I mean doesn't that particular Emerson model retail under 3k or so? And a lot of the new Jupiter Models, including their Demedci (spelled wrong sorry)are really nice for the money.Īs for Yamaha.I don't particularly like the Yamaha models below the 500 series, including the 211 model, and find them over-priced imho. You won't know what you are missing until you try a decent flute. Why sell yourself short and only look into those two brands when there is so much more (and better) brands out there for the money? If you like it, then okay.
There are MUCH better flutes in the same price range as an Emerson 88b. You would have been further ahead with a Yamaha student 221. If I would have read this thread before you had made your decision I would have told you not to go with either one of the brands mentioned. Those who play Emerson and have played on Emerson brand flutes for the past 30 years can testify to how much they enjoy their flute.Sorry to hear that you chose an Emerson. It uses standard pads / corks / springs / screws and is easily serviced by local repair technicians. This flute is a fantastic instrument to be played and enjoyed for many years to come. Sterling Silver hand cut head joint, sterling silver body, French key arms and gold springs create a flute that moves throughout the passages while maintain a lush full tone. You can't find this quality and features in even a Chinese knock off. This flute has many features that you won't find in any flute in this price range. The Emerson Flute such as the 88B was a staple used by Professionals and advancing flutists, and retailed at approx.
Emerson Defords factory that did not ship to dealers. Emerson DeFord no longer makes flutes, there are fantastic deals to be found on quality USA made flutes priced at a fraction of the original selling price. The Emerson or ELD flute was used by students (student grade), intermediate flutists (intermediate grade), Prof / Conservatory (88 B model or Pro grade), and highest Grade Professional (Boston Legacy). Sterling Silver Flute Made in USAĮmerson DeFord has had a lifetime of experience engineering and making high quality flutes in his Elk.
