I didn't even know you could learn flute at 4 years old! That's amazing...
Believe it or not, you can actually start as young as 3 if the child is focussed and mature enough! So crazy!
This is such a wonderful video. Oh my goodness. How wonderful is it that someone who loves music so much is creating so much music.
Aw, thank you John! I really appreciate it! This video was a lot of fun to make
you were so talented even with just your first flute! I really enjoyed the video.
Awww, thank you!
That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey. Me.. my flute journey.. started on an Artley and steped up to a Armstrong. I didnt play for a long time and when back I had my Armstrong overhauled. It was good, but knew I needed more. I got a Miyazawa 325 rh. After 15 years I upgraded the headjoint to the new MX2 with a gold riser. Two years ago I bought the Miyazawa Elite in the 958 silver. Love it!
Gina.. love that you could start so young. You have n amazing story. My story is I am not a professional. I was aiming that way once upon a time but life happened and my path changes. I started when I was 10 on a student Artley. That goes back to 1969. My freshmen year it was recommended I get a step up. I ended up with a sterling Armstrong. Then life happened and I had to put my flute away for the next 20 years. Almost 25 years ago now I had the opportunity to join our church orchestra. I had my Armstrong serviced but knew I had outgrown it. I was luckily to end up with a Miyazawa Mc325 Rh. Today that is the 402. That was in 2001. It was already 10 years old. I was again in love with my flute. At this point of my life it is just for me. Two years ago I upgraded my head to the MX2 with a gold riser. What a difference that made! Again in love. This past year I had an opportunity to buy a new flute. I ended up with the Miyazawa Elite with the 958 silver and all the bells and whistles on it. The expression and colors I can make on the elite is wonderful. I was able to get it without the head joint since my was pretty new. One thing you also would have felt going from the 402 to an Elite is the difference the soldered tone holes make. They make everything so even when your playing. I just love it and feel like the flute almost plays itself. The high notes are effortless and almost always in tune and pretty! Still love my other one and decided to keep it. After all.. I have 8 grandchildren and a couple of them are interested in flute. Miyazawas with care last years and years!! One granddaughter can start next year. She will be amazing... At 8 she gets full tone out of the headjoint. Not that common for a beginner to do that. In time.. who knows.. she might end up with my Miyazawas. Best Wishes on your career! enjoyed your video..
Hello Gina. Every now and then the RUclips recommendations algorithm chucks me something which is tangential to my interests at best, but still manages to score a bullseye. This video was intensely absorbing and you have a new subscriber. It's not as if I have any particular insight let alone anything very intelligent to say, but I did want to remark that the sound demonstrations started off ravishing and got better from there on. Thank you. :-)
Gina, this was very useful! I am in the process of trialling flutes to replace my 50-yr-old Gemeinhardt M3. So far I have trialled the Azumi Z3 and the Amadeus 780, but you have given me much to consider. Thanks!
Had a $220aud beginner flute for the past 15 years, and it's brought so much enjoyment. I somehow managed to put it through grade 6 pieces in school. Havent played nearly as much in the 6 years since my last lesson, and didnt particularly enjoy going back to those pieces, but playing in church band I get lots of compliments, and it's fun to experiment with simpler music.
Now that I've done some research and comparisons, I can really tell how my flute struggles to keep up with fast technical work, and the keys sometimes stick, and high notes are really metallic, and that was probably part of why I was reluctant to go back. So I'm finally upgrading to a yamaha intermediate, which will inspire me to play more!
Thank you Gina! This is so inspiring and helpful for me to keep playing my flute and piccolo! I love your videos!
I'm so glad! Do you think I should do another video like this one about piccolos?
@@GinaLuciani That would be amazing! Also do you know what time a flutist should move from a beginner flute to a step-up or intermediate flute? Thank you!
I started with the following:
Armstrong flute-4th to 12th grade
Pearl 665- 2006 to 2023
Muramatsu PTP 2023 to Present
This called me broke at 5 different flute levels lol
I started flute on an Armstrong that my friend in highschool lent me. Flute required an elastic band around the trill key to keep it down (honestly, the elastic band was a good replacement for the spring; don't use rubber bands as this chemically binds with anything silver).
Upgraded to a used King that sealed better and had all working keys. I actually studied on this flute in college because the professor was impressed how much I accomplished as a self-taught flautist.
Two years into studying I upgraded to a used Jupiter 6000SE which has a .925 SS/Gold Plated HJ and SP mech (around $1000 flute I believe). It's since been discontinued. The flute is riddled with leaks and misalignments because of how worn it is. The gold is beginning to peel on the inside of the headjoint.
I finally plan on upgrading to a full silver flute after playing on beginner flutes for my entire career. I am buying it brand new in the hopes that I don't have to deal with the issues of a previous owner's mistakes.
Hi Gina. I love watching this flute video, and you have inspired me to get the Trevor James Virtuoso flute as my back up flute. I was originally looking at getting a Pearl 795 Elegance flute as my back up, but the Trevor James seems like a much better option. I play on an Altus 1107 flute, which is my main flute, and I absolutely love it xx
I've just moved up from my old Jupiter student flute, to a Altus 807 body with a Miguel Arista solid silver head joint.
Such a lovely instrument to play....!
💕🎵🎵🙂💕
That's amazing! Congrats on your new flute!
@@GinaLuciani Thank you. ❤️
You should do a Ocarina collection and talk about your story and how you got into the ocarina! Love your vids im new to your channel but its great 😊
In a couple of weeks (August 24th to be exact), I will have been playing flute for 16 years. My evolution of flutes is very different; I started when I was almost 12 and on my 12th Birthday I got my first flute which was a used Selmer Bundy (It wasn’t very good) but I stayed with that flute until the end of my sophomore year of high school. The end of my sophomore year, I ended up getting a rent to own flute that was an Emerson (My parents couldn’t afford to buy me a better flute at the time). Then, the summer before my senior year of high school, my dad got me a Gemeinhardt 3OSB and I played on that until about two months before my undergrad senior recital when I got my current flute which is an Altus 1107 (This was four and a half years ago) and I love it. I’m hoping to upgrade my piccolo soon because my piccolo is basically a piccolo for a beginner which is a Gemeinhardt 4PMH.
Happy Fluting Anniversary! Sweet 16! Thanks for sharing your story - I love how everyone has a different evolution. You should check out the TJ piccs. Both the Blaze and Red Wood sound amazing and are at a good price point :)
I loved this video! I know you plan content months in advance, but would you consider doing a video about affordable backup flutes and piccolos?
Awesome story Gina!!
Glad you liked it!!
The little mermaid is my favorite Disney movie as well. Close second was Fantasia. I actually credit my love of classical music to Disney. I watched TLM and Fantasia so much its all I wanted to listen to for the longest time. I eventually played flute in middle school. I had a vintage Armstrong at the time. I regret it now but I sold it right after high school. Now in my 30s I have started learning again and I love it. Makes me so sad I ever quit in the first place. I have even started looking to buy the original flute model I had back in middle school. I found one but it needs a lot of love to work again. But I am just happy to have it. I play a Pearl now though.
Have you made a video about your personal flute warm-up method? If not, could you make one about warm-ups you recommend?
Thanks for the great difference you make to flute-playing. Don Walker, Brighton, UK.
I'm really interested in another video like this but you talking about microphones you've used!!
Great video!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Gina ! Loved this video
Thank you! It was fun going back to all of my babies :)
Gina Luciani watching this makes me want to pull out all my flutes again 🥺 definitely feels like a walk down memory Lane playing all your past flutes
My first flute was a Yamaha 221 -> Yamaha 300 series? (Inline open hole b foot on loan to me from my firstflute teacher till she decided to donate it) -> Jupiter DiMedici 911-> Azumi 3000-> Powell Aurumite 9k-> Powell w/ Mancke HJ-> then finally my Nagahara 950 w/ 14k Williams hj 24k riser or Mancke HJ
Great video. What did you mean by "resistance" in your description of the flutes you used?
Good video quality.
Aweseome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! If you'd have to chose a flute for playing mostly jazz and flamenco, which one would you recommend me between Di Zhao 300 and Gemeinhardt 30B, or Gemeinhardt 3SHB? I'm seeking for a flute with a great bass like your Jupiter! hahaha Have a nice day!!!
Gina the one you said had leaks sounded really good. Tho it was a slight tuning issues by that is with everything. Thanks to Perfect Pitch me I can comment more knoweldge
私もミヤザワのフルートを使っています！いいですよねー
I love this
Thank you!
Which headjoint cuts did you get on both Miyazawas? I'm super impressed with your career, keep it up!👍
HOW IS SHE SO GOOD AT FOUR HELLO???
Geez, you've been playing the flute for quite a long time!
I have!
Very interesting.
I didn't realize how much flute quality varies
Yeah, it's pretty crazy isn't it?
@@GinaLuciani it is. You can hear the difference a professional instrument gives
Interesting video as usual! I just wonder if you can compare offset g with inline g, if possible at all. I know you mentioned you have small hands so it might not be a good idea for your health to play inline g for a long time, but there are many inline g models available on the market, especially pre-owned. So I thought inline g ones are certainly an option for many, and that leads to my question. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on playability and tone difference (I believe no difference) etc...
Great question. Honestly, as far as I know there is no sound difference at all. The only reason to choose inline is if it feels more comfortable for you. I'd recommend trying one out and seeing how it feels for you!
I don't think there is any advantages one way or the other. Like you said, I chose offset because my hands are smaller and it's much more comfortable for me. I actually still have a bit of trouble reaching the G key and have a plug in that key haha.
Hope this helps and let me know if I can help anymore!
hey, i have that miyazawa flute model :D
Wow you sound very different on the Miyazawa 402 than the other flutes. It seemed the most clear while the other flutes have a little bit of the beefy tone.
Yeah, it's an amazing flute! It's fun to hear them all back to back :)
Gina Luciani I’ve also been wondering if you can do a Lefreque review? Maybe even with different materials?
how much discount will i get if i tell the code?
Sounds beautiful! What was the piece of music you played in this video?
It's one of my favs, "Fantasy" by Hue. I play both the opening and a middle slow section :)
That was interesting. I did not know there was so much difference between types of flutes. Do you give nicknames to your flutes?
Great question! I never have, but I have a lot of friends that named their instruments!
How much cost a flute 24 GOLD YAMATO FL 511?
Hi Gina, I am starting to learn flute again (learned for 2 yrs in high school but stopped) and I am considering to buy a step up flute and hope it will last for some good years down the road. I’ve set my budget at US$1300. What would you recommend me to choose? I have seen some of your comparison videos but couldn’t make any decision. Would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
First, I would highly recommend doing a trial to see what you sound best on (if you use my code "Gina" at The Flute Center of New York it's a longer trial AND free!). In your price range there are a couple great deals going on currently. I'd probably either lean towards:
Azumi AZ1: flutecenter.com/collections/shop-all-flutes/products/azumi-by-altus-model-az-1-offset-g
Normally $1,924, now $1,269
or
Di Zhao 400:flutecenter.com/collections/shop-all-flutes/products/dizhao-400
Normally $1,679, now $1,211
Hope this helps!
wait gina?!??!!? do your TJ virtuoso’s tenons get stuck together when you’re done playing it?? because mine do, and often leave a brassy color on the headjoint and part on the body where the footjoint goes. it’s so so problematic, because every month i’m at the shop getting it unstuck. i wondered if you ever had that same problem.
Hmm that’s super weird. I’ve never had that happen and I have had mine for a bit now... make sure to use a micro-fiber cloth to clean all the tenons after each time you play it. That will most likely do the trick!
I have about nine flutes I have two Chinese flutes and I also have three student model flute Plus professional model flute which I named anonymous because I can never find my flute brand online
That's awesome! Are the Chinese flutes Dizis or just by a Chinese maker??
@@GinaLuciani it's a Chinese flute I think one is in the key of D and the other one is key of G
Do Naruto Sad cover please
Oh my God can you please try the $84,000 Haynes Amadeus flute
Sure! I have already have the next 7 or so videos scheduled, but I'll try to do it after that!
@@GinaLuciani thank you so much
Gina Luciani can u also play a full platinum flute side by side with a full gold?
Brasil
Thanks for stopping by!
I still didn’t get what you we’re playing at first
Kesini karena putri ariani
damn...flutes are expensive
After this I found that indian bamboo flute is many times better than a metallic western flute
Are you a member of the church of Jesus Christ of ladder day saints?
I am not but they are lovely people!
Am I wrong to cringe seeing you gripping your flute over the keys!!??!! And it is a gold flute at that!!!!
expensive flutes...
