Roger...I'm getting a D unkeyed. Have played and borrowed a friends Ormiston and fell in love with it... So easy to play, straight off! I have tried loads, and they have usually been hard to play needing loads of puff, or are horrible to play. This one was a dream.
I know I will have to break a new one in... but he has had good recommendations from friends of mine who have them too.
At the moment I am borrowing a silver concert flute, which is ok... but is annoying, especially when I go and pick up the whistle, and start doing a wrong fsharp. lol my brain is still in concert flute mode.
I'd tried the plastic student flutes and didn't get on with them at all...
