This is common practice for Gemmy, Armstrongs, etc. many doublers buy a student model, and change the headjoint. Puts all of my open hole flutes to shame! The problem is in the west, closed hole intermediate/professional flutes are not common. I have a handmade Miyazawa closed hole flute.

Maybe not, but I like playing on it better than I do It is actually a great instrument for the price. If I were going to recommend a cheap new flute, I would recommend It has a nice, fat tone and I still play it occasionally. I paid $100 for my olds, and I still consider it the best deal I've ever gotten. < Things like Yamaha, Gemeinhardt (relatively nice beginner instruments, and Pearl (I have a 765 RBE CODA.love it.
