I have to say I'm absolutely gobsmacked piscismoon that you got your flute for under $300!!!!! That's how much my parents paid for my gemy 2sp 5 years ago!! I'm really happy for you and jealous xD. I mean doesn't that particular Emerson model retail under 3k or so? And a lot of the new Jupiter Models, including their Demedci (spelled wrong sorry)are really nice for the money.Īs for Yamaha.I don't particularly like the Yamaha models below the 500 series, including the 211 model, and find them over-priced imho. You won't know what you are missing until you try a decent flute. Why sell yourself short and only look into those two brands when there is so much more (and better) brands out there for the money? If you like it, then okay. There are MUCH better flutes in the same price range as an Emerson 88b.
You would have been further ahead with a Yamaha student 221. Then when you upgrade, you get a bigger proportion of your investment back on resale. If I would have read this thread before you had made your decision I would have told you not to go with either one of the brands mentioned. But resale value is much higher on a used Yamaha 200 after five years, so a better flute, a more repairable, refurbishable flute is a better financial investment.
