I had a Copeland on loan and loved it. It's now gone back to it's home and I have been playing the Goldie but not getting on with it.

I'd be really interested to know your reasons for your preferences to boehm / simple system / keyed for traditional music? Wood or Silver? - Why? Simple or Boehm? Why did you choose the system y...

I've heard the Guo flutes have some tuning issues, anyone come across this?
