How good are pearl flutes?
Posted by (1) Comment
How good are pearl flutes? Do pro. flutes improve your quality of sound compared to a intermidiate flute? (I fully understand it is the player that is good not the instrument) Do holes in the fingers do anything for a flute player?

Pearl flutes are a very good brand. They are well-made, of good scale design, and superior construction. The headjoints are all cut well, and have excellent response. They hold up well - you OFTEN see 501 or similar models for sale on ebay; I have bought quite a few for students, and have them COAd (clean/oil/adjust) and they were definitely wroth the investment. Many intermediate flute students want open hole flutes, and have no idea WHY. Yes, they demand excellent hand position, which will help with the fluidity and velocity of your technique, but unless you intend to use rim-only fingerings for shadings, etc. - something I have found VERY LITTLE use for in all my years in the business - then you do not need them! A B foot is another story - you use that far more often/ Ditto for some kind of E modification like split E key, donut, or RF (Ray Fabrizio) modification, to facilitate E3. A C# trill key is also handy - you WILL use that!
The biggest improvement in your sound as you step up is to move to at LEAST a silver head - a silver head and body, even better. Keys can be plated - the metal content of them has no effect on the sound - they just better not leak!
As you move up through quality and price of flutes, you will fine the biggest improvements at the lower/medium ends. When you get ot the TOP - and are wondering if the move from a $14,00 silver flute to $35,00 gold flute is going to make a difference in your playing - only if you are WORTHY, and are in the maybe top tne players in the WORLD. There are people with lotsa $$ who make the big expenditure - and find they are disappointed. It is STILL more cattle than hat - the PLAYER and their skill is more important than the instrument. IN a previous similar question, my response said that I can rip a passage in a lesson, and my student will say "Sure, it's you on a $10,00 flute!" So I say "Gimme yours . . " and as long as the flute works, I can still rip it. A better instrument is more responsive and makes the hard stuff easier, and the near-impossible, now possible - but it's the player.

My family makes Native American Style flutes as a hobby and we are wondering how the original flutes were made and what tools where used.
It sometimes depends on the tribe as to the material. Generally they're made of either wood, bone, bark, and even pottery. A few reed instruments existed with wood and bark reeds, as well.
