Looking for a new flute, need some advice!?
I'm a sophomore, and looking to(finally...) step up from my student flute(Armstrong, btw...). I've been looking at some options and my favorites are the Pearls, because of the pinless make and the one core bar. I want to know wether I'm choosing well or not, so here are my top picks(In order from fave to least....)

Thanks for any help!
The WoodWind and Brass WInd site flutes are sold new
Also, I try to stay away from the Gemmies. The embouchoure(SP?!?!) hole is cut a little differently(Well, they're all cut differently, but Gemmies it seems to really stand out on)
Any of the three of these is a fine flute. The only way to know for sure which you prefer is to play them.
Of course the Elegante or Quantz Coda will be the choice because of the silver body.
Both are offset G, French, and B foot. Both are silver head and body and both have a split E.
The 795 comes stock with a better quality headjoint - hand cut. If you're buying an aftermarket head though, this won't matter.
I like gold on my lip because I tarnish silver badly - that's not that significant a decider though. I also like my lip engraved because I wear a beard and the engraving helps with slipping. These can be done aftermarket though.
Bottom line? You're going to have to play them to decide. That's the only reasonable way.
