beauty!!
Lucky you
I have the 577
Are these professional models? Or good for recreational?
577 does NOT have Straubinger Phoenix pads
I always think the Flute Center of New York aka FCNY I always think it say FANCY
HAHAHAHAHA
Prodigiosus Amicus so tru tho
can you please review the Pearl Piccolo PFP-105E?
Can you please please do a review on the Haynes Amadeus flute please
review 225s and pterodactyls!!
I have a question me and my friends name our instruments is that weird?
577 also has the made in japan engraving?
Can you review Yamaha 261
Awww I'd love to have any of those flutes!! Sadly the price doesn't help out much😧
Same, maybe there's like a rental program or something?
Could you please review pearl quantz or pearl dolce models?
Could you review some intermediate models, please?
Pls pls pls do regent flutes I'm thinking about getting one not sure though
Please review a Muramatsu DS model.
Hey, how many flutes do you have? I love watching your videos😍❤
amazing
Can you review an Azumi Z3? Thanks I love your channel, its amazing!!!
I had the Azumi you mention and for the same money you can get an Altus 807/907 for almost the same price. I traded for the Altus and the difference between the two is night and day. The Altus is handmade in Japan where the Azumi is from Taiwan. The Altus was the hands down winner for me.
Of course, the best thing to do is try them out and decide from there. Happy fluting!
Excelente Joana !!!
Are you a professional player?
Awesome review!!!
Are silver flutes better
Samantha Jester it really depends on the player and the sound you’re going for
YFL- 381HCT
I have the 261
What did the guy use to call his friend? His xyloPHONE!
I have a Yamaha :)
I hate the word “Flutist” ! I grew up in my 31 years of experience referring us as “Flautist”
Yamaha doesn't sound as good as before... it has harsh sound in bass tones. Not fuller as from the 70s and 80s flutes.
Could you do a review of the Azumi AZ3 model?
