Lol just like the title says, I bought a $30 pink flute from eBay. Let's see how it plays and if it will hold up against my 9 karat gold $20,000 professional flute. All in the name of fun, pls don't take this too seriously ;) Like I mention in the video, obviously ANY flute is better than no flute!

Right, she’s obviously an expert flautist and made it sound lovely, but it sounded exhausting to make it sound good. I cannot imagine a 10yo beginner trying to get good tone from that instrument, while learning how to breathe. Reminds me of myself at age 12 trying to get good tone on my middle school’s plywood bass with an insanely heavy plastic bow. Christ, that was a nightmare, and I bet learning flute on the pink one would put some kids off flute entirely.

to be honest the cheap flute doesn't sound that bad, and I think most people who don't know much about flute wouldn't notice much difference between the cheap one and your muramatsu one, but like I can hear your struggle while you play edit: I've played flute for 6yrs and I know that it takes a lot to make such a cheap instrument sound so good, my english isn't that good so by saying that the cheap flute doesn't sound that bad, I meant that it doesn't sound as bad as I expected when such a good player as her plays it but I don't expect everyone to play so well with the cheap flute

@aprilbennett4161 5 лет назад

I'm not so sure about that. As a beginner-level flute, yes, it's okay, but the Muramatsu really serves to highlight the pink's failings. She looked like she was physically struggling with the pink flute, and kept running out of air... Never mind a particular note at the 9:52 mark sounding plain horrendous.

No makeup or lipstick is going to stay off your flute. Wipe it off your chin before playing. Lip stains won't transfer as much, but they still will a little (in my experience).

hi Julie! Thanks for your comment :) I think that the best way to go is lip stains or tints. I don't normally wear foundation of a daily basis, but I recently switched to Estee Lauder Double Wear and it seems to not transfer much to the lip plate or cause that "flute beard" discoloration on my chin! I linked all my favorite makeup products in my amazon influencer page- www.amazon.com/shop/katieflute?listId=27LAG9HDQ17OW&ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_list_own_katieflute_dp_bwm4phFqooSh7 and some of my fav lip products are there. The one I'm wearing in the video is the Buxom one. :)

*Flashbacks in Clarinet* I remember the first time I played flute, it was beginning band in 4th grade, I chose to play flute for the sake of the beauty and blindly did I know I was doomed for I have put myself into the doorsteps of hell... I never even got past the part on how to make a sound much less by the time I was faced with my first pass-off my tears of desperation lifted me away into the sweet release of freedom. Atlast, I returned into the music world and started over as the peak of the woodwind throne: The clarinet. From there, I have managed to create blessings ans beauty at a balance with beautiful sound of a clarinet where I remain grateful to be saved and continuing a new path of Joy. Moral of the story: If it doesn't bring you joy, go back and try the second path.

@discogoth 2 года назад

Kind of. I’m a bassist and a good quality bow actually makes a huge difference. A public middle school’s communal bass will generally have an extremely heavy bow with a plastic stick and the screw will likely tighten and loosen the hair unevenly. A high quality bow is usually a warm sounding but lightweight wood, or carbon. So they’re super light, and the screw usually tightens very smoothly & evenly, giving you the most control on the string. All of this to say, a high quality instrument is far easier to play because you’re knocking out variables left and right to where your musicianship is the deciding factor in how good you sound. I’m a decent bassist, got into music school, and would have graduated with a bass performance degree if I didn’t get hurt and have to quit. But even playing a $100,000 bass I wouldn’t sound as good as Rinat Ibragimov would on a $5,000 bass. However, he wouldn’t sound very good on a $1,000 plywood school bass with a super heavy plastic bow because they’re incredibly hard to play. My first semester of music school I was blown away at the difference in my playing after upgrading to my college’s fully-carved rental bass with a carbon fiber bow, from my high school’s plywood bass/plastic bow.

@lia5911 5 лет назад

Dam. That pink flute is so airy. Like when I play my flute. 😂

@WoodwindsRock26 5 лет назад

It's so aesthetically pleasing I think I just have to have one for that reason. Flute is the one woodwind that I absolutely just can not get a sound out of no matter how hard I try, so, it wouldn't matter that it's not the best. Lol.

@christophertsiliacos8958 5 лет назад

👏👍 Hi Katie - I was quite impressed with the way you played that cheap $30 no-name pink flute; and that's even after hearing you play your 9k Muramatsu. I can only imagine how well you would sound playing a 40k Brannen. As for me, I'm satisfied with my $139 Hallelu HFL-300 concert flute I purchased on Amazon three years ago. 11:37 Even though it’s not worth repairing, when that cheap $30 flute gives up the ghost, you can always make a nice decorative wall hanger out of it for its “aesthetic quality.” It doesn’t necessarily have to be consigned to the junk heap. BTW: You wouldn’t happen to play the pan flute? I’m amazed of how many accomplished concert flutists don’t play the pan flute. I assume you also play the piccolo. Happy fluting! 🎼 ♫ 😄

@Svartr.HrafnSvartr 5 лет назад

You still made it sound pretty! There's an obvious lack of depth to it's tone but I'm amazed that it played at all - but even still, you did manage some dynamics after the flute and/or you warmed up a bit. I think it'd be a nice wall ornament in your music room, especially if you have other pink decor! Thanks for the vid... I've always been curious how the cheap eBay/Amazon flutes sounded and if a professional would recommend them at all for new players to tinker with. I think I would agree that too cheap of an instrument would only needlessly frustrate a beginner.

Ah yes you’re the person I saw on Instagram since I follow the #flute tag and I laughed when I saw the pink flute you got, was not expecting you to pop up in my RU-vid feed though. Despite that flute being cheap, it did sound nice when you played it (probably because you’ve had plenty of experience with playing lol) but really it sounded nice! I’m still a rather young flute player since I’ve only been playing for 4 years but I’ll be sure to start following you on insta + you earned a sub from me since I’m such a nerd when it comes to this stuff :)

Hi, Katie (I am a first time visitor to your channel). I purchased an inexpensive flute from an on-line music retailer to take with me when I spend time in my camper. There is no way I would take my good instruments camping but it is fun to have one with me if I want to hike in the nature preserve and play in the forest (and I have always wanted to own a purple flute, anyway so that is another excuse).

Very interesting video Katie, I'm impressed with your super tonging and ease of transferring between registers - excellent job. Also glad you mentioned how it would be difficult to get repaired, which is the problem with those cheap flutes, might as well just order several at once to have backups!
