When purchased new, these flutes come with little rubber corks in the holes. He mentioned in his letter that they're going to start with reading music.Six of the keys on an open-holed flute are just that, open holes in the keys. Hopefully she doesn't need the flute right away. I'm also going to email the band director and let him know what we're doing. I wrote down all the info and we're going to wait and see what the estimate is. The first guy seemed to think that our flute would be fine for her to start. We could also rent to own through the school. Anyway, the new flute from there would be rent to own and $500-$800 dollars total. I just got a funny feeling while he was talking- very much a salesman. I asked if there was any reason that a new flute would be easier for her to play (has anything changed since I got that one) and he said no but another guy interrupted and started explaining their rent to own plan and that a new flute would be much better for her etc. The first guy we talked to said it looked like it was in good usable condition and would probably just need pads and a chemical cleaning. Thanks for all the replies! We dropped the flute off for an estimate at the Music and Arts store yesterday. We need more band parents out there !!!!!!! Good luck to your child & good luck to you. Try finding a local flute teacher and they either have a kit or could recommend someone nearby in your town to fix it, I would guess-to-mate maybe $100-$200 but not $800. These instruments are cheap, but a tune up or having the corks, pads shouldn't be $800. The mouth pieces are (Warburtons) that's the killer for him, they are $80 for the back bores & $40-60 for the cups. it gets more expensive as he gets older, and the next will be a picillo (sp?) trumpet.I haven't a clue how much that bad boy cost, somewhere over the $3000 wants to be a Music Teacher (Loves the high school bands).
Bundy flute worth plus#
year for graduation, we purchased him a B6 orī1 silver Schilke $2600.00 plus $236 for the case. The very 1st trumpet we ever bought him was when he was in the 6th grade - rent to own for $600 but 3 years later (9th grade) we bought him a trumpet (Bach) w/hard case w/shipping included Interstate Music for $1449, but his Sr. in college now) and we don't know much about a flute, but that sounds steep. (I feel like I am writing a parent e-mail right now, lol).
If your flute doesn't work out, that is another option for you! They typically do rent-to-own the first year, and that comes with insurance incase of defect or "oopses" on the kids' part. That is the beginner model flute we recommend to our kiddos.
Also see how they think it will hold up in the long run - some instruments will need to be sent to the shop over and over again.Ī brand-new Yamaha 281 costs about $800. Music and Arts is a good, reputable national chain. Yours WON'T cost that much! I would take it to a music store and get an estimate on it and see how much work it really needs.
Bundy flute worth pro#
An overhaul on my handmade Powell was $1200 But that is just one of the things you know you have do do every 5-7 years with a pro model flute. With an instrument that has been sitting around for a while, it is sometimes worth less than the cost of repair. Sometimes getting an overhaul on a beginner model flute can cost $200 or more. With repairing an older instrument, you have to sort of do a cost-benefit analysis. Hi! I'm a band director, and as you can see from my SN, I am a flutist also
