Not only is 3rd octave response important but for alto flutes in this price range and quality I would say intonation is just as important in that register. The intonation in the top register (Written top G-C) of the Yamaha and the Atlus was very sharp, I am curious as to how alt fingerings would affect the sharpness in that register, the intonation in the 3rd octave of the Haynes seemed a lot more stable and I was surprised that the top written C on the Haynes was not almost a quarter tone sharp like it was on the other 2 flutes.
I played flute and piccolo for years. I wish I would have kept with it. I was great at sight reading and just loved the instrument so much! Not a lot of opportunities to play after high school around here (Iowa). Thanks for sharing this amazing instrument with others!!
I’ll be honest - they weren’t available at the time. They are in such high demand they fly off the shelves! In my next video I do demo a Sanko bass though!

I’m going to the NFA convention next week and I have a list of different brand alto flutes I want to try. So excited!
Excellent review!
I have a pearl alto flute and it’s such a beautiful instrument
That was my first Alto!! So great!
@@GinaLuciani can you please do an alto flute collection video bass flute
I want to see a high end bass video with a Sankyo, Kotato and Eva Kingma
@@Thedreadedflutist yes
Growing up, I only knew of one flute. Never knew of alto or bass flutes. I lived in a dang bubble lol
Could u do another piccolo review, but specifically for high school students on a budget?
Check out my piccolos for marching band! They are really greatly priced!
Hello Gina, what do you think of the Yamaha 272sl?
Thanks!!) Like for you from me:) I think all three flutes is great. And have you Alto Flute with "B" footjoint maybe, Gina?)
Why you did not compare Sankyo and Muramatsu? They are one of the best and expensive Alto Flutes !

Did you really played flute in Billie Ellish concert... If yes which flute was it? ...make a video for fans of the starting music of no time to die.
