I need a very cheap (but always a bit good) plastic flute, waiting to buy a good polymer or wooden one (now i’ve not a lot of money)
My budget is more or less 100-120$. What do you suggest me?
Doug Tipple, Dixon, Hamilton or others?
I’ve also seen this:

But it’s out of my budget
Doug…definitely Doug in that price range. Or, a Billy Miller bamboo flute…which is not plastic…but a great deal if price is the key issue.

what he said
an italian flute player, suggested me the wooden-aluminium gurovich flute
http://www.mg-woodwinds.com.ar/instruments.htm#
he said that it is very very good.
Does someone try it?
Tony Dixon is now making inexpensive Tapered Bore flutes with one or two piece bodies (£32.00 & £56.00).
Here’s a link to Dixon’s Website: http://www.tonydixonmusic.co.uk/catalogue/dixonshop.html
Here’s a link to Calum Stuart playing one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkAzL4JosFM
Happy Hunting!
Dang…that puppy sounds pretty good. However, Calum Stewart is likely to sound good on anything.
I played one of the new tapered dixons and was really taken with it for the price.
The taper is slight and I wonder why he didnt make it more like a conical flute ifthe technology is there?
I didnt much like the whistle version though with more time with it it may have grown on me.
I would have bought it that day but the store wanted seventy pounds for the untunable and I know its cheaper elsewhere.
If Dixon were to make an E, F and G around the same price every fluter should buy one.
(and would!)
I bought a used Tipple F and liked it enough to order a
Tipple D four piece in black PVC.
These are my first flutes.
Hans Bracker also has PVC flutes, though I’ve no experience with them.

I picked up a Tipple in D, black with faux silver rings, with lip plate and wedge. Very happy with it.
but, is the two parts polymer D flute out of production? I can’t find it.
Where i can buy one of this?
Who’s flute do you want?
the polymer two pieces low d dixon
What is the material of the lod d dixon flute? Is it make off pvc? Or it’s another kind of polymer?
The 2 piece Dixon is there: TB021D - Tuneable flute
You just have to scroll down from the link above. It’s likely PVC or a PVC like material…his 3 piece is Delrin but I don’t think his other flutes are Delrin.
Tony will respond if you email him, though, so you could find out for all of us.

Thanks Jordan. I’m hoping to try one next time I visit a shop.
An aside question: Calum is using baroque fingering grip for the right hand in the playing. I’ve seen him do this mostly for his flute playing like:

(what flute is this one btw)
The Dixon is affordable 
many thanks, i’m oriented to the pvc tipple
