Nobody's being snotty. Just (like you) making alternative suggestions.s1m0n wrote:Snottily rejecting an alternate solution to his problem is the opposite of gracious.
This is why I suggested Bernolin. I haven't tried the Aulos Stanesby Jr., but I have had the Grenser, my Bernolin (A=415) is better, and I'd expect any Bernolin to be better. And prices are comparable.paddler wrote:Aulos makes a couple of baroque flutes in plastic. One is a Grenser model and the other is a Stanseby Jr. I think the latter is the better flute, but its pitched at A=415hz (which might not matter if you don't intend to play with others). The Grenser is pitched at A=440hz. These are not Irish session instruments, they are baroque flutes, but should match the requirements you outlined fairly well. They cost a few hundred dollars new, and can often be found for close to your target price used.
